Austrian Airlines "Anti-Fear of Flying" Seminar

About one fourth of all passengers do not feel comfortable while flying or suffer from fear of flying. A team of specialist-pilots, psychologists, flight attendants, and experienced trainer offers you a three-day seminar, during which you will have very high chances of learning how to cope with your indisposition and overcome it. 

This Austrian Airlines "Fear of flying" seminar comprises 3 parts.
The causes and forms of anxiety will be determined during psychological sessions. In order to counteract these, you will be taught breathing and relaxation exercises in small groups. The informational part mainly deals with the airplane itself and with aviation engineering and technical matters. Finally, the practical part is aimed at proving to yourself that you are no longer afraid of flying, by taking off for a short flight to a European destination.
