Air travelers who fear flying reveal their top rituals before boarding a plane

Many Americans may be worried about flying given some of the recent travel news.

There are some travelers who have always been concerned about boarding an aircraft - and who practice certain rituals to help give them some peace of mind while in the air. 

Brian Morris of Salt Lake City, Utah, created "Flight Deck: Fear Of Flying Flash Cards" to create and share tips for nervous flyers to use during takeoff procedures.

"There are lots of rituals that I hear about in my 'fear of flying' groups," Morris told Fox News Digital.

His video elicited the comments of many other nervous travelers about their flying anxiety.

Said another user, "100% I always touch the right side of the door as I enter."

"I like to bring a blanket every time I fly," added another person.

A TikToker commented, "I always kiss my hand and touch the plane as I board."

Morris said that he's seen and heard about many different airplane rituals practiced by people over time.

"One is to lift your feet while flying," said Morris. 

"Some play the same lucky song over and over during the flight in their noise-canceling headphones" - noting that he, too, has been guilty of this practice. 

He added, "I've certainly seen people tap the plane while boarding."

Blewett has also seen people listening to a particular song before takeoff.
