I went on a plane for the first time in January after 21 years.
I had so much pre flight anxiety and panic. I just closed my eyes and put my headphones in pretending it was a car. It was the most relaxing thinngs.









Then you realize... Your feet are not on ground.

A point that hasn't been mention but relevant to this reason is you can also slow down the evacuation. You may be responsible for the deaths of many other people just because you went to get your baggage from the overhead bins. Take Aeroflot Flight 1492 as an example, even though maybe not EVERYONE would have been able to evacuate, many more would have been able to if people didn't bother with their carry-ons. Look at the footage yourself, many people were walking out with stuff. 41 of 78 people died sadly.

I’m never scared when I’m in a plane, I’ve been on a plane atleast 7-8 times. I’m always exited to go to my family.
