Plane Anxiety - Fear of Flying Forum

@2cold you need to put headphones in now!

My flight is in 8 hours and I am so scared I am just crying. I am panicking over labor day crowds (though my flight leaves at 6 a.m. please assure me that the airport won't be too crowded) and the possibility of turbulence. My flight is from Baltimore to Vegas and will take like 5 hours, then I take another from Vegas to El Paso. I am so scared I will just be crying in fear in the airport and looking like a complete idiot. I just feel like a lost, scared child.

Has anyone actually had success with hypnotherapy? I'm at my wits end. I had a 1hr flight to Europe a few weeks ago and made a complete fool of myself and embarrassed my husband and teenage son I fly very frequently, but the fear is getting worse. I've tried alcohol, meds, meditation, mindfulness and self-help books. It's horrendous!

Hi, I am sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but I'm flying in November with Brussels Airline. I am really scared what if they don't have seat belt extenders on those planes or what if it gets really overwhelming at the airport, and I would have to miss the tattoo conversation again, or I end up hiding in the bathroom also. The police lady person had to sit with me as I was crying.
I am terrified right now.

So here we are, less than a week from my trip to LA and I’m now in that weird stage where I’m looking for signs to not go. What if the fires have done something to the plane, what if the smoke makes it hard to take off or land, what if the tropical storm makes crazy turbulence on the way there. I try to put on a brave face for everyone, but I’m nervous as heck on the inside.

Has anyone on here ever been to the Charlotte airport what’s it like there is it easy to navigate around I fly there tomorrow for my first layover to my next plane I’ve never been there before

Random rotten/garbage/diarrhea smell suddenly fills our plane cabin. Smell is so strong in a certain area a couple of ladies move from their seats because it's so overwhelming and come chat (and dry-heave) with us about it. Flight attendant crews rush in and dump crushed crackers on the floor of about 4 rows seats where they believe the smell is coming from. Another attendant wipes top of cabin wit alcohol wipe. As if someone ripped an all-time fart and got away with no reveal
