Ep 22. Overcoming Flight Anxiety (with Dial a Pilot)

Описание: #podcast #travel #fearofflying
Life in the sky can be a thrilling journey, but for those of us who experience flight anxiety, it's not always smooth sailing. Cue my (Sara's) recent bout of aviophobia, a sudden fear of flying that has sneakily crept into my adventurous life, throwing a wrench in the works of our travel vlogging. To help shed light on this fear and hopefully help others in the same boat (or should we say plane?), we invite Kyle, the founder of Dial a Pilot, onto the podcast. Imagine a hotline that connects you with an active or retired airline pilot, ready to answer your every query, no matter how irrational - that's Dial a Pilot!

It's not always turbulence that leaves us gripping the armrests; sometimes it's the sheer lack of control and understanding of what's going on. Having someone to pre-brief you before a flight or debrief you afterward can be a game-changer. The world of flying can be a complex labyrinth, but Kyle breaks it down for us – from the software systems and weather apps pilots use, to the intricacies of airport logistics, and even the dramatic Hollywood representations of airplane emergencies.

But let's not forget the fun part - snacks! Yes, we even wander into a lighthearted discussion about the anticipation of the air stewardess coming around with her cart of goodies. However, we don't shy away from the serious stuff - we delve into the rigorous training of pilots and mechanics, the redundant safety systems built into airplanes, and how maintenance issues are promptly resolved. So, whether you're a nervous flyer, a travel enthusiast, or simply curious about the world of aviation, join us as we navigate through the challenges and complexities of flying. It's time to buckle up and overcome our fear of flying, together.
