i used to be anxious at flights but i recently overcame the fear on a trip to atlanta and i almost feel like sharing what i learned that helped me get over my fear lol. so much so that i'm looking forward to my next flight to see if it helps again. here's a little breakdown of what helped me overcome my fear/apprehension. 1) i learned some fundamentals about flight and planes. for example, planes can fly with just one of the engines in the rare case that one of the two engines fails. and actually, if both fail, the plane continues to glide for tens of miles. it does not just drop straight down, which was what i thought. this is simply a matter of engineering and science. 2) i watched a video on youtube that explained all of the sounds heard on an airplane. in particular, there is one alien type sound that i always heard and just immediately thought something was wrong. no, it's actually a normal sound made by hydraulics starting. 3) turbulence is normal. this is just the fucking truth. i used to think "omg, turbulence, the pilot is losing control!!"......no. turbulence is a normal, expected inconvenience. i had to get this through my thick skull. 4) this last point might be hard to explain, but i think it played a role especially for the takeoff. here it is: i had to just learn to let go. if i was on the plane, and it was starting to take off, i was going to go up in the air and that was it. it's a psychological tactic. here's an analogy: not letting go would be like an animal that continues to pull away when he is being dragged by a lasso around the neck, hurting himself. he has to let go, and counterintuitively move towards the person pulling in order to release the strain on its neck. i had to tell myself i was going up into the sky and that was the end of it. that's about it. all of these points helped me get over me anxiety on my last flight. i hope this helps someone else. don't believe some of the claims i've made? that's fine. you don't take my word for it, go ahead and look into it yourself

A lot of people including myself only fear takeoffs and landings because that’s where the human element comes into play. Once the plane is in the air. I’m fine. Because then it’s all about science and physics. Planes are designed to stay in the air. I trust the Auto pilot.

I am a nervous flyer and will start having anxiety days before. In the past when I mentioned this to the flight attendants I was not helped. They looked at me more as a burden then helping me. I have to say, the exception was from a flight from Chicago back to Brussels. I was very scared and had a migraine. One of the flight attendants noticed me and saw my fear and pain. Mid flight on of the 3 pilots came to calm me down and that changed so much for me. I will forever be very thankful for that flight attendant and the pilot. After the flight I contacted the company to express my gratitude to the flight attendant and the pilot. So, follow Stella's advise and to tell them instead of being like me and making it worse for yourself.

I have a flight in two days and i’m shaking thinking about it right now. U are not alone! But i try to help myself by Breaking down my thoughts before. Like asking myself “what exactly am i afraid of?” And then debunking every irrational little thing, like turbulence; planes are built to handle way more extreme levels of turbulence than they will ever meet up in the air + i once had to sit through some really bad turbulence while landing during a storm, and in the situation i really bossed up and calmed myself better than i had ever imagined i would be able to. Another thing is i look at the other passengers who are sleeping even through take off and landing, and who are eating and cracking jokes - also the flight staff; think about how this is their job - they expect to be done and “home” ever night and are ready to do it all again the next day. Nobody would do what they do if flying was as dangerous as i make it up to be in my mind. To them it is a normal 9-5. Hope your trip worked out, and you had a good flight. Pray for meeeeee

Getting to the gate just in time for boarding is WAY better than sitting there for an hour or more getting more anxious by the minute.

I usually fly with westjet. And I am a super nervous flyer, like turbulance makes me want to cry. I am so afraid of dying, the days prior to flights I feel like I'm walking to my death. I always found that talking to the attendants helped, one gave me a tablet to watch tv for free and something that always stuck with me was when an attendant said "the pilots have families they wanna get home to also".. I also talk to fellow flyers, I cried in the arms of a stranger my last flight lol we landed and I cried and hugged him. Super nice old gentleman, I had called my dad and said goodbye thinking I was gonna die. The isle seat does help me, and so does getting up and moving. This video is super helpful. I live in newfoundland Canada, and my dream is to make it to austraila. Strange tip!! In bad turbulence I close my eyes and pretend I'm the pilot. sorta helps, and shake your legs it removes some of the shaking feeling.

