THREE RESOURCES FOR NERVOUS FLYERS // Swiss Alps Adventure

[@NaturalVeganLove]

People fear what they don’t know so watching pilot podcast, check rides, IFR IMC flights, bush pilots, and listening to ATC has helped a ton! Your channel is the best because it gives behind the scenes footage and the breakdown of your day. My friend has been flying with United for 31 years out of San Francisco and hates not being able to go to JFK to visit me lol. THANK YOU!!!!!

[@GeorgeConner69420]

My fear is really just heights. I hate being in a tube 30+ thousand feet in the air and having my life in the hands of people I have never met lol. I still do it, but I just hate it. I can never sleep and just have extreme anxiety the entire time. The feeling of wheels on the ground is one of the best

[@bernardkennedyIV]

Another excellent video Paul from start to finish. Really enjoy your style of videos and your content. You are a consummate professional and it’s really nice to see the human side of things with spending time with family, enjoying your career, exploring new layover spots with great crew. I think every time I watch one of these videos I learn something different and reflect on how to create similar memories in my own life. Thanks for taking us along for the trip, and look forward to the next one!

[@RoyalGuthington]

Just adore you and your family. Thank you for sharing all of your trips with us !

[@FernandoVaz-i4g]

Hello Paul, I’m living in Geneva, I’m from Porto Portugal, I really appreciate your videos!!!! I really hope you continue to make this wonderful stories of your trips, all the best for you and all your family 😊

[@mamaloveshercats]

I am so glad you said what I have always thought... When the plane is shaking and going through the rough places on the air and made me nervous, I always told myself "trust the pilots... trust the pilots... I am sure they have loved ones waiting and would want to go home to them..." Thank you so much!

[@mylayoverlife]

We’re also up there sipping coffee during that time. 😉

[@telegraphable]

The thing that helped my fear of flying the most was on United over a decade ago. I don't know if they still do it, but there used to be a channel on the inflight entertainment where you could listen to the pilots in the cockpit. Hearing how calm everyone was and all of the conversations about trying to find smooth air during turbulence helped me realize how commonplace it is and that the pilots were always trying to help us have a more comfortable flight. That, watching KZbin videos like these, and flying a lot more often have pretty much cured my nerves!

[@mylayoverlife]

We still have that on some flights. You can access it from the setback monitor, I think it’s called “From the flight deck.”

[@mrrs8118]

My son-in-law airline captain has helped alleviate a lot of my fear of flying. He answers all of my questions and I watch a lot of aviation-related videos and I listen to ATC frequently. Lucky me….I am going on a trip to Kauai in a few days in the company of my daughter and son-in-law!! Otherwise, I might be a little freaked out about flying over the ocean. But I’m actually looking forward to it. Thanks for your fun videos!

[@karolrust2300]

I'm sharing this with my adult children who both are very anxious about flying. Thank you Paul for providing resources and showing us how beautiful this world is through your travel!! 😊🌍✈

[@FsnGoldandSilver]

I was a phobic flyer for many years. Tried everything even flying lessons. It started diminishing over time and then I tried visualization and desensitization therapy. It worked almost immediately and today I am a fear free flier.

[@imzeus3865]

I love your sense of adventure! Your crew must get excited when they see that you are on their trip. Enjoyed this very much, Paul!

[@mylayoverlife]

I don’t know if that’s true or not but everyone is welcome to come along!

[@ianhiles8706]

What a nice video ... its great to see the crew interacting and having a great layover ... and not a flock of birds in sight :)

[@mylayoverlife]

Right?! 😂

[@alexnail7779]

Paul, I came across your channel last night and have spent the last day making my way through your channel. I worked at seatac for about a year and a half and it sparked a lifelong interest in aviation that continues to this day. Your channel is incredible and the positivity you spread through your videos is remarkable. If you ever find yourself in the Seattle area again I'd love to say hi. - Alex

[@RedCatt423]

Love your adventures as well as the quick peek into airline and pilot perspectives. Your editing is noteworthy.

[@lakeishaturner9847]

Thank you. Your videos have really helped with my flying anxiety. I've cancelled trips in the past when it's gotten really bad.

