First: you're not broken.
1 in 3 adults feels anxiety about flying. What you're feeling right now — the racing heart, the knots in your stomach, the thoughts that won't stop — that's your nervous system doing its job. It's uncomfortable. It's not dangerous.
"Uncomfortable is not unsafe."
You don't need to understand aviation tonight. You don't need a 12-page deep-dive. You need someone to hand you a plan and say: follow these steps.
Here's what you do tonight.
Three things. That's it. The guide walks you through each one.
Open the Checklist
Step-by-step actions from right now through landing. Each step is one clear thing. No thinking required.

Know the sounds
Every ding, thump, and engine change explained. Save the sounds card to your phone so you're ready during the flight.
You're not the only one awake right now.
Real words from people who've felt exactly what you're feeling tonight.
"I have knots in my stomach and severe anxiety."
"I am so anxious that I could throw up."
"This morning I made it to my gate but started having a panic attack and got out of line for boarding."
"I had a panic attack last night getting ready to leave for the airport."
Every one of these people got on the plane. Most of them said the same thing afterward: "I wish I'd had a plan."
Your plan, step by step.
