I'm a 37 year old woman but flying makes me feel like a scared child
Going to the airport hotel this afternoon as flight is at 5.20 am tomorrow
Last night didn't sleep the best and tonight I won't sleep at all I bet
I'm shaking and that awful feeling of dread
I love love holidays and I'm okay once I'm at 37,000 ft it's just getting up there
I'm meeting my husband at the airport as he is at work so I'm home till about 2pm stewing on if all
Weirdly I'm not scared of crashing (as I know it's safer than a car )
It's just I'm terrified of the lack of control and feeling ill on the plane
Just want some nice people to say il be okay
This time tomorrow I will be nearly there and I can relax but today will be horrible

What time can I open a can of pre mix gin ?
Asking for a friend ha

Yes, you will be ok. The pilots are highly trained and in control (so you don’t need to worry about not being in control) and they are also highly motivated to have an easy day at work and then go home. One gin is probably good to get you off to sleep. Don’t turn up at 5.20am pissed or hungover though, as neither of those states will improve your flying experience.

You will absolutely fine op.
It's ok to be nervous but the staff are very well trained. Take some calming music to listen to, shit your eyes for take off and you will be in the air in no time at all xx

@Soproudoflionesses that typo is brilliant.

OP you will be fine - enjoy your trip.
