Overcoming Your Fear of Flights
There are many reasons why people want to travel, but don’t – too busy at work, have a family to take care of, lack of resources, or even scared of flights. For those of you who have aviophobia, which is the fear of flying, just know that you’re not alone. In fact, this is a common reason why people don’t take the vacations of their dreams. At Only Cabo Tours, we encourage everyone to overcome this fear so they can experience all of the things they’ve always wanted to do, whether it’s whale watching in Cabo or sitting by the beach and enjoying the sun. Here are some of the ways to overcome this fear.
Learn More About Airplanes
Airplanes are actually the safest way to travel, although many people don’t realize it. That’s why one of the ways to overcome this is by learning more about the statistics and even more about how planes actually work. For example, did you know that the odds of getting in a plane crash are 1 in 11 million?
Compare the Safety of Planes with Other Everyday Activities
You’re most likely participating in activities that are way more dangerous than flying in a plane. For instance, have you ever considered the chances of getting in a car crash or getting hurt while crossing the street without a walking sign? This isn’t meant to make you scared to keep doing these things, but rather put it in perspective that you’re doing more dangerous things and you’re perfectly fine.
Know What to Expect with Turbulence
Many people get freaked out by the turbulence in a plane. This happens when the plane flies through an area of low pressure to high pressure. By knowing why it’s happening and what to expect, you’ll be more prepared for these moments.
Learn How to Manage Your Anxiety
This may be different for everyone. For some, they may like squeezing their stress ball, while others like to sip on green tea, and the rest just feel better sitting next to their loved one on the plane.
For those of you that are hesitant about flying, it’s time to overcome those fears and finally enjoy whale watching in Cabo or whatever it is you have your eye one.
