JonnyCT81 Posted November 30, 2014 #76 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I just take 1 mg of Xanax, have a glass of red and pass out. Ask your doctor for a sedative or Xanax either will relax you so you don't get nervous. Best of luck :-) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnfcruise Posted November 30, 2014 #77 Share Posted November 30, 2014 For me, drinking alcohol before or during flights makes things worse. I get dehydrated, cranky, and end up with a hangover by the time the plane lands. Not a way I want to begin my cruise vacation. And I'd sure never take Ativan or another anxiety med and drink too. I don't want to "pass out"...I just want to be calm and enjoy the ride.☺️ Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K L B Posted December 1, 2014 #78 Share Posted December 1, 2014 My husband is a clinical hypnotherapist and has very successfully helped people manage their flying anxiety. You could also try a guided meditation with a pair of headphones while you fly. Works wonders for calming me! I highly recommend trying it if you haven't before.

germanyboy Posted December 1, 2014 #79 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I had a terrible fear of flying and my daughter won to trip from United States to Tasmania. I was worried I would get over there and not come back. I want to see a guided therapy hypnotist 5 times before our 17 flights. He gave me a cassette tape to listen to on the flights. Over the the years I've converted it to CD and now MP3 files. They are two 25 minute recordings. If you'd like it, email me jeraldcross@comcast.net and we'll make arrangements to get you a copy.

Oville Posted December 1, 2014 #80 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Hope this helps you out. Enjoy your cruise on the Equinox. She is an awesome ship. We did the same cruise in 2013 for 13 days and it was great. The link below has a section for the fear of flying that is really good. http://www.airsafenews.com/ Regards Ed Ed, did you notice the Op's question was for an Equinox cruise in Sept 2013? Unfortunately when people resurrect old threads we comment well after the fact.;):p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
