When you hear people who love to travel talk about their last trip or the next one they’re planning, you don’t often think that they might have a fear of flying – but according to some statistics, as many as 40% of the people who fly say it causes them some amount of anxiety. Even people for whom flying is a regular part of life often have to take very specific measures in order to avoid getting completely overcome by their fears.
Of course, if you were terrified to fly you could find alternate means of transportation – or just stay home. But since that’s not feasible or realistic for most people who love to travel, a fear of flying is something that needs to be dealt with rather than ignored. Otherwise you’ll look with longing at all those offers for cheap flights to places you want to go – we’d rather help you take advantage of those deals!
If you think only hardcore sports fans travel across the planet to see their team play in a big tournament or a favorite player take the court or even teams they don’t follow participate in a big game – then you’re mistaken. Sporting events can be a great excuse to travel somewhere new, and it’s a great way to get involved in something that isn’t generally thought of as a mainstream tourist event.
