Answer 5

I'm not too excited about take-offs and find the best things to help is not to sit closest to a window nor near the wing.

If all fails, shut your eyes and think of the lovely destination you are heading to!

Answer 6

getting on a plane is no different from walking in to a room, or a train r something. When you board just close your window and imagine you're going on a coach journey. Ask the people around you if they could close there window during take off as you are a little nervous. Have a drink and a boiled sweet, do something to take your mind off it.

Answer 7

Not using planes!

Answer 8

Meditation and deep breathing help me, only plucked up the courage to get on a plane 3 years ago but so wish I had done it earlier, just keep walking up and down the aisle or listening to soothing music as both of those really help too.
