Overcoming Flying Anxiety

YOUR GUIDE TO OVERCOMING FLYING ANXIETY

Even though flying remains one of the safest forms of travel from a statistical standpoint, fear of flying is one of the most common phobias people have. Whether it’s because of fear of an accident, the claustrophobia associated with being in the airplane cabin, or the loss of control they feel, flying can be a big source of anxiety for travelers. For many people, their flying anxiety can begin days or even weeks before their flight, making them feel nervous and negatively impacting their daily lives.

However, if you have flying anxiety, the experience of flying for work or vacation doesn’t have to be stressful. There are many options for preventing and overcoming that anxiety before and during a flight. We have created the accompanying airplane anxiety guide to provide you with tips that can make your travels more calming and enjoyable. It lists some of the techniques that are most effective at helping nervous fliers cope with their anxiety.

Flying may produce anxiety in people in many ways. Some people are unnerved by the unfamiliar noises they experience during a flight, or the pain they feel due to air pressure changes. Other people don’t like confined spaces and the feeling that they can’t get out, which are only made worse by staying in a pressurized cabin for several hours. Many other people have misconceptions about how safe flying is and spend their flight in fear of an accident. No matter what causes it, anxiety can make flying uncomfortable and agonizing.

Fortunately, there are a number of strategies you can practice to help reduce your anxiety before you board the plane, as well as many steps you can take during a flight that can help you feel more at ease. One proven technique is to spend the weeks before your flight concentrating on your physical fitness, as that can have a major effect on your mental state. Whether you work out more, concentrate on meditation or yoga, or a combination, improving your physical condition can make a big difference in your mood while you fly.

While you’re in the air, you can try to concentrate on puzzles, movies or any other activity that will occupy your mind and help prevent you from focusing on your anxiety. Bringing items in your carry-on bag such as noise-canceling headphones, coloring books, a sleep mask or anything else that can take your mind off the flight is another sound strategy.

Still a little nervous about flying? Consider flying privately. You can cut out possible anxiety triggers such as long lines, delays, not-so-friendly passengers and missing luggage. The friendly, calm experience you enjoy when chartering a jet can help reduce flying anxiety. Latitude 33 Aviation is a premier private jet operator that can assist you with this option. Make yourself at home with your own private flight, enjoy catered meals, watch your favorite movies, and relax without worries. The team at Latitude 33 Aviation would be honored to make your flying experience extraordinary and is happy to accommodate special requests.

It is possible to have a comfortable, relaxing flight — even if you have flight anxiety. By being aware of what causes you to feel stressed during a flight and using some coping strategies before and during the flight, you can enjoy your flight much more and arrive at your destination feeling calm. Review the accompanying aerophobia guide to help you prepare for your next flight without stress or anxiety.

FLYING ANXIETY GUIDE

More than a quarter of Americans report feeling some kind of anxiety related to air travel. This guide goes into detail about some of the common causes of flight-related anxiety and how people can overcome it.

Reasons for Flying Anxiety

  • Turbulence
  • Mechanical noises
  • Pain caused by pressure changes
  • Misinformation about risks of flying
  • Personality factors
  • Recent stressful life events

How to Prepare for a Flight

  • Research the statistics. Knowing how many planes fly every day perfectly safely can help put your mind at ease before you board.
  • Get to know the plane. If possible, spend some time in the cabin of a plane before your trip and acquaint yourself with all the features.
  • Focus on your physical health. Your physical condition can have a significant impact on your mental state, so step up your exercise routine before your flight or start meditating to keep your mind clear and calm.
  • Make yourself comfortable. Download a favorite movie or create a playlist with your favorite music before your flight.
  • Dress for the flight. Loose, comfortable clothing will help you feel more at ease during the flight.
  • Avoid alcohol or caffeine. Certain substances can make your anxiety worse, so make sure you drink some soothing tea before your flight.

Tips to Overcome Anxiety

  • Stay busy during the flight. Keeping your mind and body occupied during the flight can help keep your mind off your anxiety.
  • Download an app. Apps are available to help you manage your anxiety through guided meditation, breathing exercises and other methods.
  • Try to sleep. If you can, try to use the flight as an opportunity to get some shuteye. You will miss most of the flight altogether and eliminate the opportunity to get nervous.
  • Shut out noise. Noise-canceling headphones or earplugs can block many of the sounds that create anxiety in nervous fliers.
  • Choose your seat carefully. Sitting closer to the front of the plane cuts down on the amount of turbulence you may feel during the flight.

Items That Reduce Anxiety

  • Headphones
  • iPod/music
  • Books
  • Movies
  • Video games
  • Aromatherapy oils
  • Sleep mask
  • Crafts

How the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act Affect the Aviation Industry

Private Aircraft, Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Currently, the federal government imposes an excise tax on every commercial flight. Under this new legislation, the maintenance of a privately managed and operated plane would be exempt from this tax.

