I would have recommended sleeping pills, but if u take it before u get on the plane, u might probably sleep off at the departure lounge and miss your flight. Besides, i don't know if there are any medical implications of taking psychoactive pills while flying. But sincerely sleeping pills might do great. Most of my more interesting flights, I spent more than half the time sleeping. |

Best way to conquer a fear is to take on something more unnerving. For fear of flying, I'll say take up skydiving classes (there's a school in oxfordshire if you're in the UK) or some hot-air ballon trips. |

I need help too, I think its called Flight - phobia International soccer player Dennis Bergkamp of Holland & RnB Star R.Kelly has Flight -o- phobia too. I always pray for forgiveness anytime im on board, and most especially when the screen display we're on Sea I always become the holiest on board, I Promise God never to Sin no more, I take my eyes off the pretty hostesses. |

For me, flying is still one of the safest way of travelling! @Poster If you are scared of flying, then you can travel by other means (trekking,by road, walking, by sea etc.) And that may be waiting till thy kingdom come before you reach some parts of the world or wherever you destination is |
Re: People Afraid of Flying: What Remedy? by queen2(f): 7:35pm On Jun 08, 2008 |

Please i will also want to know the remedy I start saying all kinds of prayers , promising God that i would be a good girl till eternity . . From Take off to landing |
Re: People Afraid of Flying: What Remedy? by Nobody: 8:39pm On Jun 08, 2008 |
i will give u a simple solution that has always worked for me. Just keep ordering wine instead of water. 4-5 small bottles of wine will knock your butt out and before u know it, u are at your destination. For Longer flights like from US to Naija, i will suggest 5-8 bottles with meals in between. But make sure u sobber up before u get to Naija. |
Re: People Afraid of Flying: What Remedy? by lucabrasi(m): 8:41pm On Jun 08, 2008 |
im scared of flying too and what usually works for me is to do something that ll distract me from the flight itself,drink some wine or beer and slep off so ill suggest u get your bro to sleep or get something that ll distract his attention from the flight i.e video games,movies n these sorta sturvs |
Re: People Afraid of Flying: What Remedy? by Ajebota(f): 8:41pm On Jun 08, 2008 |
lol so im not the only one that prays fervently on board. Good to know. @ post: I too would like a remedy. Something that helps me though was attending an aeronautical engineering seminar ( had no choice in the matter by the way, it wasnt voluntary!) that explained the concept of turbulence in planes. Dont remember much of what was said but basically, turbulence can not cause an air plane to crash. So whenever the turbulence becomes almost unbearable I keep reminding myself that it doesnt mean a crash is evident. |
Re: People Afraid of Flying: What Remedy? by Nobody: 9:36pm On Jun 08, 2008 |
the way i pray when im on plane im not sure ive prayed like that before,u will see me praying diff kind of prayers till we land,and when i come down i forget watever prayer i prayed on air |
Re: People Afraid of Flying: What Remedy? by HRhotness(f): 9:38pm On Jun 08, 2008 |
I actually love flying, esp at take-off and landing. . I usually sleep thru turbulence like someone said, planes dont crash as a result of turbulence |
Re: People Afraid of Flying: What Remedy? by agboifo(f): 9:38pm On Jun 08, 2008 |
I've read somewhere than 1 in every 5 persons (some say more) is afraid of flying. I am. For everyone it begins in a different way. Flying used to be one of my greatest delights. The tide took a turn for bad after a trip from Abuja to Lagos where we suffered what turned out to be just turbulence. Well, that cause is now history but what remains is a terror of flying. I don't have time for a longer post now but this much I know. At least my head knows it, while my heart thinks something else 1. Flying is the safest way to travel. How many air accidents happen? Few, but because of the magnitude and the near 100% fatality, it makes news. 2. It is said that taking-off and landing are the most crucial stages, but here's a consolation: Do you realize that at that speed (of taxiing for take-off), the plane is already trying to lift off before the pilot actually 'allows' it? So forget about the thought that the plane might drop off the sky. On several trips, I have tried to take sleeping tablets. Apart from giving you a bad stomach, they don't work. Solution. 1. Don't worry. 2. Have a good sleep before the trip 3. Tell the Air Hostess about your fear. You'll see how that helps. Some even take you to see the Pilot and the view from there is consoling More later. Hope this helps. |
Re: People Afraid of Flying: What Remedy? by Nobody: 10:01pm On Jun 08, 2008 |
Solution. con wat wat view im sure i'll just faint for 10 hours no resurrection im still trying to cope just sitting down and not looking out,not to talk of going to meet da pilot to see d whole thing naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,no way i'll just collapse |
Re: People Afraid of Flying: What Remedy? by mhm(m): 11:21pm On Jun 08, 2008 |
I fly a lot but I just cant over it. once we encounter turbulence, the chill that runs thru my spine no get part two. Happened this morning while flying from kaduna to lagos, encountered severe turbulence for about 5 minutes. you should have heard the deafening silence in the cabin. They say one out of five people is scared if flying, i hink its more like three out of five |
Re: People Afraid of Flying: What Remedy? by omega25red(m): 11:26pm On Jun 08, 2008 |
take a shot of whisky before flight it would calm you down remember just "one" shot because if you get drunk they won't let you fly |
Re: People Afraid of Flying: What Remedy? by tosinadeda: 11:29pm On Jun 08, 2008 |
try trecking then |
Re: People Afraid of Flying: What Remedy? by eiete(f): 11:35pm On Jun 08, 2008 |
Well if it's your first time flying, it's bound to be a little fighting. As for your younger brother feeling chilling that is because of the ventilation system on the plane, which makes the cabin feel cold; and that can be resolved by asking for extra blankets. But to help you calm & relax your nerves before and during your flight you should go visit your doctor or pharmacist and ask him or her to prescribe you Avomine or any related medication for traveling sickness. That I think should do the trick. |
