Lovefly® Blog - New Year and Fear of Flying

 

It has come to the end of the year again...and what a weird year.

Commercial Aviation has really suffered this year with many thousands of people sadly losing their employment. We are slowing crawling back and many airlines have measures in place to make flying Covid safe. 

Unfortunately, it is going to take a while to get back to some sort of normality.

On a more positive note, now is the time that many set New Year's Goals. This is an important time for nervous flyers to face their fears of flying.  Now is a great time to be facing your fears of flying.  When we are able to fly again, you will be ready to do so - without the crippling fear of flying to stop you.

We can help!

Lovefly Blog - six fear of flying tips

It is around this time of year that many people have set themselves 'new year resolutions.'  

The new year seems to be a great catalyst to stop doing things they have wanted to stop and to start doing things they have wanted to start.  

We know, for a fact, that this is the time of year we get the most fear of flying help emails....It could be that holiday adverts are everywhere?  Maybe, it is that people decide 'enough is enough, I am going to get rid of my fear of flying.'

The problem with being scared to fly is that it limits your choices.  Sure, you can get to most places without flying but it takes a heck of a lot longer.  Also, you not being able to fly or, not liking the experience, affects others too.  (This is not intended to make you feel guilty by the way. ) 

So, when you overcome this fear, it means that not just you get to fly but, your loved ones get to fly more as well.  Here are six tips to help you when you next fly:

1. Fact - you were not born with a fear of flying. You have learned it at some point and it took a hold.  However, we believe it is never too late to start learning some new ways of thinking and feeling about flying.

2. Most nervous flyers will admit that they like to feel in control.  You are not in control, the pilots are. If you could see how much training, testing and retesting the commercial pilots go through, you would be amazed and very reassured.

3. The aircraft is much, much stronger than you think. It is not bothered by rain, lightning, clouds or turbulence.  you may not like how it feels but it does not mean you are in any danger.

4.  When the seat belt signs come on, strap in. This is for your safety to stop you falling over when walking about. It is not a sign of imminent danger.  If the crew have to sit down and strap in, it is for their safety when walking about the cabin.  

5. No single point of failure.  Every single system has at least one back up system (and often more) in commercial aviation.  


6.  Find ways to relax or distract yourself when you fly.  Whether you worry or whether you don't has no effect whatsoever on the actual safety of the flight.  Why not let the professionals get on with their jobs of getting you safely from A to B?

Hope you found that helpful.

Take care,
