No matter your age, a person's first flight is an exhilarating experience. First-time flyers are often either scared or excited about their big day. If you're feeling nervous about flying, you should feel secure knowing you are safer in the air than driving in a car .

Flying for the first time is a "High-Fidelity" sensory overload that begins with the physicality of takeoff. As the plane accelerates down the runway, you feel a deep "push" into your seat, followed by a light, lifting sensation in your stomach the moment the wheels leave the ground. As you climb, the world outside shrinks into a toy-like miniature, and the sudden quiet of cruising above the clouds often brings a surprising sense of peace. You might feel a "pop" in your ears due to pressure changes, which is a normal "High-Fidelity" part of the ascent. Once at altitude, the sensation of speed disappears, and it can feel like you are standing still despite traveling at 500 mph. For many, the highlight is the "High-Fidelity" visual of a sea of white clouds beneath a bright blue sky, or the glowing lights of a city at night. While a few bumps of turbulence can be startling, the overall feeling is one of immense freedom and awe at the perspective shift that only air travel can provide.
