Right, need some advice on getting over a fear of flying.

Well, not actually of flying itself, its more a fear of the 'process' of flying, if that makes sense.

I've flown numerous times, European and transatlantic, alone and with people. I know all the stats. I just don't particularly like it.

As I get older (and especially with the way the business has, excuse the pun, taken off) I'm having to fly more but conversely my discomfort at the thought of flying seems to increase each time, making me quite anxious leading up to a flight.

Anyone had the same problem and overcome through hypnosis / course or similar?

thanks

BA do a very good course IIRC mate, I think that several other airlines have jumped on the bandwagon too. It's a common fear and is usually very easily sorted, you've really no need to resort to hypnotism or drugs - a course like the one offered by BA will most likely sort it there and then. You'll probably even enjoy it!

On a personal note- I used to get nervous taking off and landing, and with turbulence. Im ok now- the more I fly the better I deal with it. I just kind of convinced myself that if something goes wrong, then it goes wrong and its out of my control. Got to the point where I dont bat an eyelid now at any of it and I am totally comfortable doing it.
Also doing a couple of flying lessons in a cessna helped a lot, as I then understood (broadly speaking) why the plane does what it does. You could try that? There was a noticeable change before and after I had flown the cessna with how calm I was when flying so it definitely worked for me.

My Mother-in Law went on a BA organised course. £600 or so from memory.

It worked, she flew lots afterwards.




















Until the plane crash.

Looks like a big model plane, just to lively and bouncy for a big boy plane imho but fun to watch

Learn to fly yourself. Being a passenger becomes more interesting and I can assure you you'll worry less.
