Fear of Flying

Not me but my other half

Specifically she is afraid of crashing. My logic cannot compute, but I am considering forking out for a fear of flying course prior to our next holiday (5 flights....).

Any one else tried one of these? Do they work or a load of hot air?

Surprisingly I found watching Air Crash Investigators (a lot) helped. It helps you understand the dynamics of flight, what happens when and that it actually takes quite a lot to cause a plane to crash.

I'm banned from watching Air Crash Investigations! It does not help her apparently.

Fear of flying course is in doubt now. Same day as my grandfathers funeral. It's doable still, but with daughter in tow a lot more complicated.

I'm told it's the thought of flying over water at night. In fact it's only the overnight flight that is the problem - and I'm beginning to think it's less about flying and more about not sleeping.

I won't sleep either, but will just deal with it rather than whinge endlessly, and make the holiday a living nightmare dreading something that I can't change.
