I am taking my very first flight this week with Southwest, Philly to Orlando.
My therapist, who runs my fear of flying course, recommends I meet the captain before boarding to help with my anxiety.
I have letters of introduction for both the gate agent and the captain.
Would this be a problem? It would really help me fly calmly.
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @pacosurfer,
I'm so glad to know that you'll be taking a trip with us soon! A fear of flying is not uncommon, and I commend your proactive approach to the situation. I love that you've drafted letters of introduction, and I think that's a great way to start your trip.
If you'd like, you cand send me a private message here on the Community, and I'll work with you to see how we can make your experience in Philly a good one.

I suggest scheduling your therapy session at the airport, that way you will have something to do when your flight is inevitably delayed for hours.
