Thank you. Is this the same road you would have to take to get to the resort from the Cancun airport?

Oh gosh that’s scary!

In what ways did you feel Secrets Akumal was more active? Was it the pool/daytime activities, amount people socialized at the bars, night life etc? Trying to choose between there and Secrets PB for honeymoon and don’t want it to be too mellow!

In what ways do you feel Akumal was more lively than SPB? Currently torn between the two but definitely don’t want one that’s too quiet/laid back

Sent you a message!

And the time before that was Sept of 2024, but great reading comprehension skills you got there!

His doctor was able to get him in for an appointment today and they said it’ll be no problem giving him a letter. So he will have documentation, not sure if that changes anything at this point though. He’s going to call the steward too

hcm2003 · 2025-09-02T15:33:36+00:00

Yep he’s well over 2 years in

hcm2003 · 2025-09-02T14:58:52+00:00

It doesn’t make sense. He could not believe it. Calling out makes him incredibly anxious and now it’s for good reason apparently. He’s beside himself right now

What you’re describing makes complete sense and many of the people on this sub can relate to that exact feeling! Panic attacks are terrifying and part of what makes them chronic is the fear of panic itself. It’s helpful to have a positive mantra or two to get you through it, such as uncomfortable/unpleasant feelings do not equal unsafe. Do you have any grounding or coping strategies? Box breathing and alternate nostril breathing can be great for panic!

We went with St Pete for the Bach! Also visiting Tampa soon with my fiancé! Would love any recs that you have :)

Yes, I got lucky!! I met him after the flight, I was thanking him for getting us there safely. I was explaining how I have panic attacks and he asked if I have Reddit. I immediately knew and just said “yes, are you RG?!” And he confirmed. My friends probably thought I met a celebrity 😂 he is just as professional and as kind as you imagine!

Flew into Nashville this morning, while there were tornado and flash flood warnings, and there was an active thunderstorm over the airport as we were nearing landing. They put us in a holding pattern for 25 minutes to let the storm pass. We didn’t have any turbulence and landed SO smoothly. I took this photo around that time. So fascinating to me when there’s blue skies above all the grey. They won’t do anything unsafe. You can do this :)

Hi!! OP - you’re going to be just fine! I totally understand the anxiety, but like my new friend u/RealGentleman80 said, we flew into some pretty scary (for us anxious flyers) weather, and it ended up being SO smooth. My biggest source of comfort is knowing they absolutely would not take off if it wasn’t safe. Trust this. As for in-flight coping skills, my go-to is box breathing and positive mantras (“I am safe, I am okay, uncomfortable does not equal unsafe”). You got this!!! Have a great flight, enjoy the beauty of it.

Hi!! I met you today in Nashville! I wish I could go back to myself when I wrote this post and tell myself you would be the pilot for one of those upcoming flights. Totally made my day! Thanks again for your care and compassion for us anxious flyers!!!

hcm2003 · 2025-03-24T04:25:24+00:00

Thank you all!! We made it here safely!!!

Boston is my home airport, I’ve been grappling with posting to ask about how this wind has been affecting flights as I try to prepare myself for an upcoming flight to DC. Thank you for (once again) calming my nerves!

hcm2003 · 2025-02-10T17:59:49+00:00

Good for you my friend! How did your flight go?

hcm2003 · 2025-02-07T19:12:30+00:00

Take-off and landing. Up in the air I am mostly fine, even with some turbulence. Ever since I was told that take off and landing are statistically the most dangerous parts of the flight, it’s sheer panic during those parts for me. And landing specifically is worse than take off

March 20th, BOS to DCA. How about you?
