> she said that in the years of knowing Blasey Ford and being friends with her, she already knew that she had a hard time being in enclosed spaces and she also did not enjoy flying

So it's well known to her friends that she doesn't like flying. If she's been lying she's been doing it for some time. It's not something she made up for this situation.

>But to be so frightened to request that multiple Congressmen flys across the country to see you, when you already fly multiple times every year...

It doesn't seem improbably to me. I would literally do the exact same thing.

Despite flying multiple times per year. If a group of people asked me to fly out to meet them, I'd request that they fly out to meet me instead. Particularly if this group of people was likely going to be hostile anyway.

Only if they refused, and I was sufficiently motivated, would I agree to fly out to meet them.

I can fly. I don't like to fly, and if there's a way around it I'll take it. This seems to be exactly what she's saying.
