What It's Like to Fly in an Airplane 

Thanks for the encouragement! Makes me feel good knowing I’m probably not the only one on the flight that feels a bit antsy

same i’m getting on the plane next week and i’m already scared and anxious

@@tianaaa9320 I went on and I was terrified boarding but once we were in air it was not bad at all!! Get some ear plugs or noice canceling head phones and keep the window closed. Also if you are afraid of becoming nauseous take some Dramamine! I took some and it totally helped.

@@cocothekitty actually, it is better not to isolate yourself from outside stuff. Don't use ear plugs to "hide" (but use it to protect your hearing), face your fears instead. It is way harder, but you will get used to it due to the thing called "desensibilisation". Or just visit a good aviation psychologist.

Yes, we can, but better talk to a proper doctor. At least when you watch this, do it repeatedly - this way is goes away little by little. And subscribe to a good pilot's channel like maybe, Mentour.

Thank u because I’m terrified to go on

@@drea_theprettiest same gurl😬 i’m going tomorrow🤞🏻

Thanks katsuki

@@drea_theprettiest you can do it!! I fly in 3 days too but not be scared

I’m kinda late to this vid but I’m going on a plane later today and I’m kinda scared ngl

spy god Me, Me, ME!!

spy god yes lmao I’m going on a plane to Rome next year and have never been on a plane

KXNG GRUMP I have to take a 7 hour fight first and then a 5 or 6 hour one and then I have to take a 3 hour one and then there’s one in Rome and then there’s the way back

KXNG GRUMP lol thank, I can’t wait to go though

Me. An uncle passed away so we gotta make a quick trip from Pittsburgh to West Palm beach for his service. It's going to be a sad occasion and I'm terrified to fly, so I wouldn't say I'm thrilled about it, but I'm slightly excited about going on a trip. I just wish it was for a better reason.

This was genuinely such a good thought, and I appreciate you leaving this comment IMMENSELY!!

Do you remember this comment you typed

Omg thank yooooou! Im taking my first flight tomorrow and this really helps! 🩵

Its actually not when on a airplane

A random person It’s not that bad, it’s pretty fun because you can feel getting off the ground and getting lighter, kind of like a rollercoaster.

How

A random person IT IS

A random person its fun but a bit terrifying just a bit

Dominique Jenkins I grew up riding planes. Nothing bad has ever happened to me. Chances of something crazy happening are really slim so there is nothing to be fearful over. You can do it! :)

How did it go?

did you vlog it?

Dominique Jenkins did you die?

Hi, any tips for coping with turbulence? On the last flight it gave me a sever panic attack and I thought I was having a heart attack. Thanks.

​@@Monicalala turbulence is just like going on a bumpy road, the wings are meant to shake. Also, the plane will be fine unless there is hail, which is almost impossible and you wouldn't die too

So your now 16 right 😳

What was it that scared you? I’m 14 right now.

14 is late isn’t it?

My first flight in a week will be 14hrs

@@killagamez4619 How old are u?

taylorashwood how did you do with your anxiety? I’m flying to Hawaii soon too!

I have anxiety 2. I'm probably going to Washington d.c in 8th grade. I just going 2 pretend it is a roller coaster cause I love roller coasters. But yeah it's probably going 2 be my first time.

@@sallynavarro3156 Me goin in 7th. c: lol

I’m going to Cancun on a airplane

How'd everyone's flight go? I'd like to go to California but with my anxiety about heights and flying I'm grounded for the time being lol!

If you're scared you can always pray for your safety and have faith always that you'll be protected.

I'm glad that my video could help! Safe travels and have fun!!! :)

So, how did it go?

@@ok-qb8ir I don’t think he is ok

@@Clums_xx Maybe they don't get notifications for youtube comments :). You have to manually turn them on.

Wow I’m watching this because 4 days I’m going to greece

ejchallis It is my pleasure! :)

Natali L for me when we first take off my stomach feels a little weird like I'm on a roller coaster.. but that goes away pretty fast. Turbulence isn't as bad as you think.. it's never been bad for me and I've flown a lot. It just shakes a little sometimes but it's not constant

Natali L It exactly feels like the road-bumps from a rough car trip on the roof, the walls, and the floor.

Just keep swallowing and yawning to keep the pressure out of your ears, it’s like a long car ride you get a tingle, doesn’t hurt just feels weird :)

Natali L For different people its different experiences. Turbulence is when the plane flies through unstable air, and it causes the plane to lightly shake. Although its scary it is in NO way dangerous. Now taking off. When the plane reaches the runway it speeds up in order to get the plane airborne. That for me is a satisfying feeling. You will feel the plane speed up but when you takeoff its smooth sailing.

