I post this 8 minute video with the hopes others can share tips on
what they do to make first time passengers comfortable on their first
flight. Comments here or in the video most appreciated.


From watching the video, I'd say I have pretty similar views on how to
best deal with a newbie passenger.

The main thing is to explain what you're going to do before you do
anything. A surprised passenger is an unhappy passenger. You were really
great with that on the video.

The thing with keeping the turns shallow is good too. That one depends a
lot on the individual. If I have someone who has indicated a "daredevil"
side, I'll be more aggressive, but with a nervous passenger I'll keep
the turns as shallow as reasonably possible.
