Answer 1

Ha ha it's OK I'm 14 and i ride a plane 3 times a month. and i usually go alone and its alright nothing scary maybe be a few bumps. and your ears might hurt....a lot or a little bit...take some gum and chew the whole time and bring music to listen to. to tell you the truth im actually riding a plane tomorrow to visit my dad. its OK i was scared too when i first rode. cause i was alone. I'm used to it. I'm  no longer scared or excited riding a plane. it is just a regular thing i do. its OK good luck.

How exciting, well you have nothing to worry about, you may experience some 'turbulence' if there is mad weather but this is no more dangerous than a coach going over pot holes.

You can buy some anti-sickness pills before you fly though and that will stop any air sickness.

Also, on take off and landing make sure you chew some gum and swallow a lot and drink PLENTY of water.

wear comfortable clothing too.

Air travel is the safest way to go.  When you enter the secure area you have to go through a metal detector, no bigggie.  You will have to remove your shoes and and metal items from your pockets like keys or cell phone.  Everything goes through the x-ray machine.  You can't take any liquids, gels or sprays onto the plane unless they are very small amounts.  Three ounces or less each.  Try to get a window seat.  This gives you something to watch when flying.  If you sit near the wing you will have the smoothest ride.  I don't like the back part of the plane.  It's noisy.  You can bring an MP3 player and a DS is you have one.  If you get motion sickness or dizzy real easy then you will want to take something for it before the flight.  Dramamine or Bonnine works well and will help you sleep if you want to.  Just sit back and relax.  Almost everyone on the plane with you will be an experienced flyer.  You can talk to the people next to you and they can help you stay calm.  My ex-girlfriend was terrified of flying but she survived several flights with me holding her hand.  (Mine still hurt.  lol ).  My little girls fly by themselves every year, Texas to Florida.  They like it, you will too.   Have a nice flight.

its ok .. my 14 year old daughter was scared out of her mind ... she was so shakey that she couldn't even get her seat belt on ... even though she was nervous, she still went on ... just chew lots of gum and yawn a lot ... once you get off, you will realize that it was really fun
