So, let me tell you I do not fly well, I mean that I hate to fly. Confused yet? I know I love to travel but I have a huge fear of heights and seeing/feeling myself go up and down in the plane is the worst of it. I have many friends ask me how I cope then, how do I calm myself down well it's simple, prep work is key! I know what affects me now, so this is what I do ;
pre download my choice of movies - Christmas with the cranks was a winner on my last flight to Florida
A fan for fresh air
comfortable clothing choice - I did not do that the first time ( high-rise jeans)
a good travel buddy ( ie. My sister)
The first time I flew it was from Montréal to Orlando Florida which went off horribly, I honestly mean that! Let me lay it out for you, it's my first flight I am nervours to the point the night before I had a full panic attacck and cried. Trying to put that behind me, I set out on my journey, now I'm like a horse full blinders as in i am walking and getting to my seat asap, I don't want to have any hesitation! I notice the size of the plane and instantly panic, my heart is beating like a jumping bean and I am nervous , the stewartest shows me my seat, I get there and try to manage to place my suitcase in the overhead capartment and fail miserable! This man behind me, who is now becoming impatinet shoves me becasue me needs to use the washroom!
That was the moment............
it all came to surface I was in shock, full blown panic attack again, I left my carry on suitcase on the floor where it fell, I was bursting crying, and not loud crying nope just plane ole' ugly crying. I knew I needed help , my sister luckily enough was there for me I wasn't the easiest person to travel with, I was so frustrated and scared all at once. Then in true fashion as a plus size person I needed the extender, as did my sister however she didn't mind but it was just another thing that went wrong in my head! We faced turbulence the entire way there , 3.5 hours and back which is why I say my first flight was horrible!!!!! hahaha fast forward to what may be the only way I travel in the future!!!
