Hahahaha! Have you seen how small those toilets are??!

Just breathe in you'll be fine

Has anyone on this forum actually been in the mile high club?How do you explain to people sitting near the dunnies,why there are two of you coming out?From my experience of flying,as soon as you get out of your seat,everyone looks at you!!!!

I agree with you! I find it hard to believe that no-one would notice you both going in, I also can't imagine actually having room, it is tiny in there just for me & I am not a big person!

I'm a member Was a few years ago now. I thought there was plenty of room in the toilets actually




























But then I was in there on my own

OMG I just found this! http://www.howtodothings.com/family-...mile-high-club

Makes for some very um, 'educational' reading!

Yeah you'd have to be!There's not enough room to swing a cat around in,let alone anything else!I find it hard to believe anyone would do it myself.Even if no one saw you both going in,chances are when you came out,someone would be waiting to go in!!!!

Why don't you go to a hypnotist? A phobia cure is one of the simplist treatments they do. I went to one to stop smoking over 3 years ago and I have never smoked since.

I used Rescue Remedy. Seemed to help a bit, but like Deutschmaster said, it might have been just the alcohol in the stuff and the placebo effect.

Has anyone else got a child who hates flying and if so, what do you do about it?

My middle daughter is 13 and has flown a lot, including 9 times backwards and forwards to Australia without any major incidents, and is getting worse each time. It started with her just looking a bit worried as the plane took off, when she was about 6, but when we came back from Aus this Christmas she was shaking and crying for about half an hour into the flight.
My oh is working in Melbourne this year and I've just had to tell my daughter that we have to go out at Easter and for the UK summer holidays and she's already getting herself in a state about it, almost to the point where she'd rather stay with her grandparents than come with us. I've told her that she can do that if she wants, but I know she really wants to see her Dad and I don't want to reinforce the idea that there is something to be frightened of.

Any suggestions (drug free)?

CEM: It seems to me that 'teen hormones will be playing their part in this one, and that a course wouldn't have any effect. I suggest that you just do what you are already and that she "grows out" of it.

Ah I dunno - I'd probably think about a course.. it may help her whilst she does (and I am sure she will) grow out of it... if not possible, then definately some sort of relaxation techniques might be worth a look at.. breathing exercises etc etc

You may be right. I'll just have her squeezing my hand and hand her tissues as needed! She's a kid who has to know how everything works (just knowing that it does isn't enough) and she finds it hard to understand the physics of 'how planes stay up there'. It's a problem that has got worse every time she's flown and I don't want her to be limited when she's older by her fear. We have a friend whose world is very small now because he's so scared of flying. It's such a shame.
