Are you afraid of flying?

People with a fear of flying often experience intense, persistent anxiety when thinking about air travel and even more so during a flight. Many avoid flying altogether to reduce the distress it causes. Take-off, turbulence, and bad weather are typically the most anxiety-triggering moments. In more extreme cases, symptoms like panic attacks or nausea can occur simply from talking about flying or seeing an aircraft. Professional support is sometimes needed, with cognitive behavioural therapy being one of the most effective treatment approaches.

Common Causes of Fear of Flying

Understanding the Triggers Behind Flight Anxiety

A fear of flying can be onset from a number of triggers for different people with varying flying experience. Some of the most common reasons are outlined below.

Turbulence

Unpredictable air movements during flight

Understanding Turbulence

Turbulence is a common trigger of the fear of flying. When flying, it's inevitable that turbulence will be encountered, highlighting the importance of understanding safety measures.

Did you know?

Planes are designed to withstand 150% of the worst weather conditions.

Claustrophobia

Fear of confined spaces

Overcoming Claustrophobia

Fear of being trapped in enclosed spaces like planes prevents people from activities others take for granted. These feelings are tied to evolutionary brain hardwiring.

Pro Tip

Choose aisle seats and practice breathing exercises during flights.

Panic Disorder

Managing Panic

Testimonials

"Brilliant! Please give a massive thanks to Steve who went above and beyond guiding me through the 737 experience yesterday. Very enthusiastic and informative whilst also tailoring the session for maximum flying time and accommodating for my limited aviation knowledge. Would 10/10 recommend."

Tom G.

"I recently completed the fear of flying course with Flight Experience and it was really great, well delivered by an experienced airline pilot with real experience. We went through the whole design of the aircraft, how they fly, the back systems built in for all of the systems, the misconceptions and it has really helped relieve some of the concerns I have with flying. We then had teh opportunity to go through some of the "scarry" situations we had covered in the simulator which really shows you what is like for the pilots, the ability of the aircraft and its equipment.
Highly recommend for anyone that has concerns with flying"
