Hi warkie

I completely understand wheee you are coming from, I don’t like flying but I did it last year and I was so scared I nearly turned bak wen I was getting on the coach thing to the plane, but what I did was download an app off relaxation music put my headphones in and I was fine, are u flying out on your own or with somebody x

O yes, completely understand. I am flying home for Christmas today evening and I am also scared. I always get pannick attack on the airport, but then it always passes after 15 or 20 minutes and I always reach my destination. I keep telling myself it doesn't matter if I get pannicky on the airport, in the aeroplane or at home, it is still the same pannick and the same anxiety. It comes and goes . It is really hard but definitely possible to survive. Good luck 😀

Wear loose fitting clothes. Don’t drink alcohol on the flight. Advise the check-in and cabin crew you are anxious, they can help.
