In 2019, Aaron worked alongside Thomas Cook Airlines in a hypnotic experiment 30,000 feet in the air. They worked together to help five frequent flyers from across the UK fall back in love with flying. Prior to their flight, Aaron spent 20 minutes hypnotising them to forget all the memories of ever having been on a plane before, then convincing them this would be the first time they had set foot on an aeroplane. The participants spent eight hours under hypnosis and experienced every element of air travel as if for the first time. Once they landed, Aaron gave them back their memories, and they instantly remembered the times they had flown before. It gave them a chance to enjoy the experience of flying again, rather than it just being a means to an end.
