Let's see (all on different flights): had a battery explode in flight, blew a tire on landing, sucked a rock into the prop on take-off.... Fear of height = no factor!!! (don't have time for it)

Fear of Flying because of heights

I don't generally have a fear of heights but I don't like climbling very tall ladders. (I have made a number of free fall parachute jumps but ladders are far more scary.) However, I have never found flying to generate the same fears. Even in very small planes I have found there is a sense of enclosure and unreality. If you are not uncomfortable looking out windows of tall buildings flying won't scare you. Otherwise, as others have suggested, don't look out the windows.

PS I hate flying. The thrill was lost after I started consulting and flew regularly. It's just tedious.

It is not heights I am afraid of... or even falling... it's the sudden stop at the bottom that scares me!

Flying is the most amazing experience I have had... I have a fear of heights too, but that fear doesn't really translate when you are in a plane (strangely enough)... seriously, go for it, it really is awe inspiring.

I am not sure if you guys made me feel better or worse,just reading your post make my stomach sick. Skydiving? are you crazy? Hell no.What does the airline do when people freak out. I don't think i can do it,i have read the book Fear Of Flying,but it did not help along with the fact i just finished reading it before 9/11. Isn't there another way to get to a cruise ship.

kls I have a fear of heights. But I have absolutely no problem flying. I can even look out the window of an airplane just to look down at the beautiful terrain below.
Go on the trip and have a great time.
