She helped calm his fight-or-flight response.<\/p>\n

A Delta Air Lines flight attendant is being praised for her compassionate response to a passenger who was freaking out at 30,000 feet. The empathetic deed was captured by a fly-witness and uploaded to TikTok, where it amassed over 3.3 million views.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis flight attendant was remarkable,\u201d\u00a0 gushed the video\u2019s poster in the caption. \u201cThe guy in front of me was having an anxiety attack, and she sat with him and talked him through it, absolutely amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The footage, taken on an undisclosed flight, shows the composed crew member kneeling in front of the nervous flyer as she walks him through some calming techniques.<\/p>\n

\u201cClose your eyes, breathe through your nose four times,\u201d the crew member instructed while demonstrating the respiration method. \u201cNow, very slowly let it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The video went viral with many commenters lauding the air hostess\u2019 attempt to relax the man\u2019s turbulent nerves. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat an amazing human,\u201d said one impressed viewer, while another wrote, \u201cas someone who has panic attacks I love this woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t long before word of her mile-high meditation therapy reached the woman\u2019s family with a commenter claiming to be her son, writing, \u201cThat\u2019s my mom! She\u2019s been a flight attendant for years, but more than that, she\u2019s always been someone who genuinely cares about people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHelping others is just who she is so proud to see the world recognize that!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The video poster responded, \u201cShe was amazing! Kudos to your mom I told her on the flight how amazing she is. I hope she feels the love.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a fellow Delta flight attendant pledged to send the clip to their Atlanta base manager \u201cso she can get recognition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delta representatives told the Post, \u201cThe actions of this flight attendant represent the Delta Difference and are a perfect example of why our 100,000 employees are the best in the business at taking care of our customers every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Cleveland Clinic<\/a>, around 25 million people adults in the US suffer from aerophobia or fear of flying.<\/p>\n

Specific triggers entail everything from take-off and landing, thoughts about crashes or other disasters and, of course, turbulence.<\/p>\n

These fears can prompt the person to avoid flying altogether or experience panic attacks before or during flights, as was the case with the aforementioned flyer.<\/p>\n

In September, a Ryanair flight attendant shared tips <\/a>on how nervous flyers can remain calm during turbulence.<\/p>\n

These included using noise-canceling headphones, writing a list of exciting activities that\u2019ll happen upon arrival, and employing breathing exercises.<\/p>\n
