Many people are afraid of flying. The whole idea of being strapped into a piece of metal that is hurtling through the air (at tens of thousands of feet) seems to defy all of our senses; how can something so big and heavy fly? Whilst many are able to see this at face value and accept the situation; just realise that it works and to run with it, there are some who find it a terrifying experience and one that requires all the will power in the world to undertake (and if you see the aforementioned way of describing how people fly, who can blame them?). Of course, you can make yourself fly if you want to enough and for people who have a fear of flying, it can be a necessary evil for a good holiday, yet the whole experience is made much worse by stress. If, on top of the stress that is being felt about flying, you are stressed about whether you make the flight, the effects can be disastrous in terms of setting foot on the plane.

The main reason people fear missing the flight is because they drive down on the day; tempting fate as it is likely that events will transpire to result in you being stuck in traffic for much longer than expected. So why put yourself through this hassle when you can stay in one of the fantastic hotels close to the airport – no traffic means catching your plane and results in less stress!
