The only problem is that now I have tasted what is on the "other side of the fence" and it is going to be tough for me to return to what it is that I would normally purchase.
I don't think I've experienced that yet as I haven't flown much and absolutely hate flying. I'm curious as to how my experience might be now that I think about it; would the anxiety be less as a result of the luxuries?
What was the reason for the cheaper ticket also? Was it timing?
I can't say why it was cheaper, I have no idea but it might have been because the flight appeared to be sold out and they wanted to sell all the tickets.
Will it reduce your anxiety as far as flying is concerned? I doubt it.
I think much of my anxiety is pre-flight anyway. The worries of getting your gate, going through security. I flew two times recently within a month and it was fine once I was in the air, but most of the fear came before the flights.
sure, I still experience that as well. Seeing a long as hell line when you know you flight is boarding in half an hour is really anxiety inducing. I tend to get to airports much earlier than I actually need to be there in order to mitigate this. Sometimes it works, sometimes I just end up sitting on the other side for hours wondering why the hell I went to the airport 2 hours ahead of time :)
