Fear of Flying course at Albany Airport includes 'graduation flight' to Baltimore

If you've got plane phobia, a new three-course series at Albany International Airport next month could help you overcome your fear of flying. 

The program will be led by anxiety and panic disorder specialist Shirley McMorris, Ph.D., of Guilderland, and will use cognitive behavioral techniques to help air travelers or potential air travelers "understand their fears and develop the self confidence they need to fly successfully," according to a press release from the airport.

The program consists of three classes on October 1st, October 8th, and October 10th. The final session will feature a round-trip "graduation flight" to Baltimore on board a Southwest Airlines 737 plane.

The $400 fee includes round-trip airfare to Baltimore. 

For more information, call Shirley McMorris at 518-456-5056 or the Airport Authority at 518-242-2222.
