Answer 1

Just remember that air travel is safer than riding in a car. I used to be afraid of flying but realized that sitting in a window seat helps me. I can look out and I feel less enclosed.

Answer 2

Do you have a fear of Disneyland? Or amusement parks? The rides are scary at first, then they are no big deal, just fun. That is flying. It is scary at first, then cool. Turbulence reminds me of the Indiana Jones ride @ Disneyland. Just go with it, have fun with it. Remember your fears as a little kid and how silly they are now? Same thing.

Also, what good does it do you to worry? It does not change anything and for the most part it is for nothing. Enjoy the ride and breathe.

haha! i'm not afraid of heights or shaking i'm scared of surviving a crash cause i don't want to be eaten by sharks which is very very unlikely. it's cause i saw jaws as a kid. but otherwise i recommend you listen to music fairly loud and keep yourself occupied with a book at the same time. it works for me! >__< when i draw i tend to feel the shake cause my lines get screwed up! i remember my mom told me man! did you feel that turbulence it was bad! she had to tap my shoulder cause i couldn't hear her even though she was sitting next to me. that's how deaf i was at the moment. haha! i said no, i didn't and i really didn't. I was a litle sad since i like turbulance it's like a rollercoaster or a giant drop in six flags!

Answer 4

just relax, millions of flights go on everyday, why wouldnt you're be ok??? just keep that in the back of your mind,

take an ipod and as soon as you board the plane take some medicine that will make you drowsey and fall asleep with your ipod on, dont worry they will wake you when you land!

Dramamime.....I think that's how it's spelled.

Answer 6

I'm not sure you can really get over it...I'm afraid of heights and kind of afraid of flying. The 1st time I had to fly was 3 months after 9/11. I was petrified but thankfully I was traveling with a cpl of ppl I knew. Since then I've flown about 1/2 a dozen more times and I still get really nervous especially during take off and landing. I wish you the best..maybe you can talk to your doc to get a mild sedative to relax you a little bit for the trip.
