Rec'd on ✈️ HOW TO DEAL WITH FLIGHT ANXIETY

HEADPHONES, WATER, AND DOWNLOADED ENTERTAINMENT.

I’ve never been on a flight that long, but I have been on a lot of flights. Headphones - I bring 2 pairs because eventually they start to hurt my ears and my airpods have a bad battery life. But listening to my fav songs has def helped me get more comfy. Water - even when I don’t think I need it. Sometimes I’ll start to feel sick and I get freaked out that I’ll throw up on the plane. But then I remember to drink water and suddenly I’m healed lolllll Downloaded entertainment - movies. tv shows. books. games that don’t require WiFi. I rotate between puzzle games. Just remember - more flights have been safe and successful than not. Wear comfy clothes. And update us on how it went :)

anti nausea meds, audiobooks, no drinks before the plane

I take Dramamine to calm down and avoid any motion sickness, audiobooks bc my eyes can’t really focus well when I’m staring down on a plane, I used to really love airport bars but since I stopped drinking I noticed the ear drum pressure I had associated with planes was with being very tipsy on a flight so don’t do that

taking in-flight movie selection very seriously

While everyone else is mucking about trying to board the plane, I am locked in. I have the notes app out on my phone. I’m scrolling through A - Z and jotting down which titles stand out to me. I’m looking at runtimes to try to puzzle piece together the maximum the number of entire films I can watch. Not only is this a great way to find and watch movies you may never have thought to, but it also distracts from flight anxiety.

Planes

I like to raw dog a flight with no media or accessories. No music book or pen, just tunneling thru air with my demons. I’m not sure where else you can find such a curated experience. I used to feel concerned about the environmental impact of flying but then I decided that the plane would get to where it was going whether or not i was on it. I find traveling necessary for personal enrichment and art making. I find that when I go to a new place I come home a little bit wiser and kinder. I always have gum on the plane and everyone can have some. I love eating the little airplane meals like I’m in kindergarten, I love the pink lights and cold clean air.
