For those who are afraid, some tips can be quite useful to relax and enjoy the trip.
If for some people traveling by plane is an easy task, for others it means hours of tension and nervousness, before and during the flight. For those who are afraid, some tips can be very useful to relax and enjoy the trip.
According to the Marketing Specialist, Luciana Marques, for those who are afraid to travel by plane, a tip is to research and read articles and journalistic reports that show that this is one of the safest means of transportation. There are studies showing that the probability of an airplane accident is one in every 1.2 million flights. Deaths on the roads, with motorized vehicles (cars, motorcycles, trucks), occur at the rate of one in every five thousand accidents. "Trying to absorb the idea that flying is a natural task can help reduce fear. After all, pilots and flight attendants do it every day", she emphasized.
Luciana says that, in order not to get anxious about the trip and suffer because of it, a good tip is to organize the details in advance. This way, it is possible to have a good night's sleep before the day of the flight, and not be worried during the trip, thinking about a hotel, car rental, among other arrangements.
When you are on the plane, the recommendation is to try to feel as comfortable as possible. To do this, the tip is to adjust the air conditioning, drink water, start reading a book or magazine. For those who are afraid, sleeping during a flight is not easy. So it's worth consulting a doctor beforehand and checking the possibility of taking some kind of relaxant, especially on long trips.
According to Luciana, another tip for those who don't like to travel by plane is to opt for flights during the day. "The sunlight helps to reduce the feeling of being in a closed environment," she said.
Making friends with other passengers and chatting during the flight is also a way to distract yourself and forget your fear. Luciana recommends that the passenger prepare a playlist, with songs that leave you relaxed.
For passengers who have motion sickness problems during the flight, the tips are to drink water, chew gum, eat light food before the trip, breathe deeply and even take medicine to avoid discomfort.
