Flying is easy enough rAndy aL Send a noteboard - 22/12/2009 07:18:05 AM
1. Do you have misgivings about getting into steel cans with wings and hurtling miles above the earth?

1a. WHY NOT?


Sure, I get travel sickness and don't get the option of looking out a window. Oh, you meant about the flying steel can thing? Those things are actually safer than being on the ground.

2. If you do, how do you distract yourself during the particularly horrible time called "takeoff?"


I will not fear. Fear is the mindkiller...

It had to be said.

2a. Is takeoff not your least favorite time?

2b. What is?


No, probably the in-flight meals. Those things taste bad enough when I'm not feeling sick. Of course, rolling down the runway is less smooth than flying so it's not my favorite time either.

3. Provide hugs and reassurance that this voyage, like every single one I've taken before, will not end in horrible disaster.


Well, there you go. Planes don't crash very easily. You're statistically more likely to be struck by lightning (and in case you're wondering, planes have protection from lightning). nothing is going to happen.

4. Seriously how do you not want to cry when you go into a plane IT IS TERRIFYING


It's more annoying being stuck in a seat in economy for over 10 hours.

The silly thing is that I fly at least twice a year, and more if you count individual flights. Ghavrel - 22/12/2009 07:05:38 AM 658 Views

Recognize that the fear is not a logical one. If tha doesn't help, it's unlikely that anything will. Aemon - 22/12/2009 09:39:32 AM 774 Views
Note the use of the word "phobia." Planes are like spiders! Ghavrel - 22/12/2009 02:25:52 PM 651 Views

It has to do with the lack of control. (WARNING: I'm not assuring you of anything) Tom - 23/12/2009 04:20:22 AM 628 Views
Your honesty, as ever, is appreciated. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/12/2009 04:59:47 AM 264 Views
