When they come off the aeroplane at the end of the day, there's tears of emotion. You hear things like, 'I'm a changed woman thank you so much, I can go and visit my grandchildren in Australia'.

"I have an extreme fear of flying... but I have been doing some hypnosis lately, and one of the requirements is to remove all of those superstitions."

While boarding the plane, she had received a phone call: her sister in Sydney had died suddenly in her sleep, and her sister's wife had woken up next to the body. My seatmate was due in Melbourne to pick up her kids and in that moment as the final boarding call sounded she had no ability to process the news, let alone work out who to call for help.
