With real-world insights from both the cockpit and the passenger seat, this easy-to-follow guide will help you build confidence and develop practical skills to make flying not just bearable, but something you can genuinely enjoy over time.
"One thing that was a game-changer for me is I usually feel 'lucky' that my plane landed safely, but I now understand it's totally normal so I think this is helping me re-shift my perspective on flying." - Orla, Nervous Flyer
"An excellent book which I would highly recommend to anybody with a fear of flying" - Francie, Nervous Flyer
"I actually read this book on a short haul flight, it answered many of the questions I had over the years! I was the calmest I had ever been on a flight as the calm voice of John, the pilot, guided me through the noises and movements of the plane and Roy, who I could relate to, had changed his mindset thanks to the understanding of how a plane works. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is scared of flying, it will help calm those nerves!" - Liz, Nervous Flyer
"I found the practical advice helpful especially from the pilot's perspective - something I haven't considered before. It gave insights to alleviate my anxiety in flying. I use the checklist to prepare and visualise my journey. I feel less anxious now and I know that I can use the practical tips anytime I get nervous". - Amina, Nervous Flyer
"Hearing the ideas in this book has had a great impact on my mindset. Now I'm flying all the time and last year flew direct from New York to Singapore! I really appreciate how this has helped me fly more regularly." - Mark, Nervous Flyer