Below is the section of the bill which describes the tax breaks for aircraft owners:

The proposal exempts certain payments related to the management of private aircraft from the excise taxes imposed on taxable transportation by air. Exempt payments are those amounts paid by an aircraft owner for management services related to maintenance and support of the owner’s aircraft or flights on the owner’s aircraft. 

Applicable services include support activities related to the aircraft itself, such as its storage, maintenance, and fueling, and those related to its operation, such as the hiring and training of pilots and crew, as well as administrative services such as scheduling, flight planning, weather forecasting, obtaining insurance, and establishing and complying with safety standards. Aircraft management services also include such other services as are necessary to support flights operated by an aircraft owner.”

Q: How does this new tax reform affect the aviation industry and purchase of private aircraft?

A: The acquisition of an aircraft for business could be depreciated at 100% of the cost within the first year of ownership. This is an immediate, important change from previous tax guidelines. For example, based on a marginal tax rate of 40% and a jet acquisition price of $5,000,000 there is a potential income tax savings of $2,000,000.

Q: Is there a difference between the acquisition of a pre-owned aircraft vs. a factory-new aircraft?

A: No, the tax reform applies to both new and pre-owned aircraft.

Q: Is there a cap or phase-out to deduction price point?

A: No, there is no purchase price point at which the tax advantage caps out. The tax benefits would apply to a seasoned jet owner upgrading to a Citation Longitude, as well as a first-time aircraft owner looking to purchase a single-engine turboprop aircraft.

Q: I would like to purchase an aircraft soon, should I wait?

A: Now is the perfect time to buy an aircraft as the new incentives are very advantageous. Although the new Tax Cut eliminates the like-kind exchange (1031 exchange) for aircraft transactions (in 2018 the Act will only allow the 1031 like-kind exchange for real property) and taxpayers will no longer be able to defer taxable gain on their aircraft when they wish to upgrade, the new tax cuts applicable to buying a new plane are immediate and significant.

Q: What if I wish to deduct entertainment expenses for my business aircraft?

A: Previously, deductions of entertainment expenses are only allowed if they directly relate to the taxpayer’s conduct of business. Starting in 2018, the new tax cut does not allow the deduction of entertainment expenses, regardless if it associated with the owner’s/taxpayer’s business.

Q: Great! I am ready to purchase my aircraft. Now what?

A: Contact the experts on our jet acquisition service team at 800-840-0310 or AircraftSales@L33Jets.comLatitude 33 Aviation is glad to help you through this process – we are an industry-recognized group of experts delivering professional, full-service aircraft ownership programs. Latitude 33 will handle every aspect of the private jet acquisition process for you including market analysis, aircraft selection, contract negotiations, legal and tax referrals, facility selection, on-site pre-buy representation and jet pilot mentoring.

Latitude 33 Aviation hosted this unique guest for a four-hour event at their hangar headquarters in sunny Carlsbad, CA. Latitude 33 Aviation is a premier company for private jet charter, aircraft management, and aircraft sales that is based just outside the city of San Diego and manages a fleet of aircraft in Los Angeles, Southern California, and beyond. The team at Latitude 33 is actively engaging with their clients and arranging events to bring them the most exceptional jets on the market. Latitude 33’s hangar was a jet owner’s dream, combining their own fleet of exquisite private jets alongside the Longitude. The lounge music, soft purple accent lights throughout the hangar, and friendly California vibe from Latitude 33 Aviation made the atmosphere remarkable. In addition, the environment of a gorgeous hangar catered with local craft beer, wine, food, and stunning jets made the event even more pleasing.

PERKS.


Detail

Even some private jets lag on the available space for comfort. The Longitude’s stand-up, flat floor cabin, which is customizable to any style, exceeds first-class comfort. Not only does the jet have 30-inches of legroom, a full six feet of vertical space, and can carry up to 12 passengers, you can choose from three floor plans, one of which includes a couch. With multiple fabrics & various designs, your personal touches can be added to the trimmed to perfection “Bisque, Black Edition, Carnegie, French Roast, Hyde Park, and Silver Frost” interior. This interior truly evolves the travel experience and raises in-flight expectations.

Evolution at your fingertips. The pilots are now equipped with Garmin’s latest G5000 touchscreen navigation and communication systems. In addition, the Citation Longitude features LinxUs’ fully integrated and most advanced diagnostic system. The proven avionics effortlessly navigate the skies. The longitude keeps you refreshed and ready to perform with the lowest cabin altitude in its class at under 6,000ft. Best part…it performs at the lowest operating cost!
