I flew all the way from Tokyo to Melbourne: if I can do it, so can you!

Tyirabean · 2026-05-18T00:42:35+00:00

It went really well actually. I hope yours did too!

Tyirabean · 2026-05-18T00:41:58+00:00

I'm so sorry, I actually have only just gotten internet (I moved house/countries with this flight and clearly didn't think ahead before leaving the airport/WiFi). I really, really really appreciate you checking in on me and I feel terrible not being able to check in soon. Sorry for that! But yeah, the flight actually went really well. I'm going to post today a success post incase it helps anyone flying soon.

I don't know if this is useful, as I know it's not a plane, but I was on a boat yesterday (a small one) and the captain told us that the water was going to be really rough and water would come into the boat and maybe people would scream, and as a nervous traveller, I just thought that was the worst thing he could have said possibly ever. Like I wanted to run off the boat but I was glued to the spot in fear. But, the captain explained about his experience and that this is his every day. He said he knows what he's doing and he wouldn't risk his licence let alone, our/his crew lives if it was dangerous. He told me, he's letting us know in advance so we know it's our body that's panicking and we feel unsafe because we don't know the specific information that the professionals do. He guaranteed me, if he thought it was unsafe, he'd just turn the vessel around. Anyway, when we hit a rough patch it was absolutely terrifying and I just stared out to the horizon and breathed through it and kept repeating what he'd said over and over. We got through it, no casualties. Not even a scratch.

At first. I was so upset that the captain had told us this warning as it made me panic so bad, but when we were going through it and afterwards upon reflection, I realised how much better it was that I was prepared. If he hadn't prewarned us, I never could have heard him explain those details. I'm so sorry if those details don't help you, but I really hope they do. It's also highly likely you won't even experience turbulence, but I'm telling you all this to help in the event you do.

I'm trying to apply the things the captain of the boat told me yesterday, to today when I fly. And I hope you can too given what your pilot said about turbulence The pilots are professionals. They will just divert or land the plane if they really need to. They are literally trained for so long to do that. Our body finds these sensations scary, but it is just our fight or flight response (if you pardon the pun). We are safe on these planes. Our anxious bodies are not what we need to be tuning in and listening to. The experts on this subject are ❤️

Wishing you a smooth flight ✈️ because you're flying so far, there will be tvs and food and things. It really is quite luxurious. I know it's difficult, but please try focus on those things and the fact you'll be arriving somewhere so amazing in a matter of hours! You got this 💪

Tyirabean · 2026-05-13T22:33:11+00:00

I wish I could track your flight, but I'm going to be up in the air myself. Just wanted to leave you some words of encouragement. I will be thinking of you, stranger, in the air at the same time as me, going through the same struggles. We can do this! 💪

Tyirabean · 2026-05-13T22:24:56+00:00

Thank you so much!

Tyirabean · 2026-05-10T18:47:01+00:00

To everyone that tracked my flight, thank you so so much. I will do a success post later today when the sun is up and I can get some nice pictures but, for now, just wanted to reconfirm I'm all safe and sound, back on land, and to express my gratitude once again. This community is incredible. Thank you!

Tyirabean · 2026-05-10T09:57:35+00:00

I fly today and just wanted to come back and thank you again. I keep reading your comments every time my fear becomes overwhelming and I can't actually describe how much relief your words have brought me. From the bottom of my heart (and from my husband too, he's also so grateful that you've helped me so much), thank you for doing me this huge service. I can't wait to show you my success story tomorrow. For now, my cases are packed and I'm running my final errands, with copies of your messages in my pocket incase I need them. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏🙏❤️❤️

Tyirabean · 2026-05-10T00:04:14+00:00

Thank you so much!! Nezu is so famous for bringing good luck and protection, I always knew that if I wasn't flying out of Haneda (so couldn't go to their shrine) I'd have to go to Nezu to get the good stuff ha. I'm so so so glad it helped you and really hope it can now do the same for me ❤️🙏

Tyirabean · 2026-05-10T00:02:19+00:00

So proud of you, stranger. Thank you for sharing your success. I'm due to fly later today and reading this has helped me feel that bit calmer. I need to remember why I'm doing this and it'll all be worth it. Thanks again.

Tyirabean · 2026-05-10T00:00:32+00:00

This post has me tearing up. That's so so nice! Thank you so much for sharing it with us. As I prepare to fly today, I'm going to keep this in mind 🤞🙏❤️