I think you should talk about or share your knowledge about the plane's safety because thats what makes people afraid of flying. What makes people scared is the lack of control on the flight. You cant do and see anything. And everything is in the pilots hands. What is above normal turbulence and when is the time that you dont need to panic. Do you get information about the flight from the cockpit. I am always scared to ask the flight attendant..especially when the flight is too BUMPY i dont know if they actually know whats happening out there. ALSO do flight attendants get scared too on a flight and when did this happen!! share that with us

I am a very nervous flyer, and as I get older, it gets worse. It's strange because I've flown a lot, and I've flown many times to Asia which is a heck of a long flight! I've used many of these tips. I have to sit in the aisle because I'm afraid of heights, and looking out the window freaks me out. The other part that I hate is the noises that planes make, especially when taking off. The noises are different every time. I distract myself with loud music or a TV show on my phone. I also hate how the plane feels when it has to decelerate a bit from the take off speed. It feels like the plane is braking mid-air, and it makes my stomach turn. I hate planes (even though I work for Boeing 🤦). It doesn't keep me from traveling though. I just have to learn to cope.

For example, a lot of people don’t understand what turbulence is and they see it as dangerous. Getting them to understand that air is fluid and constantly changing goes a long way to helping them work with turbulence...once they understand that turbulence is similar to the ocean waves or a bumpy road it's a lot easier for them to stay calm and rational. Also, don't watch movies or documentaries about plane crashes because they give you a lot to imagine lol.

I commented on this video talking about my fear of flying and while I didn't mention turbulence, it is one of the bigger factors of my fear. The only place I ever fly too is bad for turbulence when trying to land (it's usually very windy at their airport). I have educated myself before on what turbulence hoping it would help but it didn't haha. I start off mentally reassuring myself but when we hit turbulence and I see the look on someone else's face I get scared again lol (yes I've tried to wear an eye mask but I couldn't keep it on. Yes I'm weird, I know).

My fear of flying started when a 747 I was on had several tires blow out when we were accelerating for take off 40 years ago in Hawaii. The massive vibration, overhead bins opening and things flying out left a metal scar that lasted a long time. I eventually got over it but I still hated flying with turbulence. My solution was putting on my earbuds with a song with a heavy beat to it (rock, disco), play it loud and when the turbulence gets real bad and lift my feet off the floor for a few seconds at a time. I also close my eyes and imaging I'm at a disco, lol. That fixed it for me.

I am still fear of the airplane not because of heights but because of the noises that the airplane make but putting music on my distraction helps me finally to relax a little.

It’s been several years since I’ve been on a flight now, due to severe fear of flying. I used to talk to the flight attendants and my favourite question to ask them was usually how many years had they been doing this job, and then how many times had anything gone wrong. It helped me to rationalise things slightly. I’m hoping to do a flight next year, it would be transatlantic to visit Orlando from the uk. I feel like this fear has really made me miss out on a lot but it really does completely take over all logical thought. Any advice to get myself in that plane next year would be hugely appreciated.

But now this fall, I'm going to take my longest flight ever - from the East Coast to Paris. I'm extremely nervous about it. So thank you for this advice and for being so upbeat about flying. One of the things that helps me the most is finding a passenger next to me who is willing to chat. When you are talking to someone, the time passes more quickly and it just makes what for me is an abnormal experience feel more normal.

I’m a very nervous flyer.

But arriving 3 hours before makes me feel better because I can focus on staying calm - avoiding any other anxiety inducing triggers (time to download my movies, plan out what I’ll do hour by hour on the plane). I also do speak with the flight attendant. That started the past few flights and 8/10 are fairly nice, and that grounds me. Sitting in the aisle is totally a new rule and i can 100% say that would totally help me. Just having that liberty to get up when I want without thinking of disturbing someone helps me keep my adrenaline leveled to get up and walk to the bathroom and shake out the nervousness.

as someone who has a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY bad fear of flying, i have some tips that help me… 1. if you think something bad is happening, like there’s bumps or the engine is making a weird noise, try to look around at the crew or other people, if they don’t looked panicked, there’s probably nothing going on. 2. if your afraid of turbulence, (my biggest fear when flying) know that planes are designed to go through the worst of the worst turbulence ever! like REALLY bad turbulence, the pilot isn’t losing control, because did you know NO commercial plane is history has EVER crashed because of turbulence. it’s just uncomfortable. 3. i’m always worried about engines too, a plane can run totally fine with only 1 engine, and can even run with none, it should have enough power to make an emergency landing. this is INCREDIBLY rare to happen though. 4. i always find it hard to breath when i’m on a plane, i just get so stressed, try to just let go. i’m always squeezing my moms hand, just chill out, like when your in your bed, you aren’t squishing your muscles, your relaxing, just relax and take deep breaths, the pilot knows what he/she’s doing, they’ve been professionally trained. i hope this helps!!!!

