Hi, I’m Hely, and if you’re here, chances are flying makes you anxious, or downright terrified. And trust me, I get it. You might have never been on a plane before or maybe you suffer every time you get near an aircraft. The thing is: this fear is stopping you from discovering the world, and you want this to change.
For years, I sat through flights feeling completely on edge, convinced that every little noise or movement meant something was wrong. I spent hours Googling ‘how safe is flying?’ hoping to find a single, clear source that explained everything in a way that actually made me feel better.
But instead of letting fear control me forever, I decided to face it head-on. I learned everything I could about aviation, flight safety, and anxiety management. I asked the “dumb” questions, I took flights even when my brain screamed nope, and slowly but surely, I got better.
That journey led me to create The Calm Cabin because this is exactly what I wish I had when I was terrified of flying. A space where aviation is explained in a simple, approachable way, fear is met with understanding, and you can find real tools to fly with confidence.
There are plenty of pilot-led blogs and technical aviation sites out there, but let’s be honest: most of them don’t help if you’re a nervous flyer.
The Calm Cabin is different. It’s not just about explaining how planes work; it’s about understanding how you feel. I’ve been through the fear myself, so I know what actually helps, and what doesn’t.
Here’s what makes this blog special:
This isn’t just another flight anxiety website, it’s your personal guide to feeling calm, prepared, and maybe even a little confident in the air.
The Calm Cabin was created by a once-terrified flyer who finally overcame her fear of flying, and is now on a mission to help others do the same.
If the thought of stepping on a plane fills you with anxiety, you’re not alone. This space is here to support, reassure, and empower you to take off with confidence, so you can finally enjoy traveling and discover the world with ease and peace of mind.
