Hello, 

 

I am hopefully Flying for the first time by myself to Nashville from Chicago. I have severe anxiety and was curious if anyone knew if there was a way to get a guide that can help me through security and help me get to my gate? Thank you so much in advance!

If you knew of someone who would be willing to help you they can request a gate pass. That would allow them to go through security with you.

Hey there. Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but I need your help dealing with my anxiety. I'm also about to have my first-ever flight, so I'm really nervous. Maybe there's any med that can help me?
