Hi everyone
It's been a while since my last post. Thought I'd get on here and let you all know how I got on with my most recent flight. It was last Monday from Bristol Airport (South West England) to Leeds Bradford Aiport (North England). My aircra…
Well done Terry!
I, too, find myself staring at the flight attendants (I'm sure they must think I'm slightly nuts!) and of course they're just going about their jobs. I find the fact that they look so relaxed incredibly reassuring. I'm off again on…

Well done! It's amazing what you've achieved. Now that you've done it once, you can do it again and again and again. Hopefully, you can also take away from this journey that your children and grandchildren aren't thousands of miles away, the…
Hi everyone
It's been a while since my last post so sorry about that. I have been visiting the site on a regular basis, just not logging in as much.
Well, I'm almost there, I think.
I flew home to Ireland last week because my Dad was sick. It was…

Dreams like this are perfectly normal. It doesn't mean it will come true. That only ever happens in movies. I dream sometimes that my Mum is still alive, when I wake though she is still dead. My dreams will never change this fact. I also have…
Hi Piroska
My sincerest heartfelt wishes to you and your family at this difficult time. Dealing with news like this is a dreadful enough without the added anxed of your flying fear.
I have just returned from Turkey. You can read my before and afte…
So great to read your post and I am sure many folk will find it reassuring to hear that the flights were far less frightening than you had imagined they would be before you set off. Armed with KNOWLEDGE from Keith and this site does put flying into…
Terry
The pleasure is ours and we're delighted things worked out...the flights weren't any different...just the way you thought about them I should think.
VERY WELL DONE!
Keith
Hi everyone
Why was I so worried? My flights to and from Turkey were just as you all predicted. Fine.
Outbound - Sat at Bristol airport at 6am, I wasn't feeling fantastic but I wasn't feeling as bad as I used to. We booked in to the Executive loun…
Hi Terry, Keep using all the strategies you used on your outward flight on your homeward flight
Think of all the facts Keith has shared.
Regarding the Air France disaster think how many planes fly safely every minute, every hour of every day of ever…
Hi everyone. Writing from my phone so excuse the mistakes. I have been in Turkey for two weeks and I have had a fab holiday. The flight here was so great. Take off was much easier. I kept saying, Keith told me this is fine. The plane can't help but…
Hi Daria
Lisbon is awonderful city. It's a must on evryone's list of destinations.
I'm flying to Turkey in less than 24 hours, a 4 and half hour flight, yikes!!! I, like you, am worried about what might happen during the flight. Turbulence and wha…
Hi Keith
Thanks for the reply. Hearing you say how easy it is for you lads and ladies at the front of the plane helps alot. I will remember that on Monday morning. "The plane will take off and I will be fine." x100
Thank you so much for this site.…
Terry
You'd be amazed at how simple taking off is to actually do. Have a look at the video of Jasper landing the simulator, and doing a go around and he'd never been at the controls before. There may be a video of him doing a take off. Dead simple…
Hello Terry... a warm welcome to you and thanks for all the posts so far!
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.
