Can Travelers Eliminate Their Fear of Flying?
If your fear of flying is very 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 the 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, leave your seatbelt on as much as possible so if air turbulence does occur you won’t get jarred or bounced about as much.
If you can, avoid eating or drinking any food or beverage that contains sugar, caffeine, or alcohol.
It will help a lot if you try to stay positive and always think only positive thoughts.
If you can fly at off-peak times, you will probably feel less stressed as there are 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.
