As anyone with a fear of flying knows, it’s a pretty horrible thing to deal with.
It can restrict holiday options, cause you to refuse amazing opportunities and leads to distressing panic if you do manage to get on to the flight.
However, there are ways and means around it with various tips available for dealing with aviophobia, or simply put, a fear of flying.
As someone who finds it difficult to sleep in my own bed, I do surprisingly well at nodding off in the air and would recommend it as a way of distracting from the fact that you’re flying.
Personally, I’m a fan of flying but I know plenty of people who really don’t like it and that’s why the below video may be of interest.
Spotted on Cosmopolitan, a video from Jet Blue details the places to sit on a plane if you’re not exactly comfortable with the whole idea of being in the air.
Turbulence can unsettle even the hardiest of passengers and it’s something best avoided, if at all possible.
Apparently, the “middle section” of the cabin allows for the smoothest journey.
According to the American airline, there’s less movement in the middle of the cabin because you’re closer to the centre of gravity.
Of course, much like a see-saw, the further you move away from the middle, the more likely you’re going to experience movement and with that brings the dreaded turbulence.
Turbulence isn’t usually dangerous but it can intensify feelings of unease, particularly if you’re a nervous flyer.
Wirth that in mind, avoid seats near the front or back and try book seats in the middle for a smooth stress-free flight.
