Thanks nzdiver. Yes, I know statistically the chances show I am totally safe, so I do remember that when I board. Well, I try too. Interestingly,I just returned from a short flight just local (sydney to perth) something I would avoid normally. I decided to go economy..... and decided to be...

My annual insurer I have right at this minute, wont let me add it either as departure date is more than 1 year away

It is a QUEEN MARY 2 cruise. It was prebooked before release and sold out within 5 hours.We have had it booked and paid for since around august 2012 It is the same journey that Matthew Flinders took...sydney, brisbane whitsundays,darwin, bali, freemantle, adelaide,melbourne and sydney...

I usually buy annual travel insurance, however I currently need insurance for a trip I had to book and pay for in 2014 I know it is a long way away, but if something happen now I would not be covered. EG say I was hit by a car today, and resulted in permanent damage meaning I could not go in...

You will love it!! I also flew from Helsinki to Rovaniemi in Lapland. A couple of suggestions.... make sure you go to Santa Village in Rovaniemi. A taxi will get you there with no trouble. You can get a photo of standing on the artic circle line!! Ok, silly but fun. There is a place that...

I would stay around time square... yes loads of people, but the atmosphere is great. If you are a Seinfeld fan, head to Toms Restaurant. A cafe type area, but in a part of NY not many tourist go, so very interesting. I would head to central park for skating, or to just take in the atmosphere...

Yes, I know mine is a control issue. I only realized this in the last week. I dont like to not be the driver of the car (I trust my driving totally, but worry about the other persons ability, and yes that is crazy I know). That doesn't almost cripple me though. Just realized on a long train...

Thank you jb747.......now I understand. I appreciate that immensely. I just assumed bird strike always caused damage and therefore could not work out why no one had reported it and dealt with issue. That explains why the first announcement was about trying to fix the issue after the stike (the...

I have a terrible fear of flying despite flying extensively all around the world, however if I had to go sydney to Darwin, I would drive rather than board a flight. However, I am dealing with this at present, but I do have a question that may help me.... After about 15 flights with AA in may...

Thanks for suggestion about apps.... yes I have an iphone, so will go look see. Wow... cant wait to actually want to jump on a plane!! That would be the best thing ever. Blinky....I so hear you! Recently, I could not face flying from Las Vegas to LA and did as you did, hired a car. Instead of...

On the "fear of flying course" I just read about, someone said the course has "given back their life". ...... I really understand that. Despite flying internationally all the time, I feel I am robbed at this stage of doing short weekends away such as Sydney to Central Australia/Gold...

Thank you all so much... the links and the info re courses etc is invaluable! I will follow that path.

Thank you for the suggestion about "ask a pilot". I will go check it out!~

Sometimes I would prefer to just not know. It is amazing how information given to passengers that is meant to be helpful, can end up causing fear in another. For example... In May I was booked on an American Airlines flight Vancover to New Orleans via Denver. This was about my 5th flight with...

Ok, I will start reading up about flying and about noises and turbulence etc etc. Up till now, I have avoided these details, but since they have helped those here, I will give it a go!

Thank you both for your welcome (especially in just about every language, LOL). Loved it. Thanks for the link to, to the other thread...I will go and have a look see now! yohy?! Great suggestions...especially about the noise cutting out headphones. The noise as you know, or engines does...

Hello and I am very pleased I found this site! What a great source of information. Like many here, I am a very frequent flyer internationally and have seen most of our beautiful world. I guess I stumbled into this site because I have a terrible fear of flying, which my friends just don't...
