What to do with phobia of flying onboard the airplane?

Many people, who are afraid to fly, try to avoid traveling by air transport. But there are also those who have no choice and in the line of duty they have to apply to air carriers. Panic fear of the aircraft can be overcome or at least temporarily drown out. To do so, you can:

• Distract yourself. Read a book, listen to your favorite music, watch captivating shows or movies. Your brain at this moment will be busy processing other information and it will not have time to panic.
• Fall asleep. This method is often used by those who travel a lot. They can even reduce their sleep time (or deprive themselves of it at all) the night before the flight, so that when they get into a comfortable chair, they could relax and wake up during landing already.
• Meditate, recite a mantra or convince yourself that you have no fear of planes. If your flight is going to be short, then immersing into such a relaxed state will perfectly cope with your problem. Remember that the aircraft was created by professionals, is piloted also by experienced professionals and that your panic harms only you and does not affect the situation from the outside.
• Study the statistics and mechanism of functioning of air transport. An airplane is the safest type of transport and one should not be afraid of it. The probability of a car accident is hundreds of times greater, but we use cars and buses every day. When you understand how exactly a multi-ton metal construction moves, you will feel calmer.
• Arrange a shopping spree or a photo shoot before your travel. Looking over the purchases, browsing the photos and manipulating them you won’t even notice how the time of your flight will sweep without fear.