[@knflack]

Thank you for this video, Captain Paul. I think my next European adventure will definitely be Switzerland, as that jump looks exhilarating. I likely won’t be on any of your flights because my home is SFO and I try to book non-stop, but I look forward to my next United flight to Europe.

[@VictorSilva-b9d]

7:37 Don't stop with videos,great inspiration can't wait to be on ur flight again to porto

[@mxjet1]

Your videos make me remember how much I love and appreciate the airline employee life. Me and my family also realize how lucky we are to travel and see the world. I have been to this region before and everyone needs to see it. Thank You ,and looking forward to running into you one day in EWR to say thank you again face to face .

[@mylayoverlife]

It’s the best and craziest life. 🤙🏻

[@hungo7720]

Anyone who is afraid of flying will be reassured and enticed by your footage Paul. A superb video as always!

[@williamdeveson2673]

Hey Paul, you’re really great at story telling, it’s one of my favorite parts of your videos. It’s cool to see the united ops as an FO from another major, but I always stay for the unique messages you tell.

[@MainStageGuru]

Paul, Your videos are simply inspiring. I honestly look forward to each of your releases so I can add more destinations to my bucket list. Thanks for all you do!

[@t.lucalake8963]

I would feel 100% safe flying again on United if Paul was my Captain. Love your videos. 😊 👍 I will definitely by the book, Soar. THANK YOU!! 😊

[@suetodd7789]

Thank you, Paul. You are so sweet and calming and your style of your video is wonderful.

[@truckingpatriot5220]

Thank you, Paul. I am handicapped and probably wont ever get to experience most of what you do.

[@itsnotme07]

Yep, Paul has just got his crazy certification! LOL Nicely done!!

[@vinnyperix1808]

Your videos have helped me get over a lot of my fears, Thank You!

[@EcoFlightAttendant]

I love the way you can tell a story and weave it seamlessly in with great advice. What a fun layover, thank you for sharing! Definitely adding this to my layover bucket list! Safe travels ✈️

[@Oompa_Lampuh]

Always a good start to the day when you upload new videos! Safe travels!

[@christineramseyer4721]

The one thing that has helped me when I fly is KZbin videos like yours and other airline crew members. Thank you, Paul.

[@hendrikdevries9725]

Loving your professionalism, your adventures, the challenges, the travels!

[@nickk4010]

So cool, I was right there in Lauterbrunnen and Wengen/ Interlaken last Sept. Absolutely love that area! Great videos Paul hope to see you one day when I'm flying United!

[@susanspence3029]

That was crazy, I can see the appeal. Thanks for sharing your tips for nervous flyers (my husband). Really enjoy your vlog!

[@mylayoverlife]

Appreciate you watching!

[@amandazoglio]

When people ask my favorite place I always saw Lauterbrunnan! I also jumped off a cliff there paragliding (loved it). I also absolutely hate flying and actually watching your videos and a lot of flight attendant videos has helped. Watching people fly over and over for their job helps me realize there is nothing to worry about - if there was people wouldn’t sign up to do it every day! (Well… that and Xanax but hey it works)

[@carolh.1787]

Another great vlog! I started flying at 3 months old but went through a time a few years back of a lot of fear. But I think social media and following folks like you helped put it aside. Thanks for that 😊

[@Kyle901838]

Paul, I have seen you many times at the MSP airport. I used to be with OO for two years based in MSP before I made the jump to G4 in BNA. I want to applaud you for being genuine even when the camera is off. I have seen you on the escalators chatting with pax or other pilots. I wish you the best! I would often watch your videos commuting home!!! I would often find myself exploring the small cities we would fly into with OO. Now being home every night with G4 the story it different, but I still love the adventure!

[@mylayoverlife]

Appreciate that!!

[@dennisbrooks3270]

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I don’t know if I could do that jump though !😳

[@markm6263]

I’m a fearful flyer n this page helps knowing such a great guy is a pilot….. actually when I’m on the plane I am fine it’s leading up to the flight

[@lawbreaker33]

Love your channel, and good luck with EDI tonight, John

[@DianneSmith-fv1vi]

Just love love your videos be safe always pray for you guys🙏🙇‍♂️🌷

[@markcrowell2727]

Amazing place! I once worked for a Swiss company and, on one of my trips, my wife and I got to take trains up to Wengen...it was an amazing journey. Your video reminded me of how much we enjoyed our trips to Switzerland! I don't mind flying, but I do mind when we start to have bumps...that's when I get nervous!

