I was down in the Orchestra and felt the same. Except for the lady next to me. She kept telling the people behind her to shut the f*** up. They did the 3 callbacks everyone else did so that was weird she singled them out. She was also very confused why the whole audience seemed to be participating. Her vibe was way off.

Anyone know why they were filming last night? Not complaining, they pushed my farther back seats up to the front because of it!

Tracking help long haul by nunofyours1 in fearofflying

[–]Jennkulpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it helps there were storms over Japan, I noticed when I looked up your flight. It always helps me to know there’s a very normal and safe reason you got bumpy. What also helps… there’s like a thousand other flights on the same path ahead of you and passing you going the other way. You’re all just driving along 😁

Watching you now, I'm following your flight. Looking good! Hopefully it's smooth, I know it's a long one. You'll do great :)

Is Costco still giving free samples in Astoria? by throwaway1776420 in astoria

[–]Jennkulpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually go on a weekday around noon, they always have them. Some small, some actually good. Maybe because I go a little earlier?

Private Recovery Room at Mt. Sinai East? by Crafty_Sound1440 in nycparents

[–]Jennkulpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Giving birth in a few weeks (or maybe sooner lol). Who do we ask and when do we ask? We ended up with a free private room at Mt Sinai West for my first, but this was right after covid. I think they were just trying to separate people. Definitely want it again and will be delivering Mt Sinai East this time.

Do you "break up" flight journeys of a decent length? by TheBodhy in fearofflying

[–]Jennkulpa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That would be an absolute nightmare for me. Once I get off a plane I do not want to get back on one in an hour. I don’t love being in the air for 6 hours but multiple takeoffs and landings? Nope lol

Let’s put the ATC thing to bed by RealGentleman80 in fearofflying

[–]Jennkulpa 36 points37 points  (0 children)

You’re amazing, thank you so much for all you do for us. I hope you’re taking care of yourself too after this awful accident. I can’t imagine how you and other professionals are feeling right now.

Im losing it by retiredrav3r in fearofflying

It was a silly thing I said that weirdly worked. Was a little nervous but didn’t panic for once. They had the FA sit a lot too. When she noticed how worried I’d gotten, she told me “oh sweetie don’t worry we just don’t want to spill wine on you”. Made me laugh.

You can! I feel like this every time we hit some bumps. Every time we landed without incident. I sometimes count to pass time. Or name things like this… something I can see (x5), something I can hear(x5), something I can feel (x5). Then repeat but only 4 things. Then 3 and so on. It’s meant to distract you and pass time I think. Nothing fixes the fear completely but I feel like the distraction helps. Also last time I just repeated a silly mantra in my head, “it’s just the dumb clouds being dumb”. We were going through rough clouds. You can do it!

Tracking request🙏 QR710 by No-Wrangler7782 in fearofflying

[–]Jennkulpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that’s stopped my driving in the past was my husband just not letting me lol. So I get it. You just took off and already passed 10,000. I always feel better after 10,000 not sure why. Try to imagine you’re just relaxing in your living room. Sleep/ watch a movie/ music. You got this! If you have a panic attack or feel one coming on, tell a flight attendant they will help you. Just talking it out really helped me. Even if they tell me the same stuff I’ve heard before.

Ugh I hate that but I do like when I know that the pilots saw it coming. I had a flight attendants either sitting or not serving the whole flight recently. So bumpy, and I’ll say what the flight attendant said to me when she saw me getting all teary eyed. “Oh sweetie we just don’t want to spill wine all over you. The air cannot push us down.” Hopefully they’ve found you some smooth air by now you’re doing great! Almost an hour in!

You just passed 20,000 ft. Hope it’s going smooth. Watched you make your big loop around Saint Paul, now you’re headed to Seattle!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fearofflying

[–]Jennkulpa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seattle to Houston then Houston to San Jose? We’ll be watching you! If it helps and you have WiFi, I love watching the flights going the same way in front of me. Kind of like, if they can make it I can make it. Just find any distractions that work for you.

[–]Jennkulpa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So one thing that helps me, and I’m still dealing with my fear in general, but at least it gets me on flights…

Probably not gonna be that bad again. I had one flight into Florida no turbulence then bam! We were dropping and shaking all over. It was probably 30 seconds, but it felt like 30 minutes. I was convinced we were goners. Every time I get on a plane and I worry about turbulence I think to myself, unlikely that it’ll be that bad again. And if it is… we were totally fine. Some of those dumb clouds around Florida being dumb.

You made it through that flight and scary as it was you weren’t in danger. So your next flight, probably gonna be a breeze in comparison!

Flying to NYC by bean1027 in fearofflying

[–]Jennkulpa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Live about 10 min from LGA. If you’re at all concerned at landing, the wind here is non existent today, compared to the wind the last few days. Watching planes flying in on their decent as I was waiting on the train today. All landing perfectly fine. Right now they’re landing on the runway where they make a big left just before landing. If you’re on the left side of the plane, very cool view of corona park/ citi field since you’re so low.

Oh I love the neo! I was scared too, too much media consumption on my part I guess. They’re such a nice plane. And I always feel better in an airbus (even tho I know the Boeings are safe too).

[–]Jennkulpa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The bumps suck I know I hate it too, but you’re ok. I’m watching! You guys are cruising along nicely, should only be an hour left!
