Mike was very candid in his episode and told us before he joined that, 'In the lead up to my flight, I had seen “signs”, I’d had dreams of a plane crashing, but once I’d got on board and spoke to my pilots, I felt as safe as anything, I had the smoothest flight I have EVER taken with any airline.'  This is his story. www.lovefly.co.uk/courses/  Membership Group - Lovefly Lounge https://lovefly.podia.com/ FB - Lovefly Insta - @loveflyhelp  #fearofflying #fearofflyingpodcasts #lovefly #Virginatlantic    Intro Music 'Fearless' Daniel King
