1. Anticipatory
Anxiety is the number one issue with most fearful flyers. The only way to
overcome this is by gradually learning to feel more comfortable during flight,
so before hand, you will have less to worry about.
2. Don’t check the
weather more than 2 days out from your trip. This causes a large amount of anxiety should
the flyer see a percentage for rain or storms. The truth is, it is not that
accurate that far out anyway!
3. Pack a few days
early! Rushing around packing the night before while you are already anxious
will only fuel the fire.
4. Exercise, and avoid
caffeine. Exercising can help minimize the effects of anxiety, while caffeine
can increase the effects.
5. At the airport, the
TSA security check is an anxiety increaser, but not if you’re prepared. Take
off all jewelry, remove all items from pocket, take belt off, all prior to
getting in line. Put all of the items in your carry on, and this way, you’re
not rushing to remove everything while everyone behind you is waiting on you.
It’s the little things that alleviate stress!
