Question

Im s*** scared of flying on planes, and haven't flown before. However want to get over this, what could help?

Answer 1

If you've never flown before, it's simply just a fear of the unknown.  Like, before you rode a bike for the first time, it was a little bit scary.  And, when you first rode a rollercoaster, it was a bit frightening.  But, after that first experience, you get more comfortable with it.  You'll just have to buckle down and go for it!

I fly all the time and quite enjoy it.  Take comfort in the fact that I think everyone on the flight is a little bit afraid to fly themselves.  Take off and landing is a little bit scary for everyone.  Everyone is usually so quiet during take off and landing.  

Since you've never flown before, go with a friend who has.  They can help you through any trepidation you may have prior to take off.  

It's gotten so it's almost cheaper or the same cost, at least, to fly instead of driving where you need to go--with gas prices so high.  And, it takes no time at all to go where you need to go.  It's much more convenient.  

Just go for it and have a good time!  You won't regret it.  :)
