Do people need to have a fear of flying on a plane when they next go on holiday?
At some point there has been discussion about whether or not we should fly, after all we don’t have wings. But why would we have been given the intelligence to create these massive flying machines.
Aeroplanes have been the fear of many travellers; some people won’t even fly at all, but is this an irrational fear? Realistically speaking the odds of being in a plane crash are so unbelievably low that fear of flying doesn’t make much sense. Lets look at it this way; you have a 0.0002% chance of being in a plane crash!! If you drive you may be surprised to find out that on average you have a one in four chance of having an accident`. Not only is there a huge number of pieces of saftey equipment but there is also the trained men and women to look after us.
So for those people scared of being in Planes, are they also scared of being in a car? This all means that flying is actually about 100,000 times safer than flying. Flying to Caribbean holidays is always looked forward to, as long as the air con above your seat works. Just becuase you dont physically control the plane, remember the people at the front of the plane have some training, they know what they are doing. Sometimes you will feel a little scared, but overall you are safer in a plane than you are in your car. And if you haven’t been on a plane before, then go now, the sun is shining and the weather looks great for this summer.
If you want some ideas of where to go on your first holiday abroad, then why not take a plane on holidays to Tobago, the cricket nation. Or there is always St Lucia holidays, now also a popular destination for weddings, what better way to spend your first holiday abroad.
