Passengers in window seats are less likely to be struck by any projectile objects, suitcases falling out of overhead bins or ceiling tiles coming down, said Sara Nelson, the president of the largest flight attendant union.
In addition, seats near the front and next to the wing will typically be less bumpy compared to the back of the aircraft. In severe turbulence, though, where you’re sitting won’t make a difference, Nelson said. Think about what calms you in general and try to do some of those activities on the flight. For her trip to Chicago, Levy brought a sketchbook for doodling, her favourite music and some crossword puzzles. She also spoke to her doctor about taking a low dose of Xanax .
Finally, keep an eye on the weather. Thunderstorms typically develop in the warmer months of spring, summer and fall, according to the National Weather Service, and can create turbulence. If you have the flexibility to postpone your flight, you might try for a day with clearer skies in the hopes of a smoother ride.Christina Caron © The New York Times Company
