By the time I was in my mid-30s I\u2019d transformed from someone who was quite happy to fly \u2013 into someone who dreaded every \u201cwhite knuckled minute\u201d from the moment I checked in \u2013 to the blessed moment the wheels touched down on the runway. I was bad \u2013 but I certainly wasn\u2019t one of the worse cases \u2013 but I certainly empathise with them.<br><br>We all probably know someone who has refused to travel by plane \u2013 even forgoing the opportunity to visit grandchildren or partake in a holiday of a lifetime. People who suffer with an acute fear of flying end up having to make significant sacrifices \u2013 missing out on fun, adventure, and in the worse cases \u2013 the chance to hold a grandchild in their arms.<br><br>There\u2019s so much more help out there now than there was 30, or even 20 years ago\u2026but still many people find themselves limited to staying at home or only traveling by land and sea.<br><br>It doesn\u2019t matter how rich, famous, or high-achieving you are \u2013 fear of flying can strike anyone. In Conor\u2019s Irish Times feature he describes how Ronald Reagan was famously terrified of flying.<br><br>\u201cHe endured a rough flight in California in 1937 and for nearly 30 years he criss-crossed the US by train only. When he became a presidential candidate, he had no choice but to fight his fear. Once a fellow passenger congratulated him on overcoming the phobia, to which he replied: \u201cOvercome it? Hell! I\u2019m holding this plane up in the air by sheer willpower!\u201d<br><br>Conor goes on to describe how Abba\u2019s Agnetha F\u00e4ltskog became something of a recluse thanks to her fear of flying. Apparently, it was triggered when a private jet she was traveling in was hit by bad weather in 1979.<br><br>Footballer Dennis Bergkamp was well known for his fear of flying \u2013 when he signed for Arsenal from Inter Milan in the mid-1990s, he had it written into his contract that he would never have to fly for football.<br><br>Conor writes \u201cThe scale of his fear was revealed in his autobiography. \u201cIt got so bad I would look up at the sky during away games to see what the weather was like. Were there any clouds coming? Sometimes I was preoccupied by the flight home while I was playing football. It was hell.\u201d<br><br>The great news is that help is at hand\u2026and it\u2019s not just in the form of Allen Carr\u2019s book that tackles fear of flying\u2026within a couple of months a brand new on-demand program will be available that should allow even the worse sufferers take some gentle steps toward worry-free flight. If it worked for me \u2013 it can work for anyone!<br><br><a class=\"button\" title=\"Read more about 'How to Overcome Your Fear of Flying\u2019\"
