Proud of people who go on planes.
Where am I going to put it when it finishes?

You are more likely to die in a car on the way to the airport, so if you make it there you should be fine.

I love it. I bloody love taking planes, no matter how long the flight (fuck Ryan seats toh). I also love airports and I don't get bored waiting long hours for an exchange flight.
I also love sleeping on flights and once managed to sleep 12 hours straight from Cagliari to Tokyo. Got up the plane, sit down, started to sleep before takeoff. Woke up, "Mmmm let's see where we are", checked the map, "WE CAN'T BE OVER JAPAN ALREADY GODDAMMIT". Friend, "Yep, you slept the whole 12 hors".

I hate everything about flying other than the flight itself - which I find relaxing.
I also stress more when I travel for vacation than for work. I have to fly cross country on Sunday for a convention next week in LA, and I couldn't care less about being inconvenienced vs. if this was for leisure.

Ya I hate planes. Hard for me to do long flights. Not scared or anything I just start getting claustrophobic after the 5 hour mark. For some reason my flight to Panama felt way longer and exhausting compared to my flight to Germany. I guess because the plane was a lot smaller. Hard for me to read or play games because it just makes me nauseous. Next time I’m gonna get high as fuck just so I can pass out the whole trip.

When they say you can take out electronic devices, what I would recommend is you put on some headphones and play your favorite music. Hopefully it will distract you from anything else, and hopefully you have a smooth ride. One time as a kid, I barely made it onto the plane (TSA thought my portable DVD player was a weapon of mass destruction, LOL), and my mom literally threw me and my brother into the plane so we could make it. The wings were icy (I lived up north at the time) which delayed the flight for about an hour, after which the pilot literally said he would fly it like he stole it, which he proceeded to act upon. Not a fun flight, but it probably won't happen to you. Good luck on your flight.

if the plane has screens with a movie selection, see if they have any Marvel stuff. I put endgame on when coming back to the UK from the USA and slept the whole way.

Bin when you get off the flight.
The constant chewing motion helps prevent/reduce any pain when moving down suddenly. Typically (at least for me) this has only occurred when landing, not at takeoff or during the flight. So you are probably safe to not start chewing gum until you are close to your destination.

this is the best. once i was so high and sleep deprived it felt like the plane was going backwards heh. take off is amazing baked
Earplugs help with the pressure and noise. As someone mentioned above, the biggest pain in the ass about flying is everything that happens before actual flying. By the time you get done with check in, security, and waiting, you'll be happy to sit in your seat. Go early so you aren't rushing or feel like you have to rush through anything and you'll be fine
Don't drink alcohol on the plane to calm your nerves. Drink ginger ale or water out of a bottle. To be honest, one thing I do with my kids when we fly is I buy a new game for the switch. For short flights like this, by the time you are allowed to turn it on, you start playing and before you know it, you're landing. Keeps you distracted.
Have a good trip

I once had a flight after a sports team wrecked things so hard that they needed to duct tape a handle in place to its exit door.

If the dude is paranoid, an edible would make him even more scared.
You only take drugs when you are in the right mood.

It was hard to say, i know a lot of people who eat edibles before taking a flight (me included)

Last time I took one was along with LSD and I made the mistake of you can always eat more. Needless to say I spent the night terrified of FNAF characters and then Bob Ross saved my life.

Never tried lsd, a bit too risky for me after some stories i heard from friends.
I usually take mushrooms when i want visions (but not during a flight)

Make sure you're dead tired
Update here
I took the flight and it was awesome! awesomely boring that was and like some were saying the queing and waiting through security is way worse. There is a feeling of weightlessness as you take to the air in the beginning though and it also feels strange landing (everyone in the airplane made noises). I look forward to my return flight soon

If you are not worried about crashing and thinking of every little noise the plane make as if there is something wrong (like how my brain works) then the sound is not really that bad. I personally take a sedative and of all the advices I got the only one that actually worked for me is looking at the flight attendants. It calms me as they just walk and talk and behave casually. It reduces my stress.

Make sure you put a comically large dildo in your carry on luggage so the TSA drone x-raying your bags have something interesting to look at.
Seriously though, take-off and landing is the worst parts, but it will be all right. The take-off is going to be very loud, and that's normal.
