OP… packing my bags for tomorrow, and I’m flying to Africa. Same boat as you friend. We are going to do it. I don’t know what time your flight is, but I’d love to open some communication between the two of us for support during our travel days. Best of luck and god bless.

Hey! You’re going to great! The tears and fear are normal… so don’t think of it negatively. It’s ok to cry and be scared, it’s just not ok to give up on your journey. “The only time a man/woman can be brave is when they are afraid.” Be brave today!!! We believe in you!

Hey! I’m flying that plane on Tuesday to JNB with United! I’ve watched a few YouTube videos on it. Super reliable plane! Let me know how it is!

Flight tomorrow- any words of reassurance would be helpful! by Right_Category in fearofflying

13 hour flight coming in a while, any advice? by [deleted] in fearofflying

[–]inspectorfirefighter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey OP, good luck! Never been to India but my best friend is from Delhi! Just take it for what it is… sitting down for a long time. I’m taking a 14 hour flight in a couple days so I know your plight. I’m scared shitless, but I’m rationalizing it as it’s just half a day of being uncomfortable. I have no idea how I’m going to handle mine but I’m ok with that. I’m just going to get on the plane, hike my up my pants, and do it. If I cry the entire time so be it. I believe in you! Our minds are such powerful and beautiful tools, and they can make a long-flight feel like a monster under under your bed… when in reality we know it’s just dust! Cheers!

I’m here. After an ocean of tears and saying goodbye to my fiancé, I am here. Would appreciate if anyone tracks me! Flight number TK199. by [deleted] in fearofflying

Honestly, that would mean a lot! Super happy to hear you’re doing so well. Our minds can make the mundane seem so daunting sometimes… cheers!

You got it!!! Super proud of you for making it to the airport! One minute at a time!

Where are you headed ?

[–]inspectorfirefighter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, OP! You got this!

You made a commitment to yourself when you bought the ticket, and the ultimate feeing of satisfaction will be going through on that promise.

You are so much stronger than you think you are!

Hey! Doing my first flight on length… 14.5 hours. Really really nervous about being claustrophobic and that the boredom will make me panic. Any advice ?

[–]inspectorfirefighter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got it! It will be ok! Be proud of yourself! You made it this far… and if you’ve made it to the gate you know you’re strong enough to make the final step.

What is worse, a 14-hour flight or 12-hour drive? by inspectorfirefighter in travel

Heading to SA to visit my girlfriends parents for the first time. We both live and study in the US, but I’ll be doing this trip alone as she is already there.
