I wasn’t sure where to post this, but since flying (or even the thought of flying) seems to trigger my HA (main reason being I’ll become deathly ill on flight and will be unable to get med help in time), I thought I’d post in the HA forum.

I will be turning 40 in about 17 months. I would love to take an extended Alaskan cruise. But I live in the Midwest of US so will really need to fly to Seattle to meet the boat. Even being 17 months away, thinking about flying gives me the butterflies. Closer we get to time it’s only going to get worse. I have flown before but it’s been many years - and only once since 9/11.

If any of you HA people are scared to fly but have overcome it, can you give me any tips/pointers?? I feel like my hubby would LOVE it if I could get over this irrational fear. Thank you so much
