Testimonials
Since we began running courses in mid-2013 we have helped over 100 clients with their anxieties around their fear of flying. Here’s what some of them had to say…
We are proud to have helped over 1000 Australian’s back into the air. We enjoy getting to know each and everyone of our clients and really understanding their anxiety and their drive to get back flying. Many of our clients have done our course to help them in their professional lives or to finally travel to see family and friends abroad.
Here is what some of them have said about their experience with us:
It’s as if the space in my head once taken up by blind terror is now occupied by a kind of personalised flight manual. I get off the plane feeling like Yuri Geller, as if I’ve performed some kind of spoon-bending magic trick.Three weeks later, it’s the same on the return flight. Despite accidentally seeing the unbelievable footage of a 747 cargo plane falling from the sky in Afghanistan three days before I fly, I do not think of death once while I’m in the air. Next time, I’m not even going to touch the fuselage.” – Amanda Hooton, Good Weekend (Sydney Morning Herald)
“He really went into the nitty-gritty of how there are six or seven back-up plans and systems and how there would need to be multiple failures for something to really go wrong.
“I’m an analytical person, someone who needs that sort of evidence. It was a complete turnaround for me. And the session in the simulator, looking at the instruments and tools, how the plane takes off and how it flies, allowed me to picture what happens in the cockpit, to see that it’s not all frantic and a scene of mayhem if the weather’s bad.” –

“You may hear this all the time, but I just wanted to tell you that your therapy has changed my life for the better.”
– my flights were all fantastic and I was so calm, I honestly surprised myself and can happily say that I’m no longer nervous AT ALL when flying. I did all flights on my own and it was so helpful to know that I knew what all of the noises meant, had exercises to do in case I became anxious however I honestly didn’t need to calm myself down – it was incredible, I actually enjoyed the flights and was even upgraded on my LA – SYD flight! Thank you again, truly I was so crippled by my fear before the course and now I’m a totally different person and am even planning my next trip.“ – Gaby, NSW
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from the session. I think I was a bit worried that the pilot would be a bit stiff and unsympathetic. Michael was the exact opposite. Although he obviously doesn’t share my fears about flying, he was nonetheless very considerate, understanding and sympathetic about my fears and worries around flying. He made me feel at ease from the start and his enthusiasm and passion about flying was contagious.” – Nicole Avery, VIC
I put everything into practice – ie. things I’d usually avoid. I sat at the window seat, looked out the window to the ocean, didn’t drown out noises of take off. Did the breathing exercises and muscle relaxation, and kept reinforcing positive thoughts. Was actually pretty proud of myself, and my fiancee said it was the most relaxed he’s been on a flight with me, as I didn’t grip his hand once or look at him panicked! So that was awesome! I’m feeling much more positive about flying in general!” – RL, NSW
“Since working with the incredible and supportive team at Flight Experience, I have not only overcome this fear, but now look forward to getting on a plane. Something I didn’t think was possible.”
“I had a little tear as we landed not because I was relieved we were down but relieved that the experience was 100% better from start to finish.”
Having recently completed the Fear of Flying course through Flight Experience WA it gave me the confidence to fly and I recently returned from a two week holiday in Ireland. I could not have done this without the help and support of the entire team at flight experience. The team worked with me one on one throughout the many aspects of flying and my fear, they taught me the techniques to relax and walked me through their Boeing 737-800 simulator looking at take offs and landings the noises that the aeroplane makes. This gave me the complete confidence to get on my flight home. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who suffers from similar anxieties that I used to have, enrol on one of Flight Experience WA’s courses.” – P.M., WA
“I departed Brisbane this morning and have just arrived in Melbourne. I must admit, I was apprehensive. All the way up until I boarded the plane.
“You may hear this all the time, but I just wanted to tell you that your therapy has changed my life for the better. I smiled for the whole duration of the flight. I can now work and travel as I please all because of your helpful knowledge.” – Name Omitted
What I was not expecting was that ‘crazy lady’ just never turned up. I was sure it was a fluke so when she didn’t appear the second flight I felt confident that I could fly anywhere!
”So after 4 flights all longer than 13 hours I really have had my over sensitive brain sensor turned off. I can’t thank you enough, and for the first time in many, many years I can see myself getting on a plane all by myself to go anywhere in the world. In fact I hope to fly somewhere, anywhere really soon.
”So thanks again to you and your team. You guys are amazing and I will not stop talking about the work you do to people who tell me they have a fear of flying.” – Lauren Youl, VIC

I put some Pink Floyd on as we came in and landed as cool as a cucumber. I had a little tear as we landed not because I was relieved we were down but relieved that the experience was 100% better from start to finish. I had a perfect napkin at the end which I showed to Jen. Jen was also much calmer and happier.”
“Thank you Natalie, words cannot describe how this will change our lives for the better. You and Michael do wonderful work.” – Nick, QLD
