Do you have a fear of flying?
I have a great fear. I feel like something is going to happen to the plane, or that we'll encounter a lot of turbulence (which I hate). It's just something about being confined in a tight space that makes me agitated as well as scared.
Well I come from a family of pilots so I have no fear at all .. but your fear of flying isn't irrational...there're simple tips you can use when on board a plane to keep those butterflies at bay..
Air travel , i found exciting. From high altitude it is wonderful to see landscapes, greenery, sea and many more.
Fear is a mental disorder momentarily but entirely psycologiacl, when we travel by boat it goes up and down. Automobiles also crash on the streets.
Fear of accident is a mental breakdown.
I enjoyed air travel lot and even air pockets where first time tourist may fear but it is just like boat is floating on water.
I think it's all about not having control and placing your life in someone else's hands. Plus it's hard to avoid turbulence on most flights these days, so you have a valid point worrying about that.
I find it more boring that anything else. That's why it's good to bring something to read or listen to.
But if you ever try to conquer your fear, I would bring a close friend who understands your fear and start off by going on a very short flight first. Then gradually build up the time frame.
I LOVE FLYING! I have such a restrictive life and job, flying just sets me free! I worry about everything but myself so no fears as long as it's me on the plane.
I have always enjoyed flying as to me it is exciting to be able to look out over new countries and see new places . I love the flights where they serve you food and drink free . It is a time to relax and read or watch a movie without housework etc to worry about !From this sea plane to Jumbos ! Love them all !

The latest restriction to Air Travel: Passengers must be in their seats one hour prior to landing...no getting up. And Nothing in the Passengers lap. No getting up ahead of time to grab your jacket or carry-on. (As I understand it)Just thinking that: What about someone who really has to go bad...

Hi! I am currently planning to take my 3.5 year old daughter on a short trip to the US. The problem is I have developed this irrational fear of flying. It's never been a problem with me before I had my daughter. I used to fly at least once or twice a year, every year, and I...

Do you have any tips about packing a suitcase for air travel?One of the big problems of modern air travel is avoiding excess baggage charges. This is even worse on the return journey!