Natali L it's fun

That's really too bad :/

I have a flight tomorrow from Florida to Missouri 😂 small world. Super excited though, first flight

RockyWild Aj same... ;-;

Hi im from lithuania im living in england and for me it is way worse than lithuania i just want to live in lithuania because it’s so beautiful im going tomorrow about 3am

RockyWild AJ I live in Missouri and I never went anywhere else except Arkansas where my great great grandma and grandpa lived and we went to their house.

I’m flying from Australia to japan

Honestly New Hampshire ain’t so bad. But if you want to have a life then probably a good idea to see what the world has to offer outside of the rural woodland-mountains.

i flew constantly for 6 years straight and to be fair, there's nothing to be afraid of. its just like a bus journey. only in the air and with food

i’ve flown since i was 2 yrs old and trust me when i say it’s the most calming experience ever

100.000 times? That’s 1000 times more than I’ve been on a plane! Holy! Are you a pilot or what?

Weren’t you scared at 8 y old?

@@youtubeguckerghg4987 why would you be scared?

What were you scared of?

@@youtubeguckerghg4987 in the beginning I was anxious of course as anyone would be their first time, but afterwards I wasn't.

Yes, same here! Is there anyway to reduce the discomfort? :/

Try noise cancelling headphones. Wear them from the very start to the very end, dont put them off or turn them off. It helps me

Or maby try blowing out ur nose while u are holding ur nose

Kiwi.Emerald15 or maby try to yawn. It helps sometimes

@@SonicStar178 Claritin D. Take 1 30min before you take off and take 1 right after you land. You have to take Claritin D, not the regular Claritin. The decongestant takes the pressure off your ears. Best advise my doctor ever gave me!

Hayley Myers Defiantly take something to calm ur anxiety!

Hayley how did it go??? I am you, I am claustrophobic and terrified of heights. I want so badly to be able to fly someday but I feel like I never will

Aaaaand another fool without the courtesy of answering back afterward

This was exactly my main fear for my first time, the fact that you're so incredibly high up in a giant tube with literally nothing between your feet and the ground but open sky. It's terrifying if you get a panic attack up there because it's something you literally have no control over. You can only wait until the flight is over. I'm not trying to discourage you, apologies for giving that sort of tone. I just had the same experience and eventually did my first flight and it turned out good, if you did it excellent, if you still haven't there's really nothing to worry about honestly, once you're up there you won't think about it. 🙂

Did you make it?😳

Not sure. I'm honestly afraid of heights but I love roller coasters and airplanes. I think it feels different when I'm strapped in an official whatchamajiggy. However...if I'm walking and look over an edge.... I do not like it.... Or those videos of those parkour guys on top of high buildings. Uggghh I hate it. LOL

Don't get a window seat

I am scared of heights, and was terrified of flying after 9/11. My community was personally impacted by that event, and it made the tragedy feel a lot more "real" to me. Even though I had been a frequent flyer before, I then became terrified of flying. It took me a few years to overcome this. I did so by flying often. I know this sounds counter-intuitive, but I booked a flight everywhere I could. My undergrad and Masters degrees are both in psychology. So, I was trying to perform Exposure Therapy on myself, and it worked. Also, the suggestion of not getting a window seat wouldn't have been a good one for me. Oddly enough, seeing what's going on outside of the plane is extremely calming for me. I think many of us fear heights or flying due to a lack of control. When you can at least see what's going on outside of the plane, I think (even though we still have no control) it gives us a little bit of that back. So, in short ;) my advice is to fly often, and book a window seat, and if you can book a seat with a little extra room - even better!

Nebulous Girl Gamer see the view as a good thing and appreciate the fact that you’re in sufh a beautiful scenic environment

Nebulous Girl Gamer I know this soo late, but I am currently afraid of heights and have flown so many times. To be honest, I don’t feel as anxious as, for example on a roller coaster- it’s really not as bad as u might have been imagining 😅😅. It’s an amazing experience and once you’re in there, there’s not much you can do but just genuinely enjoy the BEAUTIFUL VIEW 🤩🤩

Agreed!

da part dat scares me is heights and my stomach dropping so dat aint good

Go for it! :) I have had teachers use this and other parents.

Glad that I could help!!!! It is very safe! :)

Mrs. Thomas my pleasure!!!! Enjoy. :)

RedJay Creations did she like it

I’m actually leaving New York today

rosenvitae thanks for the tip do your ears hurt when you fly

My ears don't hurt, no, but if you don't (or can't) alleviate the pressure somehow, I imagine it would hurt. I do both swallow or pinch my nose and blow air to manipulate the pressure in my ears (if I'm diving deep in water, blowing air like this counteracts the pressure of the water so it doesn't hurt).

+Old doge2905 Adryan Yes they do

I'm glad it helped. I also suffer from panic attacks but they don't have anything to do with flying.

Thank you! That's good. Enough to get you to and from where you need to go. :)

@@BlakeBlackstone Absolutely right!

