Think positive, that is what determines how successfully will you overcome the fear of flying. Try not to think of flying as something horrible, but as an exciting game. Encourage yourself to defeat your fear and that competitiveness might just help you to persevere in what you're up to.

Try to reduce anxiety. Experts say that people who have a fear of flying have higher levels of anxiety in unpredictable situations. So, if for example, something suddenly slams, anxiety in people with this fear is at much higher level than in others. So make sure you reduce anxiety by practicing positive thinking, meditation, or any other way that suits you. It is important that you do it every day for a while. Experts say that 20 minutes a day is ideal, but at least five minutes is better than not to do it at all.

Inquire about flying. If you are concerned about turbulence or, for example, the sounds produced by aircraft during the flight, you should find out more about those specific things. Therefore, you can find out more about how to stop worrying unnecessarily. This way you will know what is happening when you are on a plane and turbulence occurs.

Get rid of fear gradually. You can’t get rid of fear for only a day so you should gradually expose yourself to things you’re afraid of. Experts recommend that you go to the airport and start imagining that you need to enter the plane. They also suggest that you go to the airport until there is no anxiety and you feel comfortable there.

Experts recommend using visualization techniques since you will not be allowed to enter the plane just to get used to the environment if you do not travel anywhere. Find a place in your home or anywhere else where you will not be disturbed. Then imagine that you are in an airplane, and to make it easier, surround yourself with the details. For example, find the sound of an airplane on the Internet, which will depict "journey." When anxiety starts to rise, try to identify what exactly is causing it, and then try to think positively about it.

When you're ready to actually travel by air, focus on all the things you found out about a specific thing that scares you, that should lower your fear.

Have a nice trip and please fasten your seatbelt.
