Just returned from a trip to Cyprus flying Jet2 LBA to Paphos. I coped - with the help of Diazepam. I had felt so much better after the responses on this thread and was feeling positive, but as the days got closer to the flight I felt my anxiety levels rising. Using the Diazepam definitely helped, I still felt anxious but didn't feel sick, faint or have palpitations. I guess I am always going to be a nervous pax. I must say the very loud mutterings of a couple behind me recounting all air tragedies since year dot for the duration of the flight probably didn't help matters. Plus after boarding an hour late for the return flight the FO announced that we would have a 2 hour wait on the plane for the next available slot. The plane didn't have any A/C and some electrical fault meant that the lights kept going out - hmmmm!
