If you want to research online, search for turbulence only and avoid articles about plane crashes—this won’t help calm you down!

Think about what you’re looking forward to at your destination, your favorite childhood memories, or even just a movie you really like.

Some foods like soups or sauces may not be allowed through security. Ask airport staff before you arrive, or consider buying food from the grocery section in airport stores.

If there’s a long line for the bathroom, wait in your seat instead of standing in line.

If there’s sudden turbulence while you’re holding something, grip it as tightly as possible!

If turbulence hits while you’re in the bathroom, grab the side handles and stay put! Staying in a small space like an airplane bathroom is much safer than walking through the main cabin.
