Fear Of Flying - Can Airline Passengers Lessen This Fear?
The fear of flying is called Aviophobia, and millions of air travelers and potential flyers worldwide suffer from it, to a greater or lesser extent.
If you feel that your fear of flying is severe, you should enroll in an intensive treatment program. However, if your fear of flying is not severe, there are some things you can do that may help remedy this problem.
Sit in a seat over the wings, preferably not a window seat, so you can’t look down at the ground. When you sit over the airplane wings you will experience a much smoother ride.
If you can, you should leave your seatbelt on as much as possible, so if air turbulence suddenly occurs, you won?t get jarred or bounced about as much.
Try to avoid eating or drinking any food or beverage containing caffeine, sugar, or alcohol.
Always try and be positive and think only positive thoughts.
You may feel less stressed if you can fly at off-peak times as there are usually fewer airplane passengers to contend with.
Many airline passengers also suffer from the fear of heights and claustrophobia, in addition to the fear of flying, which can easily compound the problem.
