Should I be scared of flying for the first time ever?

First time flying and scared to death!!!?

  • I'm 43 years old and flying for the very first time ever! I know u can't use cell phones on planes but I have airplane mode on my phone. If I have airplane mode on can I still listen to my music I have on my phone? And any suggestions for a first time flyer who is scared to death? Lol

  • Answer:

    You can't have your phone on during takeoff or landing, but during the flight you can have it on plane mode and listen to music. Airplanes are a very safe mode of transportation. You have a much higher chance of getting injured or killed driving on the free-way (or even sitting in your own home) than flying in an airplane. By the data, there is a 99.99999771% chance that your flight will arrive without trouble. Lots of people are scared to fly, but the fact is, the chances of anything going wrong in an aircraft are virtually zero. If a friend or family member is traveling with you, hold their hand tightly. It can be a source of comfort to you. Do not panic because it makes things worse. Do not think about how high you are in the air because you will start panicking. Do not say or think that the plane is going to crash. Think of your destination! Remind yourself why the plane is taking off and that if it doesn't, you won't get there. Perfect incentive. Good luck, I hope you have a nice flight & trip! :3 ~Gwen

Yeah you can still listen to the music if you have it on flight mode. My recommendation for your anxiety? Go to the doctor, explain your fears and score some happy pills. It'll make the trip a breeze : D

Airplane mode is only for calls maa'm, and it does not effects any other application in your phone, except communicating applications

Why are you scared and what are you scared of? It is hard to answer your question without knowing details. Is it the flight itself, navigating through the airport, arrival in an unknown city? Who knows. By the way, flying is the safest form of transportation. The most dangerous part of the trip will be driving to the airport, and yet you probably get in a car every day without even thinking about it. Good luck on your flight; just relax and enjoy it. Yes, you can listen to your music once the aircraft is above 10,000 feet; the flight attendant or pilot will make an announcement when you can use electronic devices.
