The Blink-182 drummer would be traveling from Sydney to Perth in the Land Down Under, which is a nearly five-hour flight.
“I Know I Got Angels Watching Over Me,” he scribbled on the ticket.
The rocker also drew a cross below the emotional message.
In another Instagram post, Travis suggested he was finally home in LA and on a “tour break.”
He seemed to be applying gel on his tatted chest.
THE PLANE CRASH
Travis’ fear of flying came from his doomed flight in September 2008.
He boarded the plane with his assistant Chris Baker, security guard Charles “Che” Still, his best friend Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein.
Both Chris and Charles lost their lives, as well as two pilots, on the Learjet 60, which crashed shortly after takeoff in South Carolina.
His pal, DJ AM, died about a year after the crash.
Travis’ friend overdosed as he struggled to cope with the impact of the horrific event.
Following an investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB) report attributed the accident to tire bursts during takeoff.
The pilot’s decision to abort at high speed was not recommended for the aircraft.
In his 2015 memoir, Can I Say, Travis described the aftermath of the tragic 2008 event, including his battle with PTSD and suicidal thoughts.
He was left with third-degree burns covering about 65 percent of his body.
Travis underwent 26 surgeries in total and suffered a broken back that was fractured in three places.
“I was in the craziest pain ever, like nothing I had ever felt before. I didn’t think I was going to survive,” he wrote in his memoir.
For the first time since the horrific night in 2008, Travis flew with his then-girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian, 49, in August 2021, after they dated for about six months.
FLYING TOGETHER
In November 2023, the now-husband/wife duo, Kourtney and Travis, welcomed their first child, Rocky Thirteen Barker.
In early March, The Kardashians star showed off Rocky’s bare foot and the colorful sky while pointing the camera at the window from inside her private jet.
The former E! star and her two children, Penelope, 11, and Reign, 8, have been touring the world with Travis and his band Blink-182 for their tour.
The alternative rock band made their way around Australia and New Zealand for their concert shows.
