Do you have any tips for overcoming the fear of flying?

.Yeah, u have a more likely chance of getting shot by a sniper than getting killed in an airlplane crash.

Bring music and relax

That's easy. You don't need drugs and etc... After all, drugs ARE bad for you.

Relax Techniques:

1. Bring your laptop with you. Play games :D but dont disturb your seatmates =))

2. Are you flying with someone else? Talk :) Become a chatterbox... :D ~unless there's a grouchy passenger nearby..

3. Sleep. Well, just think of memories or get in a comfy position and well, sleep!! :D Before you know it, your flight is over :D

4. Just remember this: "The pilots are smarter than I am!!" =)) =))

5. When I was younger, my dad used to make me bring play-dough =))=)) It works though. :)) I forgot I was even on a plane!!! :D

6. Take time thinking of what you're gonna do in this destination of yours. :) Think of fun things to do or what will happen :D

7. Anyone snoring? :D Count how many seconds are there in between the person's snores. =)) My dad's is 2 seconds =)) =))

8. Read the flight magazine. Or eat!! :D Or just maybe watch the "in-flight movie" :D You can also listen to music :)

9. Count how many people you have in your WHOLE FAMILY!!! :D {including in-laws, aunts, uncles [in both sides], your sister's in-laws, etc..}

10. Bring pocket books to your flights. It's always smart to bring pocketbooks :D That way, you can be entertained
without making that grouchy passenger annoyed :D

11. Well, think of the plane as a big giant bird who just swallowed you up. ~that's even scarier.... [<----- wait. that's not a relaxation technique...]

Well, that's all I can think of!
I hope I helped you!!! :D

try Xanex before a flight. lol

Maybe???

Whatever you do, do NOT use any drugs. The lower airpressure in the cabin will make you drowsy, and could harm you, which is also why one should not drink alcohol on an airplane.
Just take your I-pod and listen to your favorite music,or bring your favorite book to read. Everything else will take care of itself.

Take a bus from SF to NY. That'll make flying seem fine.

Maybe you can try just taking a sleeping pill. It also helps if you can get someone to distract you during the take off and landing. It seems like those are the scariest parts for people. Have conversation with the person sitting next to you or even just ask them to simply distract you during take off and landing. In order to calm yourself try deep breathing. Breathe in through your nose filling your body from the tummy up and then blow out of your mouth slowly.
