Take a sleeping pill and try to sleep on the plane. Or what I do is take a blanket put it over my head, take a book, and a mini light and read!

Stay up the night before and sleep on the way.

If you are going will your family you can take sleep pills. Just keep busy is my suggestion.


guppyboy
try to sleep, read, or listen to music. Or bring a word puzzle book to pass the time.

don't worry, for most of the flight it will be just like your on the ground, especially since you don't have a window to look out of. In fact its actually very boring. As far as dealing with the fear, if you are of age, have a drink or two beforehand, and if your not, then just keep your eyes closed and pretend you're in a car

do you like roller coasters? if so then its exactly the same! Dont get a window seat. My mom hated flying but she works at a hospital and she gets Valium to take before boarding. But im not sure thats an option for you. You'll be fine, just do deep breaths

I would suggest taking a benadryl. It will help calm you down and make you a little sleepy.
