Seatmate during takeoff: the phase, what you may hear, and why it is normal

Practise at home, at your own pace.

Seatmate uses methods studied in clinical research on fear of flying. You face the flight a little at a time, before you are on board.

  • Short steps that build upLearn how planes fly, then look at photos, listen to real cabin sounds and watch real footage, including light bumps.
  • See that fear overestimatesBefore each step you guess how scared you will feel. Afterwards you rate how it really was. Your chart shows the gap.
  • A plan for your tripAdd your flight and get one short step a day until you go, with a reminder the evening before.

On the day, someone calm beside you.

Flight mode follows your flight with your phone's GPS. It needs no internet, so it keeps working once you switch to airplane mode.

  • Every sound explainedThe thud of the landing gear, the engines going quieter after takeoff, the chimes. You hear what each one means before it happens.
  • A calm voice in your languageA natural-sounding voice for each of eleven languages. It is built into the app, so it works without a connection.
  • An honest bumps outlookWhere bumps are likely on your route, and how sure the forecast is. It never gives you a scary grade without context.
  • Calm in one tapGuided breathing with a long, slow exhale, and grounding for when your thoughts race.

Your answers stay on your phone.

There is no account and there are no ads or tracking. Your fear ratings, practice and flights are stored only on your device. Location is used only while flight mode is open, to tell takeoff from cruise, and it never leaves your phone. Read the full privacy policy.

Seatmate is not a medical device and does not replace professional care. If you have panic attacks outside of flying, or your fear began after a traumatic flight, please also talk to a doctor or therapist.
