Are You Afraid To Fly?

For the “ear popping/not popping” problem: my BIL bought some gadget earplugs that are SUPPOSED to help with ear clearing. He used it in his flight from CA to HI & said it was helpful & comfortable. It can be used for up to one round-trip it says. We’re not sure how it works but it has a tube in it.

I guess most of the folks I know have flown to get anywhere from HI, so we are all pretty used to it & most of us seem quite comfortable with it (or they just stay on our small island forever).

The woman with the prayer card in her purse might want to make a few xerox copies & put them on posterboard & laminate them, just to have spares.

I guess if I had the anxiety some of you have described, I’d seriously try something to relax me, perhaps a very small dose of Xanax. Some find antihistimes to be helpful for allergies & to make them drowsy so they can sleep more easily. Would always try it at home BEFORE trying it on any flight.