Nuuuuu.

No problem! I am glad you enjoyed it!

:)

I am very soon how is it going on the plane because it looks scary as hell ._.

Ok >_

XxScorpioXx how was it lol

I'm glad that I could help! I would like to hear back from you about your first plane ride!

@@BlakeBlackstone I overheard my parents say once this coronavirus is over or gone we will take a flight like a vacation or something so now I'm happy and not scared and night is pretty

Lol oof

Hey buddy. I also have been suffering from panic attacks for 15 years. They are pretty much under control nowadays (without meds). I can understand your concerns. I remember being afraid to get a panic attack on the plane but I love flying so much and I guess there is so much going on that I never ended up having that problem. When I feel a panic attack coming on my main go-to's are drinking water and taking a bath. Maybe just try to prepare yourself with those things that help to pacify the feeling of an oncoming panic attack. Once you're in the seat and looking out the window, so much will be going on.

Flying for the first time as an adult is tough! One thing that helped me was noticing all the kids on the plane who have flown a lot be basically unphazed by everything including takeoff and landing.

Me too I am in the exact same boat . I’ve never been on an airplane but I am going on one for the first time in exactly a week from now . I am 23 and I’ve had panic attacks since 11 years ago . I am not afraid of the airplane crashing either I know the statistics and I know they are really safe. What I am sacred is getting a panic attack on an airplane and loosing control of myself . But I try and remember that in every panic attack I always calm down at the end , I think of all the panic attacks I’ve conquered and this one is no different! Do the same things you’ve always done to try and calm yourself . And go with someone don’t go alone if you have panic attacks . Just remember that you won’t die from a panic attack that’s what helps me , no one has died from one you will always be okay after the attack is over . Try and be okay with having a panic attack , it’s like a bad movie that won’t last long , it’s temporal . Yes they are scary but just know it’s a feeling . I tell myself it’s just a feeling it’s just in my head . But once my hands start cramping up it doesn’t feel so much in my head anymore and that’s when I tell myself it will pass it’s temporal and I think of the calm sensation I feel after it’s over

@@melissasapien3479 I wish you the best of luck! You got this! Take peace in knowing that the airline staff has come such a long way in helping people get passed a panic and they have never been more understanding. It’s a common thing they deal with EVERy flight! I wish ya the best!

Lesssgooooo!!!!

Yvonne Moore OMG IM GOING GREECE THIS YEAR ON OCTOBER

My seats always end up being next to the wing somehow.

Mia Forever mine too! I feel like no matter where about I’m sitting I’m always by a wing 😂

Thank you for sharing! I love planes.

Ayyy Disney flight gang!

No worries. I'm glad it could help!

Plane rides are very cool and exciting!

IMuradI what?

Yes.

I was 11 days old. I hear you

OMG sameee

Thank you. Never thought the video would reach so many people.

I’m going in 8 days

I'm going tomorrow

Enjoy!!!!

Anthony Enriquez I've never been on a plane my whole entire life

I am flying to Argentina in February! I am not scared but I have been on a plane in 2013 so literally 5 years ago😹

Same! But I'm just one year younger. Started at 5 month. How often have you been on a flight? And what was your longest?

Tai Williams Have fun! :D

I'm a Chicago native and trust me when I say that you are much safer flying than walking the street of Chicago especially at night. Although I don't live there no more, I still have family out there and they will say the same.

@@mercedeswilkins9085 yea chicago is not the safest

howd it go ?

My husband and I are going to Vegas sometime in the next year... I'm terrified to fly.

@@xJengie flying in the air is the easy part but take off and landing might make you nervous

My husband has flown before while in the Army. He loves it. I have severe anxiety and god... I've never flown and I've never been in a different time zone.

my sister died in a plane crash 8 years ago

The takeoff is really fun tbh. Just make sure to prepare yourself for the landing though, the air pressure is crazy. Otherwise it's really fun!

Bl K me too I’m going Tunisia in 24 days and it’s my birthday today 😆

@@amran300 OMG happy birthday from the bottom of my heart 💕 enjoy your trip, it's gonna be amazing 😍 this comment just made me so happy 🐱

xD

ketb320 um...... I know some people like to take Xanax before flights. I don't mess with that stuff. Obviously this is too late now and you have made it to yourdestination. I hope that the experience was not traumatic for you.

Lol people make such a big deal about flying. Taking xanax, really? I've never been on a plane, but from what I can tell, it's no big deal, whatsoever.

John people have anxiety about things like these, so they use pills like that to calm them self’s down

Nicola Berry i had a panic attack on a plane one year ago. i’ve been on a plane over 45 times in my life. not a problem until that panic attack. i’ve had 4 plane rides ever since, i’m still terrified after that experience.

I'll pretend it's a roller coaster!!!

Glad I could help! I started flying young too to go visit family in other states.
