If you’re traveling solo, you’re locked inside a small space with a group of strangers for the duration of your flight. So what can you do if you feel emotional when you fly? Self-regulate what you are watching or listening to, and avoid media that would normally make you feel emotional, De Luca suggests. That’s easier than ever – and may even change how often crying while flying happens. “Crying by yourself isn’t memorable to you the way crying on a plane is,” said Groening.
