Hello, I HAD the same problem. I got that sickish feeling in my belly, the butterflies. I asked the same questions. Most of them I didn't understand but some of them I did.

Here are the things that helped me through flying:

When your at the airport bring a blanket or teddy bear that is special to you so you can squeeze it while you about to take off.

Your going to have a great time where your going, right? So if you worry about the flight you will forget about the fun you will have. When your flying think about the stuff your going to do when you get there.

Think of your favorite ride and make the flight seem like it.

If you sleep the time will fly by..... That's what I always do.

BRING GUM BRING GUM BRING GUM BRING GUM BRING GUM!!! If you don't your ears will pop and hurt when you take off and land. Chew it until you get used to the latitude your at.

Bring stuff to play with, and very important, go to the bathroom before the flight. The bathrooms are tiny an the toilet doesn't have water in it. And the sinks are confusing to use.

GOO LUCK AND DON'T WORRY. If you worry you will get stressed an if your stressed then you will probably forget something.

Hope I helped

troybuddy has suggested Benadryl, Valium and Alcohol.
Not a good mixture.

drop a benadryl tablet along with the valium, get a portable dvd player and your favorite 2 chik fliks and a set of headphones. Are you 21? If so have a drink.

EFT is an accupressure technique and is particularly helpful in overcoming phobias very quickly. check out www.emofree.com or you can contact me. It is easy to learn and can really amaze you in how well it works.

I usually hit the airport bar for one or two drinks to calm my nerves. Don't get plastered or the airline may refuse to board you. Also a drink in flight could help at the high altitude. Happy flying!

It's just the air. It's no big deal. You aren't sitting on the wing or anything.

Flying is safer than driving.

deep breath slowly and enjoy a good book. your pilots are extremely qualified and you will be very safe

Valium is a quick fix - if you have constant anxiety/panic attacks you need something that is non-addictive and WORKS! doctors have prescribed benadryl, atenolol, Prozac, etc. for me - nothing worked except ZOLOFT!! i had to fly to lake oswego Oregon from Seattle to train someone - basically a 30-45 minute flight and i thought i i would just die ! the am arrival wasn't optimum for having 2 glasses of wine, but the pm did it for me! you so totally have my empathy!

Don't take a window seat.....and before boarding the plane, buy some magazines to read. Everytime im traveling i do that and reallyyy helps. Don't forget ur ipod and relaxxx nothing wrong is going to happen.
Good Luck
