According to a recent study from MIT, flying is likely much safer than you may think. In fact, their results show it’s roughly 40 times safer to fly now than it was back in the 1960s. Still, despite this fact, millions of people are said to experience some level of anxiety around traveling by airplane — around 25 million in the United States alone, to be more exact.
Airport Worker Eases Flying Anxiety With Sweet Message
So, sure, travel by airplane is actually pretty darn safe. But knowing something is true does not automatically take away any fear or anxiety that we feel. That’s why it’s oh-so-heartwarming that this airport worker took the time to write that thoughtful message. The simple yet powerful act of kindness was all it took for Cassie, and countless others, to feel more at ease.
It’s no wonder this travel blogger says Japan is “my favorite country I have visited.” That’s high praise coming from a well-traveled person like Cassie!
