If the phobia of flying or air travel is restricting you from exploring the world then you may need to believe the hackneyed phrase that “Airline Travel is safe.”All those scared of air travel need to keep a few things in mind while they are on board and en route to some destination. If the hackneyed phrase is not good enough to alleviate your fears, you can resort to the boon of technology- Internet. Reading about the rare air crashes and the mechanisms of flying, safety measures involved, turbulence- factors and causes causing them may just help to ward off your worry. While on board informing the cabin crew about your fear, listening to your favorite music, reading some interesting or humorous piece of literature, making silly banter with your co passenger may comfort you in your flying experience. Passengers with a fear of flying should avoid a window seat on the plane for the view may not be very appealing to you.
Air travel is probably as safe as using a toaster in the kitchen and definitely safer than travelling by a car. One should learn about this fact that the fear of flying can keep you away from a lot of frolic and fun and so a conscious effort should be made to learn and control one’s fear of flying and inhibition while travelling by air if alleviating it completely is not possible.
