I want to point out that this is designed for the fear of having a panic attack or high anxiety while flying because there is no escape. If your fear relates to a fear of the plane crashing due to some mechanical failure, there are lots of great books that teach which teaches you just how safe flying is.

What if’ thoughts of no escape and what might happen are the main fuel that drive a fear of flying. So let’s examine what is really the worst that can happen?

You know already that a panic attack won’t kill you. You are not going to suffocate or pass out.

You also know that the overwhelming majority of people who have full blown panic attack do so without people around even noticing. They do not lose control or act out in a impulsive or dangerous manner.

So the worst that really will happen is that you will feel very uncomfortable for a period of time in the airplane.

Thats the worst that will happen. Very unpleasant but not life threatening.

Ok so As you board the plane, remember you will be feeling anxious, expect that and dont be upset
when it manifest.

Now take your seat and reframe the anxious feelings into excitement by telling yourself you feel excited. “I am excited to be flying, I am excited to be flying , I am excited to be flying”.

And so you should be. Flying is exciting. Allow your body to express that excitement.

What if thoughts are guaranteed. Defuse each and every one of them that tugs at you.

‘What if the anxiety gets really bad, I have no where to run?’
So what! If it gets really bad yes it will be uncomfortable but it wont kill me. It will pass.
It can’t keep escalating.’

As you settle in, allow all the nervous arousal you feel to be there with you, let it accompany you on this journey. Invite it to stay and tell it that you know it will probably get more intense during take off and in moments of turbulence -but that’s ok.

You repeat over and over to yourself ‘I accept and allow this anxious feeling , I accept and allow these anxious thoughts’.

If at any point during the flight you feel that familiar flood of adrenaline and think you might be about to have a panic attack, respond with

“There you are. I was expecting you to show up at some point on this flight.”

You were never trying to run away from it; in fact, you were hoping it would emerge so you could move through it.

“Well lets get to it” Then demand more of the sensations that are intensifying. I know this is hard to do when in an enclosed situation like an airplane but trust me it is the right move.

The more you really demand to have an attack during the flight, the more empowered and confident you’ll feel in yourself.

You really place yourself in a position of power. It can sometimes help to become a bit emotional or excited with the fear when you demand it to show itself, because this helps the emotions to release and flow.
. Notice how the adrenaline has that wavelike effect. It courses through your body—and if you pay close attention, you’ll feel it pass quickly, in twenty or thirty seconds.

Nothing to fear here. After it passes, confidence returns—until the next wave comes, and the next, until eventually you notice the pattern. And, by not reacting, the effect on you is nothing more than bodily sensations minus the panic.
Once the feeling of heightened anxiety has subsided place your full attention on something. Engage with a pleasurable activity that interests you. That might mean reading a magazine, or watching some in flight entertainment. If you have relaxing music now is a good time to play it.

You will probably find it hard to sleep during the flight, but do try and relax into it as much as possible and maybe even enjoy the flight!
