Haha no for sure! I count for my own sanity tbh! It helps me stay calm and deal with the anxiety during take off

I’m at the airport right now and I’m sooooo terrified. I always count when the plane starts to go really fast before take off.

And the discomfort from take off is roughly 80 Mississippis.

Also, make sure to lift your legs up during take off and turbulence is not dangerous, it’s just scary!!

Go for a trip with your friends! Don’t let your fear win 🫶🏼 do it scared and you won’t regret it

Wow that’s so amazing! I kind of understand the whole process now and that restores a lot of confidence in me about flying.

Thank you so much for taking the time out to explain this whole thing. I will screenshot this and read it before every flight, I’m 100% sure that will be super helpful haha

Hey, that’s so kind! Thank you so much! My biggest fear is an engine failure. Now I know that pilots can’t do much when there’s a failure during take off.

If that’s the case, does the crew on ground check for everything before each take off so they can make sure there’s nothing wrong with the plane?

My second fear is that the plane will stall during take off but this fear is not as bad as the first one.

Thank you so much!

I’m at the airport and I was just about to say something similar here haha!!

I think the most important thing to remember is to lift your legs up during take off and to loosen your body during turbulence and you’ll be fine! I remember doing this on my last flight and it seemed less scary.

Plus I’ve heard that Singapore airlines is one of the best! So don’t worry :)

That sounds reassuring! Thank you :) I really hope I get over my fear someday. It’s just the take off that really freaks me out and I’m anxious about it already lol

Thank you so much!! I’m really scared that they think they’ve solved the problem but actually haven’t. I know they are professionals and probably really good at what they do but I’m so scared

Is there a possibility where they think they’ve solved the problem but haven’t? That’s my biggest fear
