Hi! I recently flew by myself for the first time, and I have to be totally honest and say that one of my four flights was completely terrible. However, the other three were a breeze! I had flown with my family before, but I'd never done a layover or navigated an airport on my own. I was really nervous, but the first two flights (to get to my destination) went perfectly! I had headphones and earbuds to block out the sounds and help me relax. I also made sure to take my meds before leaving for the airport. That was my problem on the way back. I forgot to take my meds beforehand, so I ended up having a panic attack before I even got on the plane, then it lasted through that entire flight. When I landed, I made sure to take my meds and talk to my boyfriend on the phone to calm down, and my final flight had went smoothly. Security isn't as bad as it's made out to be... Besides the fact that you have to interact with the TSA agent. If you follow the agent's instructions, you'll have no problem getting through security. Finding your gate isn't terrible either, there are so many signs very clearly saying where each terminal or gate is. I hope something I said either encouraged you or helped! If you need anything, feel free to reach out 🤗
