It's actually when I'm within the airports that I'm most susceptible - A GPS won't help. Perhaps others think I should just get a direct flight, but they are MUCH more expensive. As my flights involve seeing my partner, there's no way I'm halving the number of my trips to accommodate my phobia. I just wish the airlines would offer a little bit more assistance when they screw up, arrive late, and then leave it to me to deal with navigating the entire length of an airport while my anxiety builds up further and further.

Alas, it's impossible to control your breathing when you have to run to make a connection.
