How can I make air travel enjoyable?

5o_fanatic asked:


Allow me to say that I have never flown before. This summer I am going to face one of my fears,flying. I’m going to fly to Las Vegas from Cleveland,Ohio. I am clueless on anything I have to do to pull this off, from booking a flight to baggage check-in to just plain surviving this at all. Anyone have any tips for me? Thanks

Harry

   just this week I have experienced flying for the first time, and I have had a major fear or flying but I am somewhat ok with it now
   some tips that might help which helped me
   -be prepard that the sensation of gravity will change when taking off and landing.
   -you might experience turbulance by don’t worry just sit and keep your seat belt on it will eventually pass
   -if you can read something or watch something or listen to something
   –don’t be scared to look out the window its actually kind of nice
   -if you feel overwhelmed or sick before leaving maybe visit your pharmacy to be advised on maybe some calming tablets, I took some called travelcalm it has ginger in it which helped me relax -don’t be scared to get up and stretch your legs

   Flying is amazing, don’t worry about anything going wrong because it honestly won’t.

   Take some lollies on with you so you keep swallowing during take off and landing, having your ears pop is pretty much the worst thing that can happen on a plane.

   If you are really scared then watch a movie, fall asleep or find some way to relax yourself.. what do you do in your spare time? If you listen to music do that. Something your body is used to.

   Turbulence is normal, planes are built to cope with turbulence and pilots are trained to fly through it with ease. It doesn’t last very long, and just keep reminding yourself that the flight will not last forever and before you know it, it will all be over (thats what I tell myself at the dentist)

   Enjoy yourself, I was scared of flying when it was my first time. Now I love it!

   Dont be scared. There are many more car crashes than plane crashes so dont be afraid of crashing.

   Shop around for the best deal on planes

   On the plane just listen to music play a video game or read a book.

   Try to get an aisle seat or exit row.

   And make sure you dont leave anything on the plane you will never be able to get it back. Never put anything in the seat back pocket many ppl leave stuff in it.

   By food/drinks after security and good luck
