Hi everyone! I really need some advice about my upcoming long haul flight to the UK from Singapore. I was meant to fly at the end of April, but because of work commitments and visa hiccups, I've been putting it off. It's also probably due to my anxiety about making this 13-hour journey that I've been putting it off.
I'm supposed to leave at the end of July but just looking at flight schedules is a nerve-wrecking experience. My main worry is turbulence. Unfortunately many seasoned travelers have warned me that turbulence almost occurs over the Bay of Bengal because of the changing monsoons. I googled turbulence in that area, and people online have reported sitting through as much as 3 hours of turbulence. I know I shouldn't have done that but curiosity has really gotten the better of me.
Has anyone reading this post done a long haul flight? I'm looking for any tips, advice or words of encouragement from the community. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
Best, Yilyn

Hi Dorthe, thank you for the kind and encouraging reply. I know that the only way to get over the fear is to face it. But right now, I feel like the heart (fear) is battling the head (logic). I'm nervous now, but I will try to stay positive and confident. No matter the outcome, I will try my best!
I know it's silly, but I always feel embarrassed about telling the crew that I have a fear of flying. Unless it's someone else from this community, I find it hard to open up to people about my anxiety. Most of my friends and family do not have this fear, and often do not give good advice.
Thanks again for your encouragement. Have a happy weekend ahead!
Best wishes, Yilyn
