Well Danny Boy….Remember if god wants to take you he will do it anytime. I say a prayer each time. And relax. If you frink have a shoot after in the air to ease your tension and anxeity. Take a Zani and it will put you too sleep. You will wake up ready to see your dad. Good Luck. I hate planes too but they are very safe. Think about it….over 2000 planes fly a day and once in a while u hear a horror story. U are fine!!! Trust

Take a pill to calm down. (smoke weed if you want. lol)
That’s what my friend had to do. (the pill part)
bring along your iPod or wutever and listen to calming music.
Keep your destination firmly fixed in your mind.

im scared of flying too. But the best thing i can say is take some one you love or care for and hold on to dear life. if they wont go then just get your butt on the plane!
References :
order a strong drink as soon as you get on, to calm you. start a conversation with the person next to you to take your mind off things. just keep your seatbelt on if it makes you happy, and keep sucking on sweets to help with the ear thing! good luck with it, you will learn to love flying in the end =)

For me, it basically helps to say "yes, I’m feeling scared, and there it is. And now I’m going to ___." Just let the fear be there, you don’t need to fight the fact that you’re feeling afraid/nervous/sweaty/sick. You don’t need to solve the fear, you can just do whatever you were going to do (in this case, flying on a plane) whether the fear is there or not.
Fear does a whole lot less if you just let it talk, and if you consciously choose to be in charge of your actions anyway. Flying while you are afraid is called being courageous!
If you like to do things that calm you, you can do that, too. Music is the best. Also it helps to look at those pretty white clouds out the window. And/or to envision yourself as a badassed warrior going into battle. Good luck!

I am the same.
My doctor prescribed diazepam and they stopped the nerves (to an extent)
One thing though, if you do take them don’t have alcohol as it stops them working.

The best solution is mind over matter. It means that if you think positive and say to yourself " Everything is going to be fine!"
Just tell yourself that nothing will happen. Also, a good solution is to fall asleep or to sit by a window seat. Look out the window and just look at the clouds. If your lucky, you might fall asleep. I travel in airplane many times every year across the world. Just make sure that you don’t think about your stomach.
About the sweating, put a cold or hot towel around your neck. If it’s a short plane ride, you could put a neck pillow in the microwave or freezer and take it in the plane.
Hope I helped!

Hey
Lots of people have a fear of flying so you are not the only one. Before you are about to go on a plane calm yourself down, take deep breaths and relax. Take a book, magazine and mp3 player for music. See at the start of the flight put your music on and listen to your fave songs and listen through out the flight and the flight will go quickly

1. why flying is the safest transport? Air plane flies in the softest medium- AIR
2. When one dies, what is the importance of 200 more people dying with him? 1=200
3. why are there Big movement in the air plane? They are relative to the size of the air plane and not to your size. That’s why you feel it strong, When you watch takeoffs and landings, they all look smooth, but inside people are being shaken. You see? the air plane might shake with movements of 20 cm to the left and right few times every second. This is a serious shake to a person, but nothing to a body of 50m long. when it bangs, it bangs on air, not on hard road rails. It doesn’t heart the air plane.
OK, after you understand these issues, try to make some experiment in flight. Try to join the fear. feel the flight. don’t shut yourself to it. try to close your ears as much as possible, and explore the difference.
If you heard the real noises of a simple car engine, you wouldn’t go on cars as well. sure.
