Flight anxiety and exit rows
Hello flight attendants! I am a grown ass man who has taken probably a couple of hundred flights in my life. For the last 10 years, I have been struggling with flight anxiety. Sometimes medication helps, sometimes it doesn’t. I have an early morning four hour flight tomorrow. My anxiety is definitely worse than usual. I have been getting so much better, but the incident with flydubai is messing with my head. I want to say that I do understand my fear is irrational, but OCD doesn’t always care about things being rational. Here’s my question. Well, I actually have two questions. I’ve seen a lot of people take comfort in just mentioning their fear to the flight attendant. Are you guys OK with that? Here’s my second question: if I do something like that are you going to move me out of the exit row? One thing that seems to really help is plenty of legroom so that’s why I usually upgrade to an exit row.
I hope this question is loud and thank you very much for anyone who takes the time to read it and answer me.
Edit: I’m going to leave this up in case anyone else can benefit from the answers. I didn’t say anything. My headspace was better than expected. By chance, I was seated next to a lovely pilot and had a great chat with her. Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond!
