Learn a little bit about flying. That will help. One thing you can do is poke your head in the flight deck door (if the pilots aren't too busy), introduce yourself, and explain your reservations with flying. They'll be more than happy (again, unless they're busy dealing with the FMS or Clearence Delivery or something) to put your mind to rest by explaining their qualifications and some of the systems onboard.

take sleeping meds.

It depends on how long your first flight is. You could try taking Dramamine if you think you'll get drowsy off of that, but if it's a short flight, you might have to fore go any sedatives. If you're horrified of flying and you're staying in the same country, why not take a train or drive?

yes, you can go to your family Dr. and the Dr can prescribe you an anxiety medication for that. it will make you relax and fall asleep on the plane..

Have a great trip..

I would just pop a Valium before boarding.

your not the only one! im scared to death of flying but i usually just listen to my ipod! it helps so much! also if you cant fall asleep then you can also do something to take your mind off of the fact you are flying- take a book or if theres someone with you just talk to them! hope this helped!

You should try flying via Delta Song Airlines. There are built in TVs that will keep your mind off flying.

Your chances of being involved in an aircraft accident are about 1 in 11 million. On the other hand, your chances of being killed in an automobile accident are 1 in 5000. Statistically, you are at far greater risk driving to the airport than getting on an airplane. However, the perception is that you have more control over your fate when you are in your car than as a passenger traveling on an airplane. Experience shows otherwise, considering that over 50,000 people are killed on the highways every year. Media coverage would suggest that airline crashes happen every day. Studies have shown one would have to fly once a day every day for over 15,000 years in order to statistically be involved in an aircraft accident"
Flying is very very safe. Don’t worry about terrorists that is the least likely thing to go wrong on a commercial flight in the US these days. Flying in the United States is very safe, there has not been a major airline crash in the US since November of 2001! That is a long time for no major crashes and only on fatality in the last seven years for the Major Airlines in the US.
Even when there is a problem on an airplane, if an engine fails on takeoff or an engine fire etc.. 99% of the time the plane lands safely. Planes these days are amazing piece of technology and the pilots are trained better than ever. If you not afraid to drive in a car you should not be afraid to fly in a plane.
Just sit back relax and try to enjoy the flight. Its one of the safest things you can do much safer than driving a car, walking down the street, or even sleeping in your house. More people have died on North American highways in the year 2006 than the amount of people who have died in powered flight aviation whole 104 year history!
Also the best way to completely get over your fears is go to you local General aviation airport and take flying lessons! Once you fly in a small airplane a few times and learn that airplanes fly and that’s all they do you will be much more confident with flying on commercial planes. You will learn a lot with a few flying lessons. I could even teach you a lot by just showing you my Microsoft Flight Simulator. Flying is a great experience, once you get used to it and learn what makes airplanes fly etc.. your fears go away trust me, I used to be a little bit scared to fly too. Now I LOVE it.

Well I'm not afraid of flights at all but I always drink alchohol before the flight. Walk or stumble I've never missed a connection flight :)
