Hi there Just wanted to ask Captain Keith: Last time I flew we had quite bad turbulence and I had a pretty bad time. This was in the middle of summer, but the weather had changed quite suddenly the…

Hi all I loathe flying with a passion but I do it because I don't see the point in leading a restricted life. Anyway, I'm doing it again on Saturday, had been really really hoping that I could just…

BRILLIANT WELL DONE

Hi there
I was prescribed valium for one flight but never took the pills. This was for several reasons: firstly, I have heard of a few people taking it and it not really helping them. I took some as a child when nervous about the dentist and rememb…
hi again
Well, I survived! As it turned out, I did end up flying on the worst possible day weather-wise, as you'll have seen if you're based in the UK. Storms, clouds - everything really. We ended up waiting a long time at the airport as flights we…
Hey Irka
You sound a lot like me - funnily enough I also flew to Dublin and back to London this week - you can see how nervous I was if you read my earlier posts when I was completely freaking out about the bad weather. As it happened, we flew on t…
That is very true - thanks for your optimism. I'll do my best to take some of it with me!
Hey...that was last time...tomorrow's a new opportunity.

Hey, thanks. I was only on the weather channels because of a stupid article that appeared on my email homepage saying that there are going to be storms tomorrow, so I then felt I had to check the actual report for where I'm going to be in the vain h…
Make sure you book for the course we've got in December and you won't have to keep going thru' this will you?
What on earth are you doing looking at all those weather channels? What are you looking for? A forecast that says the weather will be fine…
Stop worrying so
The last one was the last one...resolve with all your might and love for your partner that come what may with your feelings....your feelings are only feelings....they dont and won't affect what happens on the flight. I'm just looki…
Thanks again
We're just going to Dublin (from London) as I thought it would be an easy flight. I don't think I could deal with it being a bad one as the last one I did was terrible and I need a good one now to give me the confidence to 'get over' t…
thanks so much for your quick response!
I just don't know, it's all very confusing as I'm looking at 3 or 4 different weather channels. All seem to suggest wind speeds of about 47 km/hr at that time (midday) but now it looks like possibly the 'gale…
Your imagination will be wilder than the weather will be.
So many people on this network have felt like you...stick with it..face your fear and though this flight may be hard for you, the next one will be a little easier and the one after that will…
They'll cancel it if it's not suitable to fly.
Will the storm be present when you fly...they don't last all day do they?
Heavy rain doesn't matter any more to a plane than anything else.
Things never turn out to be as bad as anxious flyers ever i…
Thank you. I've replied in the other thread. Will be extremely grateful if you could reply before tomorrow as I really don't want to do this without an idea of what to expect. My own imagination is not what I want to be going on right now.

- Hi and welcome to the LOGBOOK24/7 social network for fearful flyers. I normally try to welcome new members as they arrive but recently I’ve been away on holiday and since arriving home have been involved in hospital taxi duties for the family.
So a very warm welcome, I hope you’ll enjoy the network and find it useful to you in overcoming your anxieties about flying. We don’t have rules with regard to posting stories, experiences and emotions about flying. We’re all here to help each other. Despite my 50 years in flying I can only support and give you the facts the real help comes from people like you, sharing your feelings with people like you.
Talking about flying and sharing strategies is invaluable in overcoming your fear. Please feel free to ask me as many questions as you need, and if you don’t understand the answer or I’ve misunderstood you, keep on and on at me until I’ve answered your question. I’m here to help.
We’ve got a lot of help and information on our website (anxiousflyers.com) and our shop has all the help you’re ever likely to need (Book, CD, DVD, Guide, Audio Courses) .
May I suggest, and I know this as a result of helping people to overcome their fears, that you get on with it as soon as you can. Don’t wait to do a course or get a book...there’s no better time than now even though you probably feel that you’re not quite ready now. The quicker you fix the problem the longer you’ll spend being free worrying thoughts rather than adding to them.
Remember, I’m here to help
There’s a page that deals with the particular worries that you may have mentioned on the sign up page. When you’ve read that go to the START HERE page of the site to begin your journey to overcome your fear of flying.
