My friend is terrified of planes and the last trip we went on she had a panic attack. Thank you so much for telling me how to help her overcome that fear!

Glad to help, Bola! I wonder how many of us travel bloggers are fearful flyers…

I really love this post because in as much as I enjoy seeing different parts of the world, I’m a fearful flyer. Turbulence is what really puts me off! Your tips will help through my journeys. Thanks

I read somewhere that turbulence is getting worse on average and will continue to do so. Something to do with more planes in the air. One thing that helps me is thinking about the worst turbulence I’ve experienced, which makes what I’m feeling now seem not nearly as bad!

And yes, I feel the same way: it’s worth it for the travel!

It is still the best and fastest way to get to exotic destinations, so I’ll always fly to get to adventures!

Obviously I have managed to get over it but we still hold hands on every takeoff. Good advice, thanks.
