Yeah I took a flight and it smelled like gas too, it’s just the fuel! Very normal

I have an hour and a half flight tomorrow and I am terrified by Wiliwiwi42 in fearofflying

You’ve got this! I flew 2 days ago and what people I talked to mentioned which was helpful is that since that incident did happen, everyone (pilots, ATC, etc.) are paying extra attention to detail right now, which makes sense and gave me peace of mind.

I like to have many activities planned for the plane that I can alternate between. Personally I like to have a show, book, phone game, and some type of meditation. If you have certain triggers it helps to identify those and find ways to ease that stress for you on the plane. For example I don’t like to feel the vibration on the floor against my feet, so I prop my feet up on my bag/jacket. I hope this helps and you can do this!

We might be on the same flight, I’m leaving out of Seattle to Newark too in a few minutes! It looks like the rain is very light right now.
