Travel-Blog: Air-Travel News Air passengers facing air travel stress: November 7, 2007  Wellington: Passengers travelling via air are susceptible to a new kind of travel bug that starts working the moment one books the ticket for that dream holiday, a psychologist has claimed. Dr Bryan Burke, a specialist in the fear of flying, who works at the Anxiety Treatment Unit in Sydney, says that with the huge number of people jetting these days, any one of us can suffer from air travel stress, a form of anxiety caused by heightened security and all the hassles involved in being a passenger. "It's the long lines at check-in, the crowding, the enhanced security procedures, the lack of predictability often in what's going to happen between arriving at the airport and getting to the plane ... all the delays and all that sort of stuff, that anybody is subjected to," he said. He added that for one third of the world's population the idea of being up in the air in an aeroplane triggers damp paws and a faster heart beat. He says that fear can fluctuate from mild apprehension through to total avoidance. The symptoms of a person suffering from air travel stress are generally triggered by some other factors such as "claustrophobia, panic attacks, stress overload, traumatic experiences associated with flying or worriers." "Our body senses mislead us, our balance sense amplifies so it seems like we are falling," he said. Therefore, Dr Burke works at controlling these thought processes by training clients with the facts about flying in a program his centre conducts. Travel Blog Comment: Uncertainty scares us and since air travel is the most uncertain for us as compared with land travel or sea travel, simply by dint of our not being able to fly on our own, it gives us a sense of being hung in the mid-air in case of any eventuality. That is what the basic reason of the fear of flying is! The best way out to overcome this fear is not a training but a mentality that is ready to jump into death every moment anew.
