ABSTRACT
Travelling by air can be both enjoyable and exciting. However, air passengers can also find that the experience includes periods of boredom, frustration, tiredness, anxiety or a combination of these emotions. Passengers on the same flight will typically be flying for very different reasons and will experience the flight in very different ways, but one thing that all the passengers will have in common is that they are away from home. Even the most seasoned traveller probably understands the stresses that this can bring and could describe homesickness. In this chapter, the reader will be introduced to homesickness, its effects and what can be done to alleviate it.
