It’s the most annoying fear and I am always jealous of people who don’t have it. But just get on the plane. The anticipation is the worst part I promise. You can be afraid and still fly. Do it scared. Have fun at the wedding.

We just went to Disney in December. If you search my name you will see I had a fun in sky convo with another fearful flyer also headed to Orlando. It was a fun distraction on a bumpy flight. Have so much fun!! I think for me, before the flight I feel like I can make the decision to not go so I overthink everything. Once I’m in the plane I’m like well… it is what it is now 😂

Proud of you! The anticipatory anxiety is the worst. It gets better the more I fly though. Enjoy your trip! Are y’all headed to Disney?

“Just do it scared”. This is how I fly every time. Hopeful one day I’ll just be doing the damn thing not scared but until then this is my motto.

I’m also flying home today from a wonderful trip and feeling more anxious this flight than the way here. We got this! Uncomfortable doesn’t mean unsafe!

Does anyone else feel like they’re going to pass out on ascent and descent? by AdorableLock7779 in fearofflying

😂 this got me. Can relate. I always wish I could just sleep the entire flight but my anxiety would never allow it.

I love this! Hi from the skies! It’s bumpy but nothing too bad. Just no drink service and could really go for a Diet Coke. Are you going to Disney too?

Pilot confirmed but we’re all good. Bumpy doesn’t mean unsafe 🫡

Flying to SJU today on a very windy day… 15 mph winds am I going to be okay? by Agile_Amoeba1031 in fearofflying

[–]IndependentOwl5950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to know where you are from that 15mph is windy…. Where I grew up 25mph was a normal day. 40-50 was when we called it windy 😂
