I have to fly frequently for work and pleasure. I have suffered from flight-related anxiety for decades. Its severity fluctuates based on a number of arbitrary factors. When I have particularly acute episodes, I take klonopin. What you must recall is that your anxiety is fundamentally irrational. Commercial airline crashes do happen, but they are extraordinarily improbable. Imagine in your minds eye all of the airliners racing across the globe right now, at this very instant. Will they all crash? No. Will even one? Highly, extremely, meteorically unlikely. Now of all those planes safely flying all over the globe today, will yours be the one to crash? Vanishingly improbable. You could fly every day for your entire life and never come close to a fatal incident. You will experience psychological discomfort, but your plane will land safely and you will move on with your life.

I like 'em both, but not together.
There's a bunch of candyasses in this thread.

How do you deal with the pre-flight anxiety?

The difference is if the truck breaks down, you’ll probably live. If the plane breaks down, not so much.

Yeah. But you get killed in a truck when working just fine. At a much higher rate than airplane deaths
Posted on 4/7/24 at 9:25 pm to JasonDBlaha
Made it safely. Thanks.

At least that would be mostly instantaneous. On a plane you have lots of time before smash down.

This stuff happens all the time. Just newsworthy at the moment.

I'll be flying next month. I do not intend to be sober on takeoff.
I fly sober, with long pants, long sleeve shirt, (natural fibers that won't melt in a fire) durable footwear and one or two innocent looking items on my person I can use as an improvised weapon.
