Fear of Flying?

First of all I have seen Final Destination and it is just a movie, I watched that movie the night before I left on a trip, and it never bothered me! I fly so many tI'mes a year I have lost count and im only 15! crashing right after take-off is extremely unlikely, so unlikely it like finding a needle in a hay field!!! It is the pilots job to get you to your destination safely! There is nothing to worry about, flying is by far the safest way of travel, millions of people fly everyday. Airport safety has become so strict it's not even funny anymore! You are not allowed to bring liquids more than 3 ounces on the plane! I fly on average of 14 plane trips a year and nothing happens! The best thing to do is entertain or occupy your time. Bring a book or your favorite magazines, a portable, music player, and try sleeping if you can. your doc will be able to give you some sort pills if you want. If the tray table tab comes off I would get of the plane! (just a joke!) There is nothing to worry about so stop worrying, and have a great trip! I would love to go to Turkey someday!!!

Happy Travels :)

I don't have statistics on flying but I do know that you are more likely to die on the way to the airport than you are in the air. My husband is a pilot and believe me I worry more about him driving the half hour from the airport home than I do the 1000's of hours he flies every year.

You are probably just a little nervous about your trip. Consider the following: Have you been to Turkey before? Are you leaving for a long time? Is there any unfinished business you have at home that is troubling you? Can you afford this trip? All of these can cause us to be anxious.

Dreams are funny things, sometimes they have merit, other times its just our mind playing tricks. If my dreams came true I would now be Mrs Brad Pitt and working as a Victoria Secrets model. Enjoy your trip!!

Yeah the plane has 80% of crashing but dont worry it will be a quick death posibly 10secs from impact :)

Unless you burn alive thats a different story. Have a good flight :)

Don't be scared of an airplane. If you have flown before just think about all the fun you had before. Maybe to calm your nerves you could bring something to keep your mind off the plane. (like an ipod )Sometimes when i'm scared i act like the plane is a roller coaster. To me it's so much fun. Stay up the night before so you'll at least sleep for a couple of hours. And just remember you are most likely to be in an car accident then to be in a plane crash!
Hope you have fun!!

Its ok to have fears about flying, but it is the safest way to travel, it is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that you will crash right aftertake off and infact at all, i have been flying all my life and not once has anything bad happend, to be honest the chances of crashing is like finding a needle in a hey stake... maybe even 3.. but yea it is ok to have a fear just dont let it of take you, FLYING IS FUN =)

The thing is, people get anxious when they watch the air crash shows, and we assume that that will happen to us. Think of all the flights that didn't go wrong. Those shows only show bad flights because it makes good T.V. You've got nothing to worry about.

Dreaming of palne crashes is a good thing it mean new plans, a new direction in life etc. The fact that the plane is coming down after take off means you are not realising youre true potential in life.

You will be fine, ask youre doc for some chill pills and he will give you them if you think they are needed x

I don't have any stats for you but I was just watching a show on how safe flying is today. It seems the regulations have gotten stricter and they are fixing anything that could possibly be a problem before anything happens rather than after. There has been a lot of delays in flights and canceled flights due to safety checks ,just to be on the extra safe side. I am sure you have heard that flying is way safer than driving, so just keep that in your head and stop watching final destination for goodness sake! Have fun in Turkey, I wish I was going.

Well if you get yourself on the plane... that's a start. You just need to R-E-L-A-X I've been on planes so many times i can't even count and I'm only 12! But watch the flight attendent during the saftey procedrus (idk how 2 spell) and that might calm you thinking whatever happens you know how to handle it. And no offense, I'm armenian so i HATE TURKISH PEOPLE! No offense if ur turkish or anything because I'm sure you are a VERY nice person but youknow just saying.
