Small group Fear-of-flying Seminar

Those affected learn in our flight fear seminar how to successfully counter their fears. The goal is to train participants so they can fly without worries or fear.

The Fear-of-Flying Weekend Seminar is designed as a small-group seminar for six to 12 participants. Currently, the seminar takes place in Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich and the Opfikon district of Zurich, each in close proximity to the airport, and is held in German. In addition to information about technology and psychology, tools to combat the fear of flying are also taught and practiced. At the end of the seminar, the group will fly together with Lufthansa or SWISS to a European destination within a scheduled flight.

The course is designed for people who would like to overcome their fear of flying.

The participants of our Fear-of-Flying Weekend Seminar learn what happens to the aircraft during the different stages of a flight. They learn, for example, why turbulence is not a problem for the aircraft and what the different noises mean, from takeoff to landing. Additionally, the learn methods from behavioral therapy that have proven effective in dealing with fears. At the end of the seminar, the group will fly together to a European destination.
