Serious aerophobia or temporary?
Can’t imagine what to do if you are afraid to fly by plane? The first thing is to deal with that – whether it is temporary mental disorder or persistent, more similar to a disease called aerophobia. If this it is not known where the sensation arose, which is absolutely unknown to you earlier, you can try to laugh it off or philosophize. AT the case of sustained aircraft flight fears that accompanied by somatic disorders (fainting), It is worth contacting a psychologist.
It is a specialist psychologist (not to be confused with a psychiatrist) help to stop being afraid to fly by plane. At such psychological training to combat aerophobia often invite flight crew pilots and flight attendants. First, you personally make sure that before you are ordinary people from flesh and blood, not cyborg. Secondly, listen to what really worth doing to overcome aerophobia, and what to do or in which scenario it is impossible.
What if you purchased a ticket and, for example, for a couple weeks before the flight, you began airborne offenses such as are you unable to fight? In this case, it is necessary to approach the question. competent cancellation of the tour with a refund. But, as shows practice, aerophobia to overcome is easy!

What can not be done before the flight
Of all the recipes how to deal with aerophobia, proposal to get drunk before flying on an airplane to full insanity is the most harmful. This does not solve problems, and if decides, then very briefly. You cannot predict how your body will react in flight to alcohol doping. Maybe, that under reduced pressure (when the plane takes put level, in the cabin it is slightly reduced) oxidation oxygen contained in the blood will go in the presence of alcohol (by the way, maybe someone will be interested in reading about Thai alcohol) uncontrollably fast. This will cause the person to calm asleep on the take-off of the plane, will begin to experience euphoria, and even worse – panic fear. Do you know why many people are afraid fly on a plane? But because of these, suddenly released from nirvana subjects. In addition, it is absolutely certain that hangover syndrome that has arisen in flight, is most difficult. There are even cases of heart attacks in apparently healthy people.
And another recipe for the fight against aerophobia: you can not “cheat” yourself If you have to fly, then do everything to read a single line about the model of the aircraft on which you fly. Do not communicate in the forums and do not collect statistics air crashes. It has already been collected and this data is much more are objective. According to them, air transport is the most reliable. what whatever they may say about possible violations, deviations from the rules and other unpleasant things, aviation was and remains the most regulated industry. As a rule, minibuses on which you shaking daily, controlled much worse. A fall from height of own growth is considered by medicine as equally risky action as from 10 thousand meters.

Stereotypes that scare us
Doubts about whether to be afraid to fly airplanes are often reinforced by common stereotypes, only aggravating aerophobia in humans. One of the most harmful based on anti-patriotism. For some reason on earth we enthusiastically we chant “Russia!” and consider ourselves the very most in the world. But it is worth touching on the conversation of aviation, so immediately begin miraculous transformations and horror stories about falling apart flight liners, drinking flight attendants and pilots.
In fact, Russian aviation is firmly built into the world transport network and is subject to all international regulations. BUT the largest domestic airline Aeroflot, unlike the rest of the post-Soviet, has relatively new good technical aircraft service. Only, I would like to advise to avoid flights on the most dangerous and unreliable aircraft, which fall statistics occur most often – this is a Boeing 737, a Boeing 747, Tu-154, An-24, Yak-40 and some others, and the Boeing 777, IL-86, Airbus A340 are considered the safest by airliners.
Is, for example, at Suvarnabhumi airport allowed to take off technically faulty liner with inadequate crew? Such the board is dangerous to everyone on earth and no one will risk yourself for unknown commercial interests. Even yourself pilots, because of selfishness typical of man, will not lift a faulty plane into the air because of the threat of their own lives.
Another set of stereotypes is related to the behavior of the aircraft during flight. Nobody especially bothers that they are shaking on bad roads. This is perceived as an inevitable misfortune, peculiar to our country.
On the airways, there are some kind of potholes, called turbulence (by the way, they are most afraid of it). And such a phrase as air pockets terrifies many. But it is nothing more than a winged expression. There is some air fluctuation, quite limited, being in the zone of action of which the wings of the aircraft lose part of the lift. Let’s not lie that tangible “failure” very pleasant for the body. But a mentally healthy person able to withstand more. Especially because at the end of the flight in Thailand you are waiting for those same paradise which you dreamed all past year, and maybe a lifetime. So, do not give aerophobia get the upper hand, look for and book cheap airline tickets flying with a calm soul!
