Aerophobia is a very common problem for many people all around the world. But it becomes a real tragedy for those, who choose to spend their life in travel. Of course, it’s possible to avoid flying and opt for traveling by car or ferry. But thus you will significantly limit the choice of destinations. There is also another, better way to try to overcome the fear. Here are some useful tips for fear of flying:

• We are all afraid of the unknown, that’s human nature. Once you learn the causes of the turbulence, you will realize that this is a completely natural phenomenon that should not scare you. You can also learn more about the structure of the aircraft and the principles of its mechanisms. You’ll quickly understand that this means of transport is one of the most reliable and secure.

• If you are afraid to fly, then chatting with neighbors is the best way to relax – let yourself get carried away by interesting conversation.
