try to distract yourself

chewing gum will help you because it will help the pressure in your ear and keep your breath fresh so you won't feel like getting airplane sick

bring a portable dvd player along with earphones so you can concentrate on your movie, or an ipod can work too

listen to music and rest your eyes it will relax you =]

take along a magazine something that will keep your interest during the flight. and drink lots of water help your stomach stay in place during the flight

well goodluck! hope i helped

Have you considered hypnosis? You can learn relaxation techniques during hypnosis that you can use during your flight. Hypnosis is one of those things that you kind of have to "buy" into for it to work, meaning that you get out of it what you put into it.

Don't worry they can't make you cluck like a chicken or doing anything that isn't in your character to do. You are not a sleep, but often extremely relaxed with your eyes closed.

It may just help! Good luck! And keep your seat belt on while it's bumpy... the plane is very safe, kind of like a car on a gravel road.

You can actually get a sedative or anti-anxiety pill from your doctor prior to flying if your fear is that great. Well, if you're old enough anyways. If you're under 16, I would take an over the counter sleeping pill or benadryl to make you sleepy, so you can relax on the flight.

You need a mild sedative from doctor and get your favorite reading material to take along. Stay busy with your head
engrossed in literature that you can't take you mind off of. If you get sleepy take a nap/

have you tried to think pleasant thoughts. Or just think about it as getting on a big Greyhound bus. Have a few drinks or maybe if your into that sort of thing go to a doctor and he/she should give you some med's for this sort of thing. Or get you a DVD or Ipod and listen to some music. Read a book.

This is one of the things we worry about that we shouldn't. This will make you feel better. Ever driven in a car? Have you crashed? I doubt it. Crashing in a car is a 1 in 35 chance. Crashing in a plane is 1 in 20 million. You shouldn't worry about that.

Airplanes are so sophisticated, that you won't have to worry. Try to make the most of your flight each time. Maybe bring something to keep you entertained
