16 Best Apps for Anxious Flyers (2024)

Audible

I've never been the type of person who can sit back and watch a movie on an iPad or a small screen in front of me. I'd prefer to lean back, get comfy in my seat, close my eyes, and hopefully catch a few z's on the way to my destination. 

There are a few ways you can do this, but one of my favorites is via Audible, the popular audio book and podcasts app for iOS and Android. 

Audible features a wide-range of books and podcasts from your favorite authors and narrators. You'll almost certainly find something that will help you keep your stress levels down.

One of my all-time favorites is A Brief History of Time from the well-known Stephen Hawking. Interesting enough to keep you awake, slow enough to put you in a trance and help you fall asleep.

Just like with music, it can be extremely comforting to hear a familiar voice through your headphones.
