Are you afraid of flying? How to overcome your fear

Aerophobia is the term used to describe the fear of flying (as well as an irrational fear of breezes and fresh air - I can understand why a gale-force storm might induce fear but a little summer breeze?), and while it just makes a flight a very uncomfortable experience for some people, it completely stops others from getting on a plane at all.

If you suffer from a fear of flying and would like to overcome in it in order that you can see the world, then you may be pleased to know that there are a number of courses and resources to help people do just that.

The website www.cheapflights.co.uk has a comprehensive guide to different courses, their costs and what they include. Many of them are in conjuction with the Flying Without fear organisation, who also sell books and CDs on the topic.

It is worth checking out if your fear of flying means that you are really not doing the things you'd like to do in life.
