Leila,
If it helps comfort you I would bet my life savings quite happily that your plane journey will be completely non-eventful and you will land worrying what all the fuss was about.
Although turbulance is not nice these planes can tolerate way…
Kate,
I am glad this technique works for you. But I have found the opposite helps for me. I find if I look out the window and see the ground moving below and see the wings taking the load of the plane and moving slightly and all the other perfectly…
I love the feeling of happiness during landing - because I did it again (I flew)...Do you remember how you felt after all these last flights? I keep that nice feeling in me and remain it before the next flight - it's partly a motivation for me.
As…
Hi Phin,
Great to read about your travels and glad you enjoyed your trip to Europe and seeing your relatives.
Most fearful fliers feel more scared and apprehensive during the days before their flight but armed with knowledge, most, usually find once…
Hey all
Final flight back to Toronto this morning, seven hour flight. Was nervous for take off but not as bad as normal. Nervous for the first 2 or 3 minutes. I counted to 150 or so and after that felt fine for the rest. I hope I am close to overco…
Kate,
I was nervous a few weeks before my flight and that was very unusual as I normally get nervous on the day of.
I watched loads of videos of takeoff and some of landing on youtube and that helped a lot.
I also find when you fly the best thing t…
Kate you will be fine. I have flown 3 times in the past 10 days. And they were all very pleasant flights. I get nervous on take off, not sure why did not used to feel this way.
I think there are many reasons why people fear flying, lack of frequenc…
Hey All,
I notice a lot of people will post for help as they are afraid to fly. Then we never hear how the trip went. Which I think is a pity because there is a lot of fear and panic and then presumably the flights went fine and we never hear that.…
Thanks Elizabeth. We just arrived in Copenhagen at the apartment.
First flight was easy second flight I was nervous for takeoff but fine for the rest.
I am not sure why? But definitely better than normal.
On my first flight I was not nervous for an…
Phinn I was not sure about the time difference when I posted a message for Daria earlier today and thought you were probably already airbourne. -------- So here 's sending positive thoughts for your flight and hope you have a super break in Europe.-…
Off tomorrow packing today. Feeling pretty good have watched lots of takeoff vids, I actualy think with a couple of pints at the airport (nothing excessive) I will be fine. Wish me luck!
Hey all,
Well I am flying to Europe from Canada next week. I was very nervous about it after some news in the press but since then I have been more relaxed about it. A lot of planes fly over my house and with the good weather we have been sitting o…
Keith,
Just wanted to say you are a great man for providing all this support!
I am flying in a month and my house is under the flight path of many planes leaving Pearson. Normally I don't notice them, but I have been spending a lot of time outside…
