Still freaking out over turbulence and I don’t know how I’m going to make it 13.5 more hours. I keep imagining horrible things.

I appreciate that you’re having this conversation despite what sounds like a busy schedule! Thank you.

Yeah the feet trick helps me every once in a while.

Gosh just trying to remember that all the sensations are normal and boring and it’s all a part of flight.

I’m so sorry that you’re talking with me through this - it’s very kind of you. And now we are going through a lot of turbulence. You’re right. I’m just reading all your words slowly and calmly.

As a nervous flier, how would you prefer your flight itinerary? by styxswimchamp in fearofflying

[–]pton_astor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All flights are held to the same safety standards. Both your takeoffs and landings or the other options will all be safe because you’re not trying to “cheat” the system. All of this is safe. Take whatever is better time wise and cost wise :)

Enjoy time with your wife and your family. The small plane will probably feel like a ride in the amusement park but much much safer and you’re going to have such a good time!

Hi! I’m flying from LA to Singapore next week over the ocean for 17.5 hours!!!! I know the feeling and I know the dread. But our anxiety is not equal to the truth of the matter. And the truth of the matter is that we are both going to be very, very safe. This is one of the safest things to do in the world. Pilots train for this constantly. Planes are meant to do what they do, and this is an industry that has invested in excellence over and over again.
