Much safer than you are every time you get in your car to go to your local grocery store! The only reason plane crashes make the news is that when they occur - it is a large number of people. This happens so rarely and doesn't begin to equal a fraction of vehicle fatalities. I have flown extensively and am still here at the age of 52! Don't worry and enjoy your trip. If you are really nervous - ask your doctor to prescribe a mild sedative or buy a few good stiff drinks on the plane ! It helps.

flying is not something to worry about (i fly every month).
I had looked up something a few months ago and there was a thing that showed that you are more likely to have a car wreck.So its a very very slim chance. once u get use to flying u'll like to (u usually get free beverage on the flight).
Just a word of advice: make sure u do not wear any metal on u when u go through the metal detector. i forgot to take my belt off sometime last month and i got beeped. Oops.
Have a fun flight!

See "Flight Advice" from page below.
Flying is safe.

Here's the deal: There are more car crashes in one month in the USA than there have been in aviation history, total. There you have it. There is no safer way to travel and the views are amazing...there is nothing at all to fear!! You will love it. Relax, tell your flight crew it is your first time flying. They will give you a certificate, make you nice and comfy and look after you throughout the flight to make sure you are having a nice experience! Enjoy...hey, maybe you will join the "mile high club'!! tee.hee.

Flying is very safe, actually you will be in more danger in the car going to the airport than in the plane

You'll be fine. I just started flying 6 years ago and I was nervous too, but it didn't take me long to relax. Take offs are kind of fun. My 12 year old daughter says take offs are better than an amusement park ride. (-: Bring a book or magazine or something to distract you if you think you'll need it and a snack would be good. They don't offer much in the way of snacks on airplanes. Take a little money for MacDonalds if you have a layover and you're going to be flying for most of the day. Just try to enjoy the experience.

You are safer in a jet plane than you are in a car on the highway. The chance you will be hurt in a car crash is much higher than your being hurt in a plane crash.

If you feel comfortable in a car, you should feel more comfortable in a plane.

You're far safer flying than you are driving to the airport.
