Hi Lois
Great question....one of the most important fuel considerations is just that. Most people would think that the amount of fuel that we carry is connected with what we'd do if an engine failed...now you know that truth!
Re your friends fligh…
Thanks Keith. I'll be coming alone as he will need to look after the kids. There is one question that I was saving for the course, but perhaps like you say try not to bring baggage with me.
A friend, who never used to be fearful flew back from Norw…
Hi Lois
Keep an open mind because there are very few people who can't be helped..and you have a great reason for dealing with this fear. Before you come to the course try to forget all the baggage you bring from previous flights and experiences. Re…
Hi
I just wanted to say I'm the same. I've just returned from my honeymoon in the south of france. We went by train with my two small children (1 and 3). It took 13 hours as we took the car on the overnight service. My husband (having already put up…
Waow, the difference between 2 hours and 7 hours!
At this moment, I am praying to get through one more trip by air, back to the US - as there is no other method available for us to get back right now.
Thereafter though, to see my family/homecountr…
Hello
I am exactly the same. My partner flies around Europe most weeks on business and I'm sure he will be fine and come back, yet I can't seem to get on a plane of my own!! Never thought of it like that!

Hi there
I just wanted to send you a little message to let you know that you are not alone. I too have had thoughts about not surviving plane trips and that if I manage to get to a destination in one piece then I will never get back again as somethi…
Hi there
Thanks for your reply. It really helps to know that there are other people with similar concerns to me! I went to France last week by train and I have to admit it was totally stressfree with lovely views but I couldnt help but think what to…
Hi again Sarah
...nice to chat on the phone and put a voice to your profile. Right now I'm off to the simulator so I'll send you the links I promised you later today or tomorrow. In the mean time congratulations for facing your fear in the way that…
Hey Sarah,
I too have been travelling by train - I really enjoy it, find it stress free and love the views! But, i too would hate to feel that I would never fly again, or let it stop me going places.
I can vouch that previously using this site, re…
Sarah
You will be flying one day... and perhaps imagining it should be the first step, rather than seeing yourself as a fearful flyer why not imagine that you can do it. You don't have to take a flight yet ...in fact you're not thinking about takin…
Hi everyone.
This is my first time on this website. My boyfriend heard Captain Keith speak on TalkSport and I felt it would be a good place to share my experience and my choices.
I have flown many times in my life, I have never enjoyed flying, inste…
Thanks for joining the network and I hope you’ll find it useful. Our aim is to give help support and encouragement to anyone who has a fear of flying. If you want to tell us your story please do so, if you prefer to just observe and pick up hints and tips from people then that’s fine too. We want you to use the network in the way that’s best for you.
I’m here to answer any of your questions and I‘ll try to do so as quickly as I can although sometimes I get a bit busy and miss some posts. Just keep pestering me and I’ll answer you.
If you think there’s something we should add to the network, let me know and I’ll see if we can incorporate it.
Finally an apology for this slightly less than personal welcome...as you can imagine keeping up with things is very time consuming and there are many calls on my time...but rather than not acknowledge your joining I thought this pre-recorded message would be slightly better!
And finally finally to those of you who joined ages ago and who I missed welcoming on the day you signed up a special apology.
I look forward to meeting you through the network. There is a chat facility which I keep open whenever I’m on line so just click the button and you can IM me.
