Traveling by plane is one of the fastest and easiest forms of transportation to get from point A to point B. It can be a way to realize a much needed vacation, go back home to see family or friends, or head out on a business trip.
However, flying is a common fear and can be an extremely difficult experience for those who need to travel. In fact, Nearly 1 in 3 adults are afraid of flying, suffering from aerophobia.
