We know that fear of flying is completely normal. But if you want to conquer new countries and cities, you need to get rid of this fear! Take action!

  1. Know that modern airplanes are designed to be as safe as possible.
  2. Apply relaxation and meditation techniques before flying. Practice deep breathing. The main thing is not to fall asleep right before the flight.
  3. Think of a phrase that helps you relax. For example: “But I do not take the subway to the office”.
  4. Start knitting or coloring an adult coloring book. No turbulence is scary when you’re busy with a masterpiece!
  5. Create a “flight playlist.” Pick tracks that inspire you and lift your spirits. The flight will go smoothly with your favorite music!
  6. Visualize: During the flight, close your eyes and imagine yourself landing in a beautiful place. Visualize yourself enjoying the delicious food and new culture.
  7. Communicating with other passengers: Start a conversation with your neighbor. Chatting with strangers often helps take your mind off your fear, and you’ll be able to swap interesting travel stories. Who knows, maybe your neighbor will turn out to be a real traveler with unusual tips!
  8. Reward yourself: Plan something nice to do when you get off the plane – a delicious meal at a local restaurant, a massage, or an excursion. Knowing that something wonderful awaits you upon landing will make the flight less intimidating!

Remember, every new flight is a step towards new adventures and discoveries!
