Fear of Flying

[roy.or.r]

I have always had a fear of flying in a plane for ages and can't seem to get over it. I was just curious to know how many of the bluemoon folks have this fear as well? To those who do, what do you normally do during flights to reduce this fear? Music, lots of drinks?

I look out of the window and if the plane seems to be going higher and not on fire I relax with a bit of reading and wait for the coffee to come round.

Very similar fear for me mate but mine is





Fear of crashing.

Same here. It feels like whenever the plane takes a turn, I look at the wings and almost shit myself.

I used to drink until I no longer cared. Not sure why, but I got over my fear after a while. For some bizarre reason I always felt safe over water.

Love flying but my ears absolutely fucking hate it. Feels like needles being stick in them on almost every decent, make me look like I'm scared but it's just the pain, then it takes them a good day before I can hear properly.

Aren't water landings mostly not survivable not taking into account the Hudson incident?

Hence the ”bizarre” bit. ;)

Take a mouth full of water, pull your ear lobes down and back then swallow.

Works for me.

Who's she?

Just be thankful that you've already survived the most dangerous part of your journey....... Getting to the airport!

I'll give that a try next time but have my doubts, got perferated ear drums which fuck me up, it's a nightmare in water as well I end up with half the pool stuck in my inner ear if I go under.

Calling @ChicagoBlue to report to the thread immediately.
He'll put you right mate.

I flew for the first time when I was 51. I was scared to death before.
Don't think I'll ever "enjoy" it but now I understand it's something I just have to endure to get what I want. My son moved to the Czech Republic just a year after I got over my fear so now it's a necessity if I want to see him and my baby granddaughter.
I still hate take off though, and the way the plane seems to drop shortly after

I don’t fear flying at all. It’s the crashing thing that I’m not keen on!!!!
