Travel Info How can I overcome my fear of flying? Does a plane in about a 45 min of travel ever fall? I feel very scared.? Travel Tips The first time I flew from my home city to Barcelona many years ago I too was a little apprehensive and afraid that I would not make it to my destination. I was lucky enough to be in the next seat to a British Airways flight engineer who reassured me about the safety of flight. At one point I looked out of the window and saw that the wings were shaking slightly, he patiently explained that this was meant to happen as if the wingtips did not move up and down with the movement of the air over them then they would fall off. It was a good and common sense answer. Flying is the safest form of transport with very few planes crashing and those that do are usually from airlines in third world countries who do not have a good track record of maintenance. Try the sites below and I think you will be reassured. Now I love to fly and take the opportunity whenever it arises. The only problem with flying these days is the bloody airport security, especially in Heathrow. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/fear_of_fly... http://www.flyingwithoutfear.com/... Other Travel Tips don't feel scared i used to be really scared of flyinging. the chances of your plane falling in that amount of time is very slim. even flights over the ocean are very safe and well planned. if you're still scared \, read up on flying, it'll make you feel better to know exactlly how safe you are * good luck* well since I've never been on a plane i don't really know what to say but what i would do is just take a bunch of prescription meds to get myself out of it lol or ask the attendants if they have a huge bottle of liquor lol no the last one i wouldn't do but i would get a sleeping pill or something to knock me out when i get on the plane. lol hope you can overcome your fear. my advice prolly won't help but then again maybe it will .lol I don't have a fear of flying, there are minimal chances of an accident. I do have a dislike for airports since I've traveled by air after 9-11. Walking is quicker. Planes are alot safer than cars. I think it is common to be scared. My boyfriend and I are are going to Cozumel next months and he is driving me nuts already because he is scared of flying. If you are really that terrified talk to your doctor they can normally prescribe something for anxiety. Planes fall all the time. Especially on short flights. They don't have time to get going good. Make sure your bills are up to date b4 you fly |
