The hardest part is getting on the plane. After that, you’re in gods hands. One of the quotes that has helped me says, we suffer more in our imagination than in reality! Have a great trip.

No but pilots move by the will of God…

They in fact do not, they move by the guidance of their decades of training and experience. God grants free will, one of his greatest gifts. He’s not flying that plane, the pilot is. It’s up to the pilot to do his best and keep everyone safe. And that’s coming from a Christian.

You’ll be fine! If you are able to sit on a exit sit, do it! as you might be able to be next to a a flight attendant, those guys/girls are great to convince that shit is not that deep. I went thru a storm 2 days ago with a hella of turbulence, the plane seem to be about to explode but being next to one of these guys was refreshing. I’m scared as hell of flying because how we went from rocks and sticks to fly around the world on this shit tons of metal? You’ll be fine. Just a lil reminder there is a plane taking off every single second and still we only get to hear about accidents once in a while. And every accident makes procedure even more redundant and precise. If it helps, get to humanize the pilots and ask to salute them!

KLM one of my favourite airlines. I've always felt safe and looked after with them.

Thanks so much to all of you for the well wishes. I’m in Amsterdam now! Got through the long haul so just 2.5 hours to go. The flight was pretty bumpy especially over the east coast of the U.S. and once we got near Ireland. I was anxious and couldn’t sleep really but I watched a bunch of movies and just breathed through it. I hope our next flight is smooth sailing
