Answer 1

Flying is actually really fun once you get used to it

It might be a little scary if you're going by yourself.

But once you're in the air, you cant really feel a thing :).

Answer 2

I went last summer on a flight for 14 1/2 hours nonstop. and let me tell you, just like you I was worked up about the turbulence, taking off, landing, and etc. The thing is when you get in that plane and its taking off is the best part because its a lot of fun, landing kinda sucks but the flight will be alrite if u bring sumthin 2 keep urself busy and theres nothing 2 b afraid of, i thought i would experience turbulence like in the movies turns out i didnt end up feeling the turbulence lol

Answer 3

Air travel isn't necessarily fun, but it is safe.  Even safe rides can be scary.  Consider amusement park rides.  Who knows?  You might have fun.

It is generally very safe.  Just do as you are told by air-line personnel.  Good luck!

Answer 4

A little, especially if you hit a bit of turbulence.  Remember this one thing - the plane was built by the low bidder.  That'll pucker you right up!

Answer 5

I was a little scared the first time I went on a plane, but it was a smaller plan with only two rows in the entire plane. If it is a bigger plane, you probably won't feel that uncomfortable. I acutally sat next to a lady who was very understanding and nice during the flight. She really helped me through it by talking to me. Maybe the person ur next to will help u also. If not just bring some music to listen too that would normally relax u.

Answer 6

The first time you fly, yes you will be a little scared. It depends on what age you are. If you are very young you might love it, if you are older say teen or older you might be a little scared. My advise bring magazines, have some motion sickness pills with, and don't sit by a window. Take my advice especially the last tip if this is your very first time flying you might be a little scared because your so high up. But don't worry flying is a lot of fun, millions of people fly everyday!!!
