I NEED to know how plane rides are! is it scary?! does it hurt really bad when your ears pop and stay “clogged?

i am terrified so much! my anxiety is going to be horrible. YES i do know I’m working myself up, but I can’t help it! I never wanted to go on a plane. lol oh boy, i leave in a few days! Someone please tell me everything!! =)
thanks for dealing with my terror haha

First thing: what kind of plane are you flying on? If you’re on a big commercial jetliner, relax. They are fully pressurized. Your ears should pop little if at all. A smaller plane will be less pressurized, but generally fly at a lower altitude. If your ears start bothering you, yawn a lot or chew gum. That will help keep the pressure equalized on both sides of your eardrum. Mostly, though, relax. Flying is one of the safest ways to travel. I was scared my first time too, but found I REALLY enjoyed it.
