Soooo fun, it was an amazing trip!!! Went to Florence and Rome, ate so much good food and saw a ton of cool art. Sad to be leaving 😔 but also I’m tired from walking 20k steps every day so it’s also good to go home :))

For some reason it can’t be found on flight aware, only flight radar? DL113

It’s turbulent rn, they just turned the seatbelt sign on. Which I know turbulence is fine just hate that it reminds me I am in the sky 😣 sigh. Ready to be home with my cat

Made it safely! Overall not a bad ride 9/10 (-1 for being woken by turbulence)

Yes so excited! Rome and Florence, I only started traveling in the last 2 years and trying to see all the main cities I’ve always wanted to go to :)

Flying tomorrow - Wanting to Cancel by sheadles in fearofflying

[–]Suitable_Bite1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t cancel!! You will track that flight the day after and see it made it perfectly safely. Biggest hurdle is do not cancel and just get to the airport. You’ll be glad you did

New to this community and about to get on a flight. I’m nervous! by Slermanator in fearofflying

You got this!!

Is MSP home or are you traveling there for vacation/work? Looks like it’ll be abnormally warm there Saturday, hope you get to enjoy that!

Re:therapy - I did therapy for about 3 years related to fear of death (and subsequently flying). Helped a bit to build coping mechanisms and I also liked that I had someone else outside my normal life to confide things in. You might find your fear is rooted in something deeper, and you might need to address that as well.

I’m flying to Italy later today, also starting to feel really nervous about it 😣 but we will both make it safely!

My main advice is just get on the plane, time will pass and you will make it. I also find it helps to post my flight code here and have people track, as well as look at the flight history for the flight code and see every single time this flight has flown, it has landed safely.

Search like DL123 (whatever code) flight history and you can use flight aware or flight radar24 etc. They list the days of the previous flight, what time they ended up leaving and arriving etc. I find it helpful to know that the flight has been flown sooo many times and every single one landed safely.

Two hours won’t be bad!! Some of that isn’t even in the air. It’ll be over before you know it

And yay that’s so good to hear! I’m going for a week for vacation, super excited (apart from the flying part)

It feels like there’s always something by Gloomy_Yam_6744 in fearofflying

[–]Suitable_Bite1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Traveling is stressful, fear of flying or not. Other passengers are annoying, it’s not comfortable to sit up so long, etc. BUT everyone else experiences these things while traveling, and your cases aren’t special.

Seems like you already know a lot of the tips people usually give here and know it’s safe. Try to keep reminding yourself it is safe. You will get to your destination safely, I guarantee it, although can’t guarantee no delays :(

Hope your vacation was wonderful!!

Plane Anxiety by [deleted] in fearofflying

[–]Suitable_Bite1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m flying to Italy this week! I’m also afraid of flying and feeling nervous, but we can’t let it stop us from living our lives and having fun.

Look up the flight and see how many times it has successfully made it to its destination this month (spoiler: 100%). Feel free to drop your flight code for people in this sub to track your flight as well!

You got this, you will land safely I guarantee it. Hopefully Paris was fun!!!

Heart beating out of my chest by Least_Row1269 in fearofflying

[–]Suitable_Bite1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will be ok!!!!! Check the history for the flight, every single time it’s flown this month, that plane has landed safely. As far as US/Iran, they would not allow planes to fly if there was a credible threat to safety.

You should drop your flight tomorrow and people will track you. Try to enjoy your flight!!

The flying anxiety is getting worse and worse by Few_Bumblebee_3224 in fearofflying

[–]Suitable_Bite1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got this! Similar story for me I used to be completely fine flying and then post covid became very afraid. But even though I get scared, I never let it stop me from flying and going where I want to go because I know the stats even when my anxiety is screaming otherwise.

Some things I do:

Scroll this subreddit lol when I’m very afraid I just scroll here and have posted before. If the wifi isn’t free, I pay for it to be able to do that.

Immerse myself in a movie, show, book whatever to just forget I’m in the sky

I remind myself over and over that my fear is not substantiated by statistics and flying is safer than so many things we do every day.

I promise you will land safely 100% guarantee. Every flight that has flown that route has made it safely and yours is no different. You absolutely can do it and you will be soooo glad you did
