How To Conquer Your Fear Of Flying

02/18/2014
Flying has become an usual means of transport, that takes us to distant destinations in a fast and efficient way. That’s right, in the last decade traveling has become easier and more affordable than some years ago.  

But for some people this experience is filled with stress and anxiety. Thinking about them, here at Brit Olom Tours in Miami we have a few tips that may help them to overcome this fear. 

Identify Your Fear

Phobias are irrational behaviors towards an out of proportion danger. Most of the times it’s not fear of flying by itself, it could also be claustrophobia or the inability to get off the plane. A big step to overcome the fear of flying is to find what triggers it: turbulence, fear of heights or even terrorism.

There is a successful cognitive behavioral therapy, that can show you how to shut those triggers off. 

The Statistics

Bluntly said, the chance of an aircraft accident is almost zero. Statistically everytime you ride your car you have a greater chance to be involved in a crash than when you are in the air. 

Avoid Coffee & Alcohol 

A drink will help to relax you, but remember that when you are flying your body dehydrates faster and this won’t help at all. Also, caffeine is a stimulant that will only trigger your anxiety!

Medications?

If it’s an emergency and you really have to go on a plane talk to your doctor and explain the situation. He will prescribe you some sedatives that will help you to have a pleasant flight. 

Remember that this condition is nothing to be ashamed of, so make sure to tell it to your stewardess and crew. They have experience dealing with it.

We hoped that this guide was useful so you won’t miss one of the greatest things is life: Traveling.
