I’m a nervous flyer

We've helped thousands of nervous flyers overcome their fear and fly with confidence

  • Do you recognise yourself?

    • I avoid flying wherever I can and find excuses not to avoid doing something which involves taking a plane
    • Even thinking about booking makes me tense and nervous and my hands feel sweaty when a flight or holiday is booked
    • As the departure date nears I get tense and worried
    • I may drink or take medication to get me through the whole experience, especially on the day of the flight
    • I feel trapped inside the plane, I feel out of control, the slightest bit of turbulence sets me off, I can’t even look out of the window let alone go to the toilet
    • The whole things make me feel embarrassed and uncomfortable
    • I will appear aggressive with people and get really irritable
    • Back on the ground is such a huge relief. I can’t wait for it to be all over
    • However, I’ll have to do it all again to get home, so I can never relax. It’s like an endless nightmare

    If you recognised some of your own feelings and behaviours in our list above, then you are in the right place. Whether you are a frequent business traveller or an occasional holidaymaker, those feelings of anxiety can ruin a trip leaving you feeling defeated and helpless.

    We understand how so many aspects of booking and travelling can trigger anxiety and behavioural changes in how you normally live your life. Importantly we know we can make a difference and help you to face down and conquer the fears that you have. Things can change for you and we have helped thousands of people get back into the air for work or pleasure.
