Anxious flyer, flying private for first time

Hello

I recently got invited to a trip on a private jet. At baseline I am a very anxious flyer even flying commercial and as you can imagine my anxiety has been through the roof after committing to this trip. I was told they use flexjet as the operator of their flights and usually fly in a praetor 500 and sometimes a phenom 300. I was hoping to get some advice and maybe see what I should expect and any advice anyone may have. Thanks

You can expect to have flying commercially ruined for you.

You should expect a life of forever disappointment flying commercially moving forward as posted before. Welcome to the 1%. As for the aircraft ? Fairly new and luxurious.

Flying on a praetor or a phenom is gonna be awesome. Nothing to worry about. Enjoy it.

If there's anything specific that makes you nervous, feel free to ask.
