A senior flight attendant recently shared his suggestions for flights, pointing out that for passengers who are prone to tightening on a flight, early morning flights are the best time to board a flight. When choosing a seat, if you choose a seat head or a seat near the wing, when encountering trouble, the swaying will be smaller than other locations, which will help reduce the inappropriateness of the flight process.
The flight attendant is Captain Chris, who runs the YouTube channel "Travel Tips by Laurie" with his wife Laurie, and often shares travel and aviation-related knowledge. Chris responded to a question from netizens in the latest episode of "Ask Flying Person" video, pointing out that early morning flights are usually less complicated due to lower temperatures and stable air. Especially in summer, people who are prone to nervousness on boarding flights can consider choosing early morning flights.
He further suggested that passengers can choose seats near the head of the machine or wing, because the area is less likely to feel the swaying movement of the aircraft and the side of the aircraft (yaw movement), and the tail of the machine is more likely to cause unsuitable due to the large penetration range. However, Chris also admitted that many airlines charge higher fees for seats near the front end of the motor vehicle, and passengers need to decide according to their own situation.
Chris said that if passengers are easily nervous about flying, they can also actively speak to the flight attendant when boarding, or even ask whether they can have a brief conversation with the pilot flight attendant. Most flight attendants will be willing to share the weather and expected bumps that day, which can help you feel more at ease about the journey.
Some viewers shared in the message that she often felt nervous about aircraft encountering incidents. Under the encouragement of Su Li, she tried to take the initiative to inform the flight attendant first. When aircraft encounter incidents, the flight attendant would also deliberately ask her to care whether she was fine and help her reduce her anxiety when boarding the flight.
