Someone slap me

**Stinky!**

I'm having some serious anxiety about flying alone next weekend. I had a panic attack this morning because I realized I might need to check my luggage and I'm not totally sure if I do that at the ticket counter, or the guys who stand at the lobby entrance. *smh*

And before those of you who've flown a lot point & laugh, I've only flown twice in my life, the latter being almost three years ago. This will be the first time I've flown alone. I almost fainted the first time I flew, so I obviously have some issues with this.

Thank god it's a direct flight, or I might've pooped my pants trying to find the connecting terminal.

This might sound a little gross, but masturbation works the best after taking some Midol. Preferably not with your hand, a vibrating back massage will do the trick. It works like a charm and will definitely relax you enough to put you to sleep.

Just replace the word "cramps" with "Flying"

I think you should go inside, wait in line, and let the nice lady/man check you in.

 

I was going to say use the kiosk, but I don't want you to faint.:)

 

You'll be fine.

MAYBE I DO!

I should demand that H fly home and escort me back to DC. On his parents' dime, of course.

If you need to check your bag, do it at the counter inside. I fly a lot and I still am a very paranoid flier.

I'm a panicy flier too. I've only flown maybe 5 times in my life, and always the same two flights (it's a one hour flight, each way) and I still freak out. Last time I flew, in 2007, I almost had a panic attack when the plane took off.

So I have no advice for you except maybe just take a carry on and don't check your bag. That always makes me feel safer. And at least you know you're no alone/abnormal.

Check your bags inside in line, and if they have the machines available go ahead and get your ticket there. Best thing ever, saves you time and headaches.

Check your bags at the desk. If there is only a kiosk, usually there are attendants there to help you. Be sure to bring a book or something to entertain yourself during the flight. I would recommend getting upgrading to first class, being sat next to a hot guy, and enjoying cocktails throughout the flight. But, that is just my opinion

bring your own snack.  having something you made that you like to eat might help you feel back in control.

re: a snack - the don't serve any food on plane rides anymore unless they are trans-atlantic. I like food more often than they think I should. I recommend this.

Yeah, I had to buy a sandwich on the plane when I flew to Hawaii. I guess I didn't read the fine print. It was from LA to HI, and a sista only had 45 minutes between flights.

I just gave them my $10.

These are great, guys. Thanks.
