How can I cure my fear of flying?

hiya i can really sympathise with you, i went to malta last year and i was truly petrified, I tried hard not to think about it the more you think the worse you make it for yourself, it really wasn't that bad and the views were fantastic. Don't get me wrong there was a few scary moments i thought my ears were gonna explode or i was gonna throw up! but i did it and survived I'm not gonna be hurrying to fly again any time soon but if i HAVE to i will and can and i was so proud of myself what achievement WOOHOO dont think about it just do it xxx

You seem to have tried everything, what is it about flying because i hate flying loads but have to do it lots, the only thing that ever helps me is sitting next to or opposite a Air steward and i alwasy think that if something was worth worrying you could tell by how they are looking. When i fly i always imagine the plane crashing so its not that i am scared of flying i am scared of the plane being in the air and not flying. But let me know if you find a cure.

Think about the place you're going to.

Think there are more road accidents than plane accidents.

Think nothing. Sometimes the plane even move. You forget you're on a plane.

You can read, watch the films, listen to the music. Or try to sleep.

I've heard , many people speaking about the fear of flying and then become the MOST EXPERIENCED passengers.

Well first you have to tell yourself that your fear of flying is irrational. You have a 10x greater chance dying DRIVING to the airport then on your plane. 2 million commerical flights on average per year in the united states and we get about 1 crash every 3 or 4 years. not bad huh?

If that doesnt work. Try getting a perscription of something that will calm you. If you dont want to do that, a cocktail or two can do wonders.. it works for me.

I usually try watching DVD's on an airplane to take my mind off the fact that I'm 35,000 feet in the air. Some that I would recommend are: Lost (seasons 1 &2), Passenger 57, Executive Decision, United 93, and Flight of the Phoenix

Some of the major airlines offer a weekend course, where you are shown all aspects of flying and flight. They explain all the pros and cons. At the end they even take you on a short flight. I know Virgin Atlantic and British Airways offer this, although it costs about £200. check the internet sites

Pray! Prayer is very powerful. God says in His Word...

2Tim1:7

7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Ask the Lord to take away all fear from you.

You can also ask your pastor to pray for you.

I pray the best.

God Bless!

Get plenty of exercise and good diet to keep yourself fit for the flight. Have a medical check up before you go to confirm your fitness. and relax, think more about your wedding.

take a sleeping pill on the plane and sit on the seat near the isle of the plane, close your eyes and pretend your in a car,

Would you be thinking about the flying if the person of your dreams offered you a ticket to a tropical destination?
