"pods" or "suites"


I understand your problem!!! I've found 'pods' OK. The height of the cabin and the feeling of space above ones head is helpful. Both the 747 and 777 do it for me.

For years I carried a small hand towel and dampened it onces on board. This I could place on the back of my neck if the fear factor of being closed in became serious on take-off and/or during the flight. Just carrying medication that would help was help in itself. Another tip I've learned over the years is keeping you feild of vision small. Do look up and around when nervous...keep your focus on the seat in from and eyes down....or read! Ear phones to take away the aircraft noise are also useful. The best is sleeping pills....once the safety belt sign is off I pop a pill and knock myself out for at least 5 hours. That gets me almost half way through the flights I do.

Good luck!
