We are all different and handle these situations in different ways. For some, it may be just another bumpy ride, while for others it may be the worst nightmare. If you are in the second group, the best you can do if you feel fear in the middle of a flight is to sit tight, fasten your seatbelt and pay attention to the flight attendants. More often than not, you will see them carrying out their duties normally, even moving the food carts around in an indication that things are in control. Then, you can take a deep breath and relax knowing that nothing wrong is happening. And remember that your pilot will always look for smooth air and make the right call in the most difficult of situations.
