16 Best Apps for Anxious Flyers (2024)

Calm

Calm is another favorite anti-anxiety apps and it could help you get some sleep on the plane during a long trip. 

The Calm app features guided meditation sessions that are available in lengths of 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 or 25 minutes. There's also unguided timed meditation and open-ended meditation if that suites you best. 

The app comes with breathing exercises to help you relax during moments of panic, for some of you that could be during takeoff or the descent, and it also comes with music to help you meditate, relax, or fall asleep in your seat. 

If you'd prefer to hear a story to help get your mind off the flight, turbulence, or that crying kid down the row, try a story to help you get some shuteye. 

Calm is available for iOS and Android and to get full access to what the app offers you'll need to pay a monthly or yearly subscription.
