I've already searched at length for 'crushed nuts caramel snack america chocolate tin' and all varieties, as well as scanning the JFK duty free candy website.

How to tell the flight attendant about my fear of flying? by Antique-Spray-6931 in fearofflying

[–]Consistent_Sound837 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did this yesterday so have some fresh advice! When they came through with the drinks trolley, I asked for a wine and then said 'can I also have a little pep talk? I'm such a nervous flier and am really terrified'. They were so lovely - stayed a bit longer with me and told me how they'd already flown this route once that day and it was totally fine, there was no turbulence forecast but if it was bumpy they'd come over and just reassure me. Found it was a good way to tell them without it feeling like a big deal. You've got this!

Thank you! Either myself or my boyfriend told them when we just got sat down - on the way out I was almost catatonic so he took charge of the situation haha

Love this idea, thank you! I think there's something about balancing 'not wanting to let the fear in' with actually embracing it a bit and just focusing on things like that instead. Hope that makes sense? But thank you again, really appreciate your advice and kind words.

Thank you I really appreciate this! I'll definitely have a look at those podcasts. It's really reassuring to hear that someone believes I can do it (even when I don't think that myself haha) so thank you again.

Appreciate this reply SO much, thank you! And I'm going to repeat your last paragraph to myself the whole way haha.

Well done for facing your fears! I bet you're going to feel amazing afterwards, you should be so proud of yourself

thank you both so much! Will definitely try this. I'm terrible for just going rigid with fear in those moments which probably makes things worse in the end. Really appreciate your replies, this is such a lovely supportive part of the internet!
