An update on my fear of flying

As a few of you may have read before I went away in June to Punta Cana I was absolutely terrified of even the thought of flying. I thought as I flew yesterday again to Vienna I'd let you know how I got on briefly because so many of you gave me such good advice.
Vienna's somewhere I come every year and it was starting to bother me that I was having to transfer meaning not 1 but 2 flights in the same day!

Well, when I came over yesterday I was ALOT better, still slightly anxious during take off and quite bad turbulance down into Frankfurt but on the whole I feel almost cured ^)

Thanks for all the advice, that along with my flight to PUJ back in June have really helped and I'm very greatful

Great news, Lizz.

If you managed a flight with turbulence and still feel okay, then that is brilliant. ^) ^)

Well done, I hope you continue to enjoy flying for many years to come.

Well done Lizz !

And thanks for keeping us updated and that our advice worked and is appreciated.

Well done Lizz, it is really brave of you. I hope as time goes on it becomes even less traumatic and that you can begin to enjoy the experience.

Great news, Lizz! y)

Believe it or not, I was a very, very nervous flyer up until the mid 90s, when a combination of business travel and being bitten by the travel bug meant I was flying every other month. Got over my fear in no time at all. I think those in the know would call it 'Immersive Phobia Therapy' or something. Whatever. It worked, and it looks like you're well on the road to recovery too.

Good for you, Lizz!

Good 'un Lizz - well done y)

Excellent news ^)

Congratulations!

My mother used to be afraid of flying, but it turns out it was just a fear of flying economy. She now travels out to see me twice a year with the help of a lounge gin and tonic ... or two.

ROTFLMAO - quite a few V-Flyers seem to have developed this phobia. Not many are looking for relief from it though. 8D

I wish to make it quite clear to all and sundry that I am not Dubaiification's mother. ) 8D

Oddly enough, the same age though. Must be the year of the gin and tonic brigade!
