Support an Anxious Flyer
They're scared of flying. Know when they've landed safely.
By Tom Walsh
Track a FlightSomeone you love is terrified of flying but has to travel anyway. They're white-knuckling it at 35,000 feet while you're at home unable to help.
What you can do: - Be there when they need to talk (before and after) - Know exactly when they've landed - Confirm they're safe as soon as possible - Be ready to celebrate with them
What you can't do: - Make the fear go away - Be on the plane with them - Fix turbulence
How SkyText helps: The landing text confirms they're on the ground. You can call immediately to congratulate them on surviving. For anxious flyers, that first post-landing call matters.
The flight itself is outside your control. But knowing the moment it ends means you're ready to support them.
For severe flight anxiety, some people take medication or use coping techniques. The landing confirmation tells you when those techniques worked.
