How do i overcome my fear of heights and what will calm me down during the plane ride?
A fear of heights is not normally triggered by flying, since passengers are safely enclosed inside a cabin and cannot possibly fall out. As for the airplane itself, airplanes don’t fall. Sometimes it can help to study how an airplane flies. The more you understand about it, the more you realize how stable an aircraft is in flight. It’s practically riding on rails. An airplane will not suddenly fall to the ground any more than a cruise ship will abruptly flip vertical and plunge to the bottom of the ocean.
I have a fear of heights too, but I love flying. The reason for this I think is once you get so high in the plane you cannot reguster just how far away the ground is so you have no fear. That said, when taking off and landing I will not look out the window coz I can register just how far I am from the ground, and its not nice!
