Travel expert shares deals for Spring Break and tips for dealing with flight anxiety after recent incidents
Flight anxiety is on the rise because of recent plane accidents. There was another near collision on the tarmac on Tuesday.
Mental health experts say it’s normal to be afraid to fly after an airline tragedy.
A study released a week ago found that 64% of adults think flying is “very or somewhat safe,” compared to 71% in 2024.
Katy Nastro a travel expert with Going joined The Morning Show to share the questions she is fielding about “flight anxiety” and travel deals with “Spring Break” right around the corner.
