I'm not going to lie: One of the worst things that can happen to you on your vacation is sitting next to me on an airplane. There is _nothing_ I hate more than flying, and as


_Alt.Latino_ co-host Felix Contreras can attest, I sometimes take out my anxiety on whoever's nearby. It's all very unfortunate, given how much I have to travel, but I've come


up with a few ways to ease my fears. A window seat goes a long way, as does a glass of wine or two, but most important is good music. One of the best things that's happened to me was


when airlines started letting passengers listen to music on headphones during takeoff. For this week's episode of _Alt.Latino_, I'm sharing some of the songs that accompany me when


I have to fly. It's just a handful of tracks, so if you have Spotify, I invite you to check out some others. And, if you have songs that calm _your_ nerves when you're flying,


please share them with us in the comments — I can guarantee that your suggestions will come in handy. Copyright 2022 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org. 1 of 9  — x x / x 2 of 9  —
