In the Hulu special "'Til Death Do Us Part Kourtney & Travis" released on Thursday, fans learned that Landon Barker's fear of flying almost caused him to miss Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian's Italian wedding in May 2022.

In the 90-minute special, Travis reveals that Landon backed out of two commercial flights to Italy before finally hopping on Kim Kardashian's private jet.

"We didn't know if Landon was gonna make it because he's so afraid of flying. I think he walked off two commercial flights," Travis said in the special. "When we saw him, I was so happy."

Once Landon arrived in Italy, he told his dad, "The scariest part was just landing and taking off."

In the special, Travis also talked about his fear of flying after surviving a September 2008 plane crash that killed four out of the six passengers on board. Both pilots, Travis' assistant Chris Baker, and his security guard, Charles "Che" Still died in the crash. Travis' best friend Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein, who survived the plane crash, died from a prescription drug overdose in August 2009, according to BuzzFeed News.

"As everyone knows, I'm kind of shook just flying anywhere. My plane crashed on takeoff, so takeoffs are terrible for me," he said. "I'm still equally afraid of flying as I always was, but it's not something that can hold me back or I can be afraid of anymore. But, yeah. I'm getting better."

In August 2021, Travis flew for the first time in 13 years with Kourtney by his side. In November 2022, Travis told GQ that Kourtney "stuck by me and toughed it out" as he faced his fear.

Travis' daughter Alabama Barker, 17, also had a fear of flying after her dad's accident. However, Alabama eventually overcame her fear and traveled with her dad in November 2021 to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, to celebrate the Blink-182 drummer's 46th birthday, E! News reported.

Travis praised his daughter in the comments section of his Instagram post after the trip, writing "I'm so proud of you for flying."

"'Til Death Do Us Part" is available to stream on Hulu.
