I recently revealed to my boyfriend, Adam, that I have arranged a trip to Africa this summer. He was excited when I told him although he did seem a little weird. Yesterday he told me that he had a fear of flying and wasn't sure if he could go on the plane to Egypt. I find this cute that he is scared of flying but it does present a bit of a problem! He has never mentioned this before because the previous holidays we have been on were in the UK or were cruises. Does anybody have any tips on how I can resolve this issue?
 
I don't mean to be rude, but I would cancel the trip and make other plans. Perhaps a trip on the Orient Express?

Seriously, if he has such a fear of flying, it's doubtful that he would enjoy the trip even if he ended up going.
 
I can't cancel the trip, I have to find a way to convince him to come. It cost £2500 and if you cancel you have to pay half of the price.
 
I would not cancel the trip, it sounds amazing. I would just try to explain that flying isn't that dangerous these days, and driving really is more dangerous than flying. I HATE flying myself, but I am able to do it.

Maybe if he understands that the flight is a small part of the vacation, and that being in Africa with you is worth the discomfort of being on board a plane? Personally, I just fall asleep and wake up when the plane lands.

Tell him to go to the Docs for some tranquilizers.
 
welcome him into the mile high club... then he will completely forget he is even in the air!

Seriously, Doctors do have answers such as this for such issues... It doesn't even have to be that strong. I have a friend that has that issue and she got through a 10-hour flight to Chile with a little pharmaceutical help...
 
Why does this sound like entrapment?
IF I do not want to fly, you would be "out of $2500 pounds.
Why do the words, "A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE SOON PARTED." come to mind?
 
Try to get him hyped up about Africa.
Don't take him to airshows.
Clonazapam is a good anti-panic medication.
 
If the doctors can give me something that makes me happy to sit and watch stitch my fingers back together, they can give your BF something to make him comfortable in an airplane.

I think you should. :) After all, there's nothing more calming on something scary than having someone who loves you next to you, hugging you, and just generally showing affection.

And promise him favours when you get there :D
 
Ativan.

Helps my grandmother fly, and me to loosen up when I'm forced to go to the dentist. It doesn't really knock you out, but you don't really care what's going on around you.
 
A phobia is a phobia and for the person suffering from it, it isn't actually very cute.

Many airlines used to have a program for people who were afraid of flying to acclimatize them to the experience. Otherwise, your bf is going to have to trust the doctor and medicate himself. As someone noted, he's not likely going to enjoy the trip as much and by the time you've gone through this, neither are you.

I can't exactly understand why you didn't discuss the trip with him before the purchase or how you've been able to not know this about him after several trips.
Something doesn't add up.
