While I have been on hundreds of flights all over the world, I still on occasion experience panic attacks on an airplane. It is not due to fear of flying but the feeling of being closed in a small place without a chance of getting out for a very long time.

One time I was trapped on a small 30 seat prop plane on a tarmac for over three hours in a snow storm. I almost went crazy.

Another time I was sitting in the window seat on a long 16 hour flight to Asia. Every hour or so I would get up and walk around to get my sanity back but the people next to me had grown tired of my getting up every hour and pressured me to sit still. I felt trapped and started to get a panic attack. No aisle seats were available.

Other times I would freak out sitting in the small bathroom on a plane and my thoughts had been trapped in their for life.

Does the trapped closed in feeling ever make you get a panic attack on an airplane?
