Do any of the airlines do courses for nervous passengers. I know BA did one some years ago but am not sure if?

Question

they are still doing them.

Answer 1

yes 2 courses : first one is called "Ladies and gentleman, your captain has left the plane" on how to deal with such emergency situations as open doors, flying on automatic, and so on,...
Second course is called "Ladies and gentleman, welcome aboard on flight BA666 heading for hell' about how to keep people sit quiet on their chairs withing attending to any of their needs...

Answer 2

There are several courses you could do contact the airline/airport customer services dept. When you book your flight let them know you are a nervous passenger and they can arrange pre boarding so you can get on and get settled, most airlines are really helpful and will be on hand through out the flight to reasure you. What ever you do do not drink a lot of alcohol you can be refused boarding and it can also make you more anxious. Try using relaxation tequniques such as close your eyes clear your mind and imagine you are walking along the edge of the sea sun on your back and waves lapping over your feet. There are tons more if that one doesnt help

So what sturdy is parachuting devoid of ideal practise formerly? also, how lengthy does it take to go out the airplane? Do you imagine each body's going to have sufficient time to bounce out of the airplane? it truly is in simple terms no longer conceivable. also, if you're over the sea, the position do you propose touchdown? you presently have jumped out of a airplane and not using a existence preserver... Do you intend on treading water for hours or days until eventually someone well-knownshows you? you may be MILES from the position your airplane became very last detected on radar. there are various of airplane crash survivors. It takes position. yet, in case you slam into the aspect of a mountain (because the Russian flight did), you're literally unlikely to live to inform the tale. And no individual is well-known with if the pilot detected any hardship. human beings on the administration tower purely knew that it disappeared on the radar. The pilot likely did not see some thing at the same time as they slammed into the mountain. How might want to parachutes have helped? there's plausible of taking any form of vacation. Air vacation continues to be between the most secure conceivable styles of vacation.

Answer 4

I think most airline companies do that today, hope you find what your looking for and eventually pluck up the courage to go on a flight, don't do what I did and wait until your nearly 50 though will you, its good fun even for me who's claustrophobic, all the best and hope you enjoy your holiday.

Answer 5

Average Aerophobes
*Opt for the biggest aircraft and a window seat close to the front (you’ll feel less turbulence).

*Tell the flight attendant and the pilot that you’re afraid. They’ll talk you through the weather, the equipment, and address specific concerns. (They’ve done it before.)

*When you do experience turbulence, roll with it. Literally, sway with the movement of the plane. And pretend you’re going over potholes in the sky.

*In-seat strategies: Breathe deeply and listen to calming music to block out minor sounds and annoying neighbors. Try herbal remedies. Use the airsick bag to prevent hyperventilation.

*Avoid caffeine but drink lots of water: Dehydration increases anxiety.

White-Knuckle Flyers
If you’re even more averse, the Achieving Comfortable Flight pack of booklets, tapes, and cards was created by a former pilot and a psychologist to teach you about the machinery (planes have back-up systems for nearly everything), pilot training (as intensive as a doctor), and storms (the FAA requires avoiding them by twenty nautical miles). You’ll also learn positive imagery techniques. Don’t laugh.

Panic Buttoners
Download pilot and therapist Tom Bunn’s Soar podcast for tactics on conquering your fear of losing control. His soothing, paternal voice will have you gliding through check-in, turbulence, and landing. Want more attention? He also does weekly telecoaching and private consultations.

The Last Resort
For the truly terrified, the Fear of Flying Clinic offers training weekends (provided you can get there) with a pilot, flight attendant, airline mechanic, and air traffic controllers, all of whom explain safety, aerodynamics, and weather — much of it inside an airplane. Orientation flights are optional — and seriously helpful.

Now get your head in the clouds.

Answer 6

British Midlands made a dvd for nervous passengers and are selling it on their website \i think. Don't think it is in the shops.

Forget courses. Here is what you do. Half an hour before you get on the plane, drink 3 large gin and tonics. It works. Did you know that no-one is afraid of flying? Its true. Its CRASHING that they are scared of.
