nerves before flying<\/h2>\n<p>Flying can be stressful for many people, but there are several strategies you can use to help calm your nerves before a flight.<\/p>\n<p>Here are ten tips to calm flying anxiety and help you enjoy your flight rather than fear it.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3>Prepare ahead of time<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Research your flight so that you know your flight details, complete any pre-flight information in advance, have your passport\/ID, and know the airport layout.<\/p>\n<p>Familiarity is an important factor in knowing how to calm anxiety about flying.<\/p>\n<p>There are some great checklists for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.comparethemarket.com\/travel-insurance\/content\/holiday-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">holiday packing<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelperk.com\/uk\/blog\/the-business-travellers-checklist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">business trip packing<\/a> on the internet.<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3>Pack in advance<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Ensure you have everything you need and avoid last-minute packing to reduce stress.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing what size and weight of baggage you can check into the hold and carry onto the plane will avoid any last-minute panics at the check-in desk and ensure you stay calm rather than having to know how to calm down before flying.<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3>Practice deep breathing<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Deep breathing exercises and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/mindfulness\/\">mindfulness<\/a> can help calm your nervous system.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a useful tool for everyday life let alone something you feel you have to learn just to know how to calm anxiety before flying.<\/p>\n<p>The simplest of breathing exercises can help, for example, try inhaling deeply for four seconds, holding your breath for seven seconds, and exhaling slowly for eight seconds (it\u2019s called the 4-7-8 technique).<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3>Stay hydrated and eat well<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Dehydration and hunger can exacerbate anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>Before you fly, drink plenty of water and have a light, healthy meal.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a good idea to limit caffeine and alcohol as caffeine can increase anxiety, and alcohol can lead to dehydration and worsen anxiety. <br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h3>Listen to music or a podcast<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Create a playlist of your favourite calming music or download <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/podcasts\/#subscribe\">some interesting podcasts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Focusing on something enjoyable helps you avoid worrying about how to calm fear of flying.<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li>\n<h3>Use relaxation apps<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There are lots of apps designed to help with relaxation and anxiety, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.calm.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Calm<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headspace.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Headspace<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/mynoise.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MyNoise<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>These can provide guided meditations or calming sounds.<\/p>\n<p>Again, these are not just useful resources for knowing how to calm anxiety when flying but are great for use in everyday life and situations which might cause you to feel stressed.<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li>\n<h3>Be comfortable<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Wearing comfortable clothing can provide a fabulous sense of security rather than feeling uptight.<\/p>\n<p>Keeping your travel documents and paperwork to hand in a comfortable piece of hand luggage will also help you stay cool rather than getting anxious about flying as you approach the airport.<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li>\n<h3>Arrive early<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Give yourself plenty of time to get through security and to your gate without rushing. This reduces the stress of feeling pressed for time.<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li>\n<h3>Stay positive<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Focus on the positive aspects of your trip, such as the destination or the purpose of your travel.<\/p>\n<p>Visualise a smooth flight and a successful trip.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the kindness and courtesy of the cabin crew.<\/p>\n<p>If you let them know that you\u2019re a nervous flyer \u2013 they\u2019ll be sure to give you extra special attention.<br \/><\/br><\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li>\n<h3>Consider professional help<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If
