The fear of flying affects more than 25 million U.S. adults and turbulence can trigger that fear. Here's where pilots say to sit on the plane to help with that anxiety.
Anxious airline passengers, especially those who are worried about turbulence, should aim to sit closer to the front of the plane. That, according to several reports and airplane pilots, is the best place to sit if turbulence triggers anxiety. Tens of millions of people took off for a trip during Memorial Day weekend, the unofficial start to the summer travel season. The surge in travelers last weekend foreshadowed how busy this summer will be at airports nationwide.
Earlier this month, the Transportation Security Administration announced it is prepared for a record number of passengers at airport security checkpoints nationwide. The TSA said it will expect to screen more than 3 million passengers nationwide in a single day at some point this summer for the first time ever.
