Airline Travel -
Flying is the Second
Greatest Thrill Known to
Man, Landing is the
First
By
Allen Klein
Tightened airport
security and other plane
related problems are
making airline travel
more difficult these
days. To counteract
that, here are some
suggestions to make your
journey more enjoyable.
* Distract
yourself.During the
flight, divert your
attention with a good
book, good conversation
or the in-flight movie.
* Reach out and meet
someone.Making contact
with other people can
help you feel less alone
in the lonely world of
travel.
* Remember to
breathe. When you tense
up, you tend to take
short shallow breaths.
Long slow breaths relax
you.
* Flying is safer
than driving. You have
heard it before but its
true. If you took one
domestic plane ride a
day, you could go on
average more than 29,000
years before succumbing
to a fatal accident.
* Take control. You
may not be in control of
your surroundings but
you are in control of
what you think.
Concentrate on the
positive.
* If it's a long
trip, think of how long
it might take you to
make the trip by car or
bus. If it's
cross-country, that
might take over a
week... so a five to six
hour plane ride doesn't
seem so bad when put in
perspective.
* Everything in life
is an adventure. So when
you start out your trip,
concentrate on what a
great adventure you
might have today, who
you might meet, or how
many airport stores you
can shop at when your
flight is delayed.
* Remember your sense
of humor. Never leave
home without it. A good
laugh can help you rise
above any situation.
