Hi little grace you might be surprised but there are a lot of people like your self who are afraid of flying! Try your doctor for some diazepam these will take the edge off things! I myself don't like flying my first flight was in 1994 Gatwick UK to florida a full 7 1/2hours then 2008 Glasgow to Rome I managed to cope quite well in both trips! There are also self hypnosis dvds that can help I wish you well and that you find something that helps you take care david

I swear by them for flying. I managed a 5 hour flight. Also good for any other occasion when you feel panicky.
