Propranolol (Inderal) and Lorazepam (Ativan)?

I have a plane flight coming up and I get bad panic attacks. My doc gave me the beta blocker (propranolol) and a benzo (Ativan) to take as needed for panic attacks. He said they are ok to take together, but I just want to know if any of you have any experience with it. I'm nervous with taking meds.

The beta blocker is for my HR which gets really high during my panic attacks and is uncomfortable to say the least. The Ativan is for the psychological symptoms. Should I take the beta blocker and hold on to the Ativan just in case, or vice versa, or just take them both before the plane trip? I can't decide.