I used to hate flying but now I fly frequently for work and I've gotten to the point where I love it--I think a lot of the fear comes from it being unfamiliar, the more I've flown, the more I've enjoyed it because I'm now accustomed to all the feelings, sounds, etc. I 100% agree with the distraction suggestion--that was my go-to move before I got used to flying. Also, as counter-intuitive as it sounds, the more I watch Air Disasters, the safer I feel because they show what the investigations of various incidents have found and what changes have been made as a result to ensure similar incidents don't occur again in the future.

What works for me: I think about all the flight attendants that fly for a living and say to myself, if they are doing this on a regular basis , how bad can it be to just take one or two plane trips a year as a regular person? I just keep thinking, if thousands of flight attendants can do this daily with no issue, it can't be that bad. If I start to feel nervous in flight, especially during turbulence, I just look over at a flight attendant if they are in the aisle, if they look totally calm and like nothing is happening, it makes me feel better.

I am 63 so if I have not gotten over it by now, I don't think I ever will. I just asked my Dr. for some relaxant pills for my next "must do" trip. I would rather be in a car for days driving, than to get on a 2 or 3-hour flight. I know it is crazy but I am so relaxed about driving and so fearful about flying. No, I can't sleep at all, I can barely eat anything, and I can't keep my mind on any entertainment for distraction. Honestly, a root canal is easier for me to go through than a flight.

I'm a pilot who's afraid of driving. No joke. I don't even have a driver's licence. I bike to the airport whenever I can. I had to take a cab on the freeway the other day and it was terrifying. 60 mph is more than fast enough to kill a person, and the recklessness and distraction and just sheer numbers of people on the road is more than unsettling. Then you look at the statistics... I've seen the sorts of injuries people get in car crashes. If you die in a plane crash at least it's almost certain to be instantaneous. Not so much with car crashes- you get people trapped and mutilated in wrecked cars, I've heard of people burning to death because they were trapped in their car after an accident and couldn't get out. Then there's the fact that people drink and drive all the time and get away with it... To be a pilot takes extensive training and studying and evaluation- any idiot can get a driver's licence. I'd take a plane over a car any day of the week.

Funny thing is that when I was younger, I was REALLY excited to go flying especially during my first time. I remember the sense of awe and wonder I was feeling when we were thundering down the runaway and took off while I was looking out the window to see all of the city getting smaller and smaller. But then I got older, and then watched Air Crash Investigation. That show literally gave me my fear of flying. Since then, whenever I go flying, I always have these constant thoughts of the "what if" scenarios like "What if there was technical malfunction?, What if the technicians got lazy and cut corners on repairs?, What if there was huge thunderstorm appearing suddenly?, Are we flying over an active warzone with SAMs aimed at the sky?. These thoughts made me real nervous that even a simple turbulence would make my heart rate go up.

You guys I was so anxious for this trip especially since there was a layover both ways, but I just put in headphones, closed my eyes, leaned my head back, and counted my breathing. By the third take off I wasn't terrified anymore.

I also recommend to fly aircrafts that has 4 engines 🤣 like the Queen of the skies B747 or the majestic A380. I dunno but it just calms me if the aircraft's big. It feels much more safer lol.

With some of my clients I spend years working on their specific phobias (like aviophobia) and with others it’s a matter of a few sessions. One is certain, many of us can’t even imagine how tough it can be to have to fly with aviophobia

I have a big fear of flying, I’ve never done it and it has kept me from traveling. 😢 I also have a fear of driving. I appreciate you telling me this. I need to stop letting fear stop me. 😊

I’ve been an avid traveler my entire life, and 4 years ago I got a sudden panic attack on the plane. I used oxygen and everything. I haven’t traveled since, and my grandma is sick and I need to visit her. I’ll be going on a plane again for the first time in 4 years and I’m nervous as hell but also excited to see family and have my boyfriend finally see where I’m from and meet my family. I also have medication to help me and our flight there is at night so hopefully I can sleep

Isn’t weird I don’t feel nervous when take off & landing. I feel like help is available if stn goes wrong....but at high altitudes no external help ... I fly sometimes but don’t feel excited about it I wish I could avoid, I always think of possibility of dying... I always wonder how the crew do fly for living. I wish I had brave heart

Same. I don’t really mind take off because we aren’t up super high yet and landing is a relief for me because we will be on the ground soon.

LiLi M crashes happen most frequently while you’re taking off or landing. When you’re in the air you’re okay. That’s what keeps me hopeful lol. Plus if you crash during takeoff/landing it won’t be bad because as said before, you’re not high off the ground yet. This thought keeps me less anxious
