u/Anxious-Ad-1439

I made a post the other day about this being my first transatlantic / red eye/ 4+ hr flight. I’m supppppper nervous and would love some tracking if folks are able!

I am flying Aer Lingus out of JFK to Dublin (a layover before I head to a different part of Europe) on Thursday (EIN104 / EI104). I am completely terrified. I have been putting off this trip (which sounds horrible) for years. I am going to meet my husband's family overseas, including his 99 year old grandmother! I have never flown over the ocean, overnight, or this long. I took a 50 min flight to Montreal last year and was a mess of anxiety the entire time. I used the "Dial A Pilot" service yesterday, which helped a little, plus I have meds this time, but it's just impossible to know if they'll help until the situation presents itself. My main triggers are the time in the actual airplane, medical emergencies in flight (esp. over the atlantic), turbulence, and just genuinely being trapped in a 6.5 hr panic attack. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated !
