What is fear of flying?
Fear of flying is worry or fear about traveling by plane. It can begin weeks before a trip or appear during particular moments, such as takeoff, turbulence, or the cabin doors closing. You may feel tense, sick to your stomach, restless, or caught in thoughts about what could go wrong.
Understanding the feeling is a starting point. What matters next is how it affects your choices, and what you would like travel to feel like instead.