[@barbarafogarty4802]

Your videos are THE best. Really look forward to seeing them. OMG. Just watching that jump made me gasp. You are amazing!! Thanks again for your perspective. ❤

[@aiwama1]

Discovered your channel only last week and have been binge watching since. Really excellent. I love your positivity and joy for life. Well done, Paul.

[@JamesRoloff]

Soar is awesome. It not only helped with flying for me, but addressed some other anxiety. I'm no working on getting my PPL.

[@mylayoverlife]

That’s so good to hear!!

[@navcop33]

Awesome video Paul! Keep it up! 🛫

[@kyrieeleison7328]

I am not a nervous flyer I just love your videos! ✈️

[@Naomi-b2u]

I’ve loved all your videos. Love how you show us cool things to do and see. United just changed my return from Berlin to LAX to a stop in EWR. Hope I find a sticker!

[@ChlyDoris]

If you happen to go to Kloten, I do propose going to Scool. On the way there you can load the car onto a train. And once there take a bath in the stunning scenery!

[@Tina2tu]

Watching videos like this help with my flight anxiety 🎉 thank you for this

[@AvStuff1]

My dream is to be a United airlines pilot one day thanks to your videos. My goal is to fly the 787, or a350 that is coming soon! Thanks for making these great videos.❤

[@debmcgimpy5958]

How funny that your wife married a pilot!! I LOVE flying!! I LOVE your videos!! Always wish for more. Could I ever NOT want to go to London? OMG!!! You are an adrenalin junkie! :-) That was an awesome jump!!!! Switzerland looks beautiful, too. Thanks for a other Great vlog!!!

[@allenbateman3518]

Great Video, beautiful country... Something must be off with this platform, first video of yours that I have seen in quiet some time.. Thanks for sharing!

[@christopheraxten7020]

Great to see another video I will be flying from London to Newark with United on the 4th September who knows one day I might get to fly with you 👍

[@afhyoutube]

The only time I'm nervous is when we sit at the gate or on the runway. I love communication from the pilots.

[@mylayoverlife]

Good to know!

[@lucianadinato5567]

I wish I was not a nervous flyer and could fly to see my family more often, I just love when the plane lands and even have some tears

[@christopherlee5164]

Love your videos! Taking a risk and starting flight school to become a pilot. This video was perfect for my current thoughts and feelings about leaving my current career. Thank you!

[@karenthomas2638]

I always enjoy watching your videos . I live near Geneva ! Its so easy to get to the city from the airport !

[@LiveInSydney]

As always, very enjoyable - thanks Bernie in Sydney

[@anne-marielithgow1977]

Another great video paul . 😊

[@Traveler-rv]

What a beautiful village and what a rush that jump had to be. 👍

[@alexchan4304]

Please make more vlog! Always a pleasure watching your adventures

[@ruthnoronha8206]

Paul I love your channel. I just discovered it.

[@Whiteninja123]

Love the videos. I know you're busy but I wish you could make more videos!

[@mjotd8670]

peculiar shaped "rock balls"/ bungee jumping off a ravine....join the dots...Great video

[@billsmafia1757]

Love your videos, you inspired me to get my pilots license, getting my private out of MMU, which is right next to ewr.

[@theworldofjohn1972]

Awesome adventure! Great vid as always!

[@ethanpadilla2205]

You are one of the great inspirations for me to start my journey to become an airline pilot. Hoping to start flight school soon!✈️

[@TinaR622]

Great video, what an amazing experience…wow, you are more adventurous than me for sure 😂

[@joelleholmes1658]

I love that you’re watching Kara & Nate!

[@corinardh8635]

❤your video. Never miss

[@arigon87]

Awesome video! Grindelwald is just a 2 hour drive from here. Maybe I should go visit it 😅

[@matthewreeve5012]

I'm so glad you flew into Geneva! Last time I commented I worked next to ZRH, now I'm working next to GVA, and in the aviation industry. I also now have my Swiss PPL! I hope one day we can fly together, but I don't mind if it's your plane or mine! You'll be very welcome.

