Just find someone on your flight and let the person know you are a first time flier. Believe me, quite a number of people do that. People are quite willing to go out of their way to guide and make the trip comfortable.

Luckily for me, my first time then was with my former boss. I just did all he did. I gave the guy close marking. The funny bit was when they asked me to remove my belt.

Since then, i've had quite a few people tell me they are first time fliers. And i am not even a regular flier. I fear travelling by any means whatsoever especially road when i am not the one driving.

Just relax. Take off and landing may scare you especially landing as the gears touch the tarmac. It may be bumpy but depends on the experience of the pilot. You may experience turbulence mid air but no wahala. It will be a good ride.

If getting on a plane would give you more satisfaction than throwing a live rat to a cat, then by all means, get on one and accept my warmest congratulations. Hopefully that may at least stop you from gambling, womanizing, drinking, and fighting.

Bro, I just tire for these people o. Commercial planes are not even designed for luxury, which is why some people opt for private planes or first class. I can't even express how much I get tired for sitting for so long on those flights. I neither find it convenient nor enjoyable.

It comes with both excitement and anxiety.

Scariest part for some is take-off while landing is usually fun.

I'm a frequent flyer yet still have phobia for flying. Wish I have a reasonable alternative cry

Just be calm and enjoy the experience.

N.B Don't be shy to ask Airline staff questions if you need help.
Me n u dey d same boat.
Tot I'd be comfortable in flights by now but na constant terror up till today.
Be like e worse now sef.
Maybe I was destined 2 be a village farmer lipsrsealed

Ah...baba na just air travel nah. Travelling by air is not luxury nah. Not like he is flying first class. She na so ur sapa reach? grin

Don't worry, we will all be fine, so far as you don't quit.

And hope you are not BMC, cos those ones their blessings has been suspended till further notice.
Re: I Am Traveling By Air For The First Time by Alex80s(m): 9:50am On Oct 03, 2021
Check your seat number on your ticket carefully so that someone won't tell you to stand up. They are labeled for easy recognition.

The first time I boarded a flight , people new it was my first time. I went and sat on someone's seat... I felt bad.

Put on your seatbelt.
Don't shout :Jesus!!!!! Allah!!! anyhow, if your flight experiences turbulence. Calm down, it's normal.

Don't wear too many metals.
Carry a portable bag. If you can't put it on the cabin, tell a hostess to help you.
You will switch off your phone before take off.

Just smartly watch how other passengers do everything...

Safe trip

Takeoff is scary but you will feel good when the plane balances , some pilot run too fast so when they start seeing the airport they tend to drop the plane to quickly to meet landing that will also scare you .

Just try and use the lift this week .1st floor to 5ft floor that's how you feel when landing and take off

Buy chewing gum or hold a bottle of water as you may need to be swallowing saliva to keep your ears open immediately you hear the crew say fasten your seatbelts as we are about to start descending, you may suffer Tinnitus (a whistling sound in your ears as if your head wants to burst) as a first time flyer which can even cause you headache as the cabin gets highly compressed and pressurized.
This is done to balance gravitational forces as the plane descends to protect passengers and crew from hypoxia.
Have a safe flight!

So apt…..

Please if I may ask, are you an aviator or an ardent flyer?

Get to the airport atleast an hour or two before the flight time. Ensure you have a valid means of identification for your checking process. When you board, ask the hostess or any passenger to assist with the seat belt. Relax and don't be nervous and just enjoy your flight.

Be ready be to have butterflies swim through your belly at takeoff.
First 5 seconds off ground, gravity will pull you all through.

All the riches, mansions, estates people ckm to have built and brag about will be like specks of dust in ur view... You will have an idea how God sees us from up there.

Safe flight.
