How can I get over my fear of having a panic attack on a plane?

Take deep breaths with your diaphragm. Reassure yourself that you are safe, and realize your feelings are completely valid.

Over the pat years, I have noticed that plane rides have become a nerve-racking experience for me, especially it it is an international flight. From personal experience, the best way to get over the fear of having a panic attack on a plane is to feel as comfortable as possible on the plane, take some deep breaths and drink plenty of water. Also, sucking on candy or chewing gum helps as a distraction. Finding things to distract you from remembering you are on a plane are also good. All in all, you will be ok :)

You might want to talk to a doctor about this, because there are several prescriptions that could help you with this, if you're that worried. Otherwise, come up with some coping mechanisms and distractions.

Panic attacks can be tricky to deal with, most of the time they do occur randomly. With the fear of having a panic attack on a plane you have to discover why you are worried about this issue. You have to try and think of the best and worst outcomes of this situation, and really find out why this fear is present in your life, only then can you find a lasting solution. I completely understand how you feel regarding panic attacks, they truly are frightening. I do not know the extent of the situation and the circumstances regarding the situation and can not offer a solution to your fear you must do that for yourself.
