Fear of a crash, a fear of being out of control, a fear of the unknown, a fear of heights, especially after losing a loved one in an aircraft crash, and claustrophobic feelings are some of the key reasons some individuals are frightened to fly on airplanes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition, for some passengers, the entire flight experience can be a source of anxiety, including the hassles of airports, crowds, turbulence, bad food, confined quarters, and lengthy flights.<\/p>\n

Confined spaces provide fertile ground for the kind of irrational fear<\/strong>, and worst-case scenarios that feed anxiety.<\/p>\n

Anxiety may have such a strong effect on us that it can even affect our bodily systems<\/strong>. As a result, our breathing becomes short, our chest tightens, our hands sweat, we become queasy, and we may even faint.<\/p>\n

While more people are flying than ever before, many still have a fear of flying that doesn’t reach a phobia level<\/strong>. This is even though there is ample data to prove that flying is the safest means of transportation.<\/p>\n

So, what exactly is it about flying that causes such universal dread?<\/p>\n

The lack of control they have in the circumstance is a big part of it. Fear of heights or crashes, or a lack of knowledge about how flight works, may also be a factor<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you’re afraid of flying, you probably think that there’s nothing you can do to alleviate your fears or anxieties throughout the flight. But this isn’t the case.<\/p>\n
