I have a lot of anxiety about flying. What can I do to make flying more comfortable?

Try to stay hydrated and avoid caffeine and alcohol before you fly. 2 Make sure you are well rested the night before your flight. 3 Bring along some snacks and drinks that don't need refrigeration, such as granola bars or dried fruit. 4 Wear loose-fitting clothing and shoes so that you can easily move around during takeoff and landing. 5 Talk to your doctor if you're concerned about your anxiety; they may be able to suggest medications or other treatments. 6 Take deep breaths and focus on relaxing your body. 7 Ask for help from flight attendants and crew members if needed. 8 If possible, try to book an earlier flight with fewer people onboard, which will likely result in smoother travel.
