It was never a secret that a certain Natsu Dragneel had a weakness in the form of transportation. If he could just burn each and every form of carriage, train, plane, bus, and ship in the world, then life would have been ten times much better.
A big 'NO' is his reply (always) whenever faced with his greatest fear, but what others didn't know is that the great fire dragon slayer has 5 secrets that he would never tell.

1. He never really loathed riding on a carriage especially when he's riding with Lucy. Actually, if it wasn't out of his character, Natsu would even live inside that four-cornered box. No, he doesn't feel dizzy at all; it was simply a part of his plan so that he could be as near as humanly possible to the celestial mage. And yes, it succeeded every single time.

2. He never thought a train ride could be so fun until Lucy came along. Of course, he still used his good old tactics but what made it even better than all his other arch nemesis (a.k.a. transportation), was that he could lie on Lucy's lap for a very long time while watching Gray's jealousy take over him –served him right.

3. When they rode on the airship to save the world from Oracion Seis for the first time, two thoughts occupied his mind – one, that he was so fired-up and was itching for a fight, and two, was how nice it felt to soar through the sky with Lucy by his side (and he also silently wished to have another cat so that he and Lucy could fly the world together – Happy, grow another set of hands please?)

4. When Master Makarov decided to buy a bus for their guild's excursion, everybody laughed at him as he hauled his breakfast inside the plastic bag on Lucy's hand. It was at that time when Lucy asked him 'What would it take for you to stop hauling every time when you're riding something?', of course, it was his chance of a lifetime so as soon as he went to the comfort room and brushed his teeth (under the pretence that he was okay due to Wendy's troia), he went for the kill and kissed Lucy full on the lips, and said 'This'.

5. It always confused him whenever Mirajane would squeal in delight every time he and Lucy do some mushy things together (i.e. kiss, hug, and him being sent flying to the wall courtesy of Lucy's punch) while Levy would sulk on her chair as she muttered 'Stupid Mira, I'm going down with my GraLu ship you hear that?'. So out of his curiosity, he asked Mirajane about what Levy meant asa ship, but Mira simply laughed at him and said 'being on a ship is fun' – and that was the reason why he suddenly asked Lucy on a cruise ship (not because he thought she would like it, but because he wanted to know why it was fun).

So you see, Natsu Dragneel never had a weakness for transportation (and he would never burn it since life's a hundred times better when they're around), because for him, there exist only one form of weakness – and that is one Lucy Heartfilia.
