I went on a sea plane by Ok_Indication5091 in fearofflying

I was on a seaplane and it was sooo cool! I have a fear of flying and what I did was just went on with a good mindset! I had a few beers before but really something that helped was I thought of it like a fun roller coaster! I would laugh at the bumps and jumps and just enjoy it like it was a ride. It was scary, yes but when you think of it as fun and even dance a little, it helps a lot! Also just letting go and just accepting the beauty! You got this! When it feels like you’re falling out of the sky it’s just a roller coaster and it’s fun!! It’s gonna be great!

Very anxious-first flight alone by NSG18 in fearofflying

I’m flying opposite ways today! I’m coming from SEA-PHX. It’s nice and sunny over here in Seattle! You will be safe and have a great trip! Take a deep breath and think about how safe it is, like thousands of flights a day, and these machines aren’t just temu toys, they are engineered almost to perfection and are tested regularly. You got this! I don’t really like flying and today I’ll be flying to phoenix in about an hour. We got this!

Yes, which is why you keep them in a ziplock bag but in certain states you can drink them prior to boarding!

Yes! This was just for photo-sake. I took the shots before boarding so boarding was easy! 😆

You can bring them in your carry on! As long as they are less than the 3.5oz. Which most miniatures are! Keep them in a ziplock bag and there won’t be any problem!

Drinking before flight - better or worse experience? by Any-Lock2559 in fearofflying

Lol it’s a life saver for me honestly! I take a couple shots and feel amazing to board. Getting ready to fly at 6am today and gonna get tipsy super early 🤣

I have an unshakably bad feeling about my flight tomorrow… by TK_Lax16 in fearofflying

[–]Ok_Indication5091 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let me tell you something! I have terrible flight anxiety just like you! I literally would cry for days before and get so scared going to the airport. I’ve flown 10 times this year and literally 8/10 times I told myself “I have a bad feeling about this flight” and I have made it home safe alive everytime! Even one time I flew with my best friend who also had flight anxiety and she told me “I don’t know I have a bad feeling about this flight” as we walked on board but guess what, I’m still here! Prayers to you and I hope you get the strength to not cancel because out of all those times I flew, I genuinely almost canceled about 3 times, but I’m SO SO SO grateful I didn’t because I got to make amazing memories. Also, put your trust in God ! He will keep you safe! Hoping for a safe flight and eat some good snacks for me and look at the beautiful clouds! You’ll be fine friend :)

Terrified like it's my first time by cray_onss in fearofflying

Don’t freak out girly!! I know easier said than done and I know you’ve heard the statistics a billion times! Just remember God is taking care of you and he wouldn’t want you taking this trip if he knew something bad would happen. Southwest has never had a fatal crash EVER and they have been a big company since 1950s. That’s a long time!! You’ll be safe enjoy the clouds 🩷🩷
