My auntie went on this course for people who are scared of flying, short flight just out to the Irish Sea and back again (Manchester). They make a day of it, to reassure people. She loved it and hasn't had a problem since. She said that once she'd seen how scared other people were she wasn't scared at all, just a bit nervous.
People were actually running around the plane screaming, some even had panic attacks, just for standing on the thing.
It was under £100 and she said it was well worth it. Small price to pay considering how cheap it is to fly to Europe now, places to go, things to see.
Amsterdam isn't a 2 hour+ flight at all, its about an hour max!
You should be able to get cheap flights with KLM or Easyjet.
Flying is safer than being in a car, fact
I got back from Amsterdam yesterday and the flight was 40 minutes going out and 50 coming back.
You don't have enough time to be scared
ooo cool. we've decided on paris now for certain...im pretty scared but i'll do it!
nah itll be fineeee
