Flying

[TiggerLove101]

hey everyone. my trip to disney is on july 15th and i live in massachusetts, and we have to fly. the problem is i have the biggest phobia of flying everrrrr and my parents wont give me a sleeping pill.

we're flying Jet Blue and i know they have TVs on the seats so i suyppose that might clear my mind a little, but any suggestions to help keep me busy or stories to let me know that we wont crash?

thanks

I'm from Massachusetts and go to school in Indiana so I have a lot of flying during the year. I am not a huge fan of flying so I bring a book to read, SLEEP, and sit in an aisle seat because i can see the flight attendants which calms me down a lot.

Portable CD players are great for taking your mind off the flight. Books, magazines, FOOD hehe!!!!

The films they show are usually cool too!!!

Dont worry - I also really hate flying, my doctor has given me triasipam but I have been told not to take it as taking sleeping tabs while on a plane can be dangerous. I am flying to NY next week by myself which is a 9hr flight!!!!

Do some breathing excercises - they are always good. And remember you are more likely to be killed in your own home than in a plane (that may not be useful but stats like that really help me realise how safe it is).

Hope it goes okay

Why not just bring a picture of Johnny and stare at him....that would keep anyones attention!!!



Definatly bring music, or try to sleep. You go in a car all the time, and it's more likely to crash in a car, than crash in a plane, and I bet you don't even think about getting in a car! You'll be fine, I'm sure!! Have a great trip!

I am unlike you, I LOVE to fly. Usually I spend most of the flight just looking out the window! If you are afraid to fly, then definitely do not sit near a window. Like others have suggested beofre me, try sleeping, reading a book, etc. And yes, getting in a car is more dangerous then flying in a plane as a lot more can happen while you're driving, just remember that. Also, on the flight down to Florida it might be good to keep remembering that in just a few hours' time you'll in WDW!

Take deep breaths, bring lots of candy, bring a picture of Johnny
and stare at it, take more deep breaths, remember: the pilots KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING, eat more candy, give you're mom a hug, take a tootsie roll and eat it, MABEY take a peek out the window...MABEY, take a deep breath.

From MA, It's probibly 3 hours?

Eat more candy, take a deep breath, look at Johnny...


And, you might be able to talk to the pilot before/after the flight...


DO IT!

Don't worry, I know exactly how you feel. I have a TERRIBLE fear of planes, I got so anxious last time, my parents are offering me to bring a relax pill, so I won't get one of my famous anxiety attacks. But, if you want to clear your mind, pretend you're in a car: bring some bubble gum, bring a book, if you like to draw bring some stuff to draw with, listen to some music, or bring a Gameboy. That's what me and my brothers do anyway ^_^ Hope that helped
