Hello and welcome! We're here to get you flying ... that's our promise. Check out our blog here.
Yes we promise to get you flying, and the dream of visiting friends abroad, taking promotion or going on the holiday of a lifetime really will come true. Despite how you feel now, the chances are that you will overcome your fear of flying. There aren't any miracle cures or quick fixes but there are strategies and techniques that will get you flying - and being able to fly will change your life.
We'll get you flying ... that's our promise
Yes we will tell you about turbulence, yes we will explain about taking off and why you are perfectly safe. You will discover that planes don't fly through thunderstorms, that there aren't such things as 'difficult' or 'dangerous' airports. You'll understand why 'bad weather' isn't a problem to modern airliners. We'll tell you about noises and movements of a plane. We'll explain why planes fly. We'll help you if you have panic attacks or are claustrophobic. Whatever causes your anxiety ... there is information here to help you.
Remember the first thing you must do is to avoid using emotive language when you talk about flying. Use facts rather than feelings. The feelings are real of course, but the 'wrong' words help to maintain your fearful thoughts rather than overcome them. Everything on this site is designed to help you to overcome your fear, and without realising it, you've just started on your action plan to go flying without fear. Well done!
Now take your next step to overcome your fear of flying and continue your journey. There is no better day than today. Don't be nervous, because we're here to help and support you. Despite what you feel now the chances are that you will overcome your fear of flying. You won't find anything on this website that will make you feel worse than you do now, and everything should make you feel a whole lot better. And you can call me on +44 (0)1420 588 628 at any time of the day or night.

Facts are vital. The wings can't fall off. There are no such things as air pockets.
The wings won't fall off (because they're made in one piece), the engines don't strain on take off. The plane won't flip over after taking off. The pilot won't struggle to land in fog or snow. The cabin crew are trained to help passengers suffering from panic attacks. Despite popular belief it is never necessary to land a plane if there are, what you would call, emergencies on board.
You'll find that many of the things that you worry about are perfectly normal for the pilots and cabin crew. There is nothing that you can think about that hasn't been thought about already. It may be that you are not concerned about those particular things but you're probably anxious about something else. From now on you don't have to worry ... the facts are here.
Please enjoy looking around because, as I have said already, there is nothing on this site that will upset you or make you more anxious than you are now. And as you start browsing you'll be going just a little further along your journey of overcoming your fear. Well done so far.

Almost every fearful flyer has lost confidence. We can start re-building that today
Fearful flyers often say " I used to be fine ... I don't know what's wrong with me" as if it's a personal shortcoming. The fact is, things happen in life and developing a fear of flying is one of them ... the important thing is to not focus on the problem ... but on the solution.
It's easy to get the feeling that it's all a waste of time and effort but it's not. And that's why we'd like to encourage you to join our fear of flying community to share your experiences with like-minded people. With over 2500 members there will be someone who has a story like yours ... and you will be able to help each other by sharing your experiences and feelings.
The fear of flying is a learnt fear, and now you have to unlearn it. So you'll need to find a strategy. That means you'll have to throw away all the unhelpful things you've picked up and concentrate your efforts on things that will change your outlook. Set your aims and goals realistically and as you achieve each one, move on and on until you are able to fly with less stress and anxiety.
You won't get to the 'top of the mountain' quickly... be content with gradually getting higher and closer to 'the summit' each time you fly. And tell yourself well done ... give yourself a pat on the back ... you deserve to be congratulated so make sure you're the first to do it. And do it often, because overcoming your fear of flying is not easy, it needs hard work and energy. Well done from us too!
