💬 After The Deck 747 Session

“She’s now planning for the flight and is going to download her favourite film, bring colouring stuff and in her words ‘it doesn’t feel as scary now’. That itself is massive.”

— Donna
✈ Outcome & Future Travel

“Now she’s talking about where else she’d like to fly to, so thank you for giving me the tools I needed to help her, and she actually picked up more than I thought she did herself!”

Hannah's Story

💬 After The Deck 747 Session

"I did the fear of flying 2 hour course a few weeks ago with Phil. It was really informative and helpful. I flew out on Sunday to Dubrovnik and I was much less anxious, and generally had more confidence in the pilots and the measures they take for safety. The extra information I had learnt really helped."

— Hannah
After The Real Flight

"Landing back in Manchester during peak storm gusts, the co-pilot explained what you had told me: that they have multiple options, holding patterns, go-arounds, or diversions. Whilst it was turbulent, I braced for the descent and it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I imagined. The experience hasn't put me off flying at all."

✈ Outcome & Future Travel

"The main thing is that I wasn't anywhere near as anxious as I would’ve been a few months ago. I actually didn't feel that phased at all—I am quite shocked at how calm I was. The combination of meeting with you, your reassurance, and speaking to the co-pilot reinforced my sense of safety and trust in the pilots, the plane and ATC. I hope to now continue to fly with confidence!"