[@jamesburns9706]

I love the 757. Such a beautiful aircraft.

[@mjsimmons2605]

Wow. You guys are soooo brave. 😮 Love these adventures you go on. 😂

[@lisaappelmolly]

Love you videos!! So inspiring. After watching this one I may need to do the jump when we get to Switzerland! Planning to bike down a volcano in Hawaii in January--partly due to watching your videos!

[@mylayoverlife]

That’ll be so fun!

[@kymw7833]

Thanks Paul your very inspiring new viewer ,and aviation geek,never reached my dream of being a pilot due to colour blindness,so i live vicariously through you mentour,and other flight guys oh and Dutch Pilot Girl Michelle,but your the fun guy well done mate Kym Adelaide

[@RivelKAMP]

Love the video! Keep em coming!

[@CloudSurfer13]

What an inspiring video. Glad I found your channel!

[@smgebrov]

I’m sure that you are a great pilot but i think you are a better KZbinr lol Just love watching your videos from A to Z. Awesome content. God bless Captain 👨‍✈️

[@mylayoverlife]

Appreciate that!

[@antaltakacs9767]

Paul. Love your videos. Thanks

[@AlanLawSydney]

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing!

[@zaiivonhest]

Fun video! And great attitude. I actually did the same swing in Grindelwald in 2022. Good tips for nervous fliers. Any tips for sources that helps someone who hates flying because of claustrophobia? I honestly have 0 fear of the flying part or turbulance, I just hate being confined with 100's of people. Turbulance even helps a bit I feel like because it takes other peoples attention and makes it less likely that they notice that i'm wildly uncomfortable.

[@jeffhark5239]

WOW! Another amazing adventure.

[@DC-pr2bq]

Will be in the Lauterbrunnen Valley in mid-October. You have not influenced me to jump off a cliff, but I'm ready for other adventures.

[@dwdw90]

I used to drive touring coaches to Lauterbrunnen, Wilderswil and Interlaken. An amazing part of the world.

[@mylayoverlife]

What a beautiful place to drive!

[@dwdw90]

@@mylayoverlife Tiring work! I drive trains in London now…..huge amount of study but I remember looking up at the planes arriving in to LHR and thought to myself that if someone can be trained to fly those then I can achieve what I had set out to do….and now 5 years later! Time flies!!!

[@mrugman]

Hey Paul, Just wanted to let you know, we followed your suggestion to tip the flight attendants. On our Halifax-London Air Canada flight in July, we gave each of the 4 flight attendants a $10 Starbucks gift card. It felt great to do, but the reaction from the Flight attendants made it so worth it. Each one made it a point to come by and gave us a very heart felt thank you 😍. We will definitely do it again, they work hard for very little thanks. Great tip!!!

[@mylayoverlife]

Awesome! That’s what they love the most. ☕️

[@spacebaron2117]

We have two adrenaline junkies, talking a hundred words a second! 😆😆😆 Must have been fun! Wish I was there!

[@beltonfields2311]

I hope you had a great trip and enjoy your weekend

Wish you were the pilot for my upcoming trip to Venice, IT (10/12). Would love to just say hi as I really enjoy all your videos and your adventures!

[@ladybuginc.4189]

See, watching this, makes me want to go back to being a flight attendant… I’m applying to Delta, for the third time!,,,

[@kathleenmorrow3792]

Paul, don't push your luck with such dangerous jumps.

[@Trxin-ri7wi]

This video is so unfair. I was so excited until I realized it was only 10 minutes long.😢 come on I was happy please post longer vids.😊

[@loiswhite503]

Wow it's beautiful, thanks guys love the video,

[@user-ju9zy6ot1n]

Just Love your Videos🥰 ✈️

[@regularguy3665]

I don’t know how long you’d get on a layover in London or if you’d have time to do it, but there’s an adrenaline park in Wales called Zip World which may be worth your perusal.

[@adilmts3793]

Excellent commander

[@kazzicup]

I don't know what I am more afraid of. Flying or yacht sailing ?
