Okay so I am going to Vegas tomorrow with 2 of my BMs and while I am SO super excited I am also PETRIFIED of flying! Somehow, I have convinced myself that I am going to die in a plane crash... I know it is crazy but I have such bad stomach pains right now and I could not sleep last night thinking about this! I was even researching the odds of dying in a plane crash and what to do if your plane goes down... I saw odds ranging from 1 in 52 million to as low as 1 in 250,000!
Am I totally nuts or does anyone else have this kind of anxiety??????????

Every time I fly. And I fly on average 4 times a month.
Relax. You will be fine. Everything will be OK.

dont stress, I just came back from FL and there was a hurricane there and if I got back okay, then you will be just fine! Trust me. Believe it or not, flying is the safest way to travel. Dont worry and just have fun!

Wow! Reading your post just stressed me out! I fly at least 1-2 times per month for work... Just stay calm... maybe take something to take the edge off?
You will be fine! Stop thinking about it!

I am fine on planes. I get nervous but you will be fine. Try to enjoy your trip... I wish I was going to Vegas. Maybe you can take a sleeping pill so you will sleep on the plane.

I get the same why....once you are in the air you will be fine....have a drink before you get on to relax yourself....

I am the exact same way. My advice to you- drink some wine and beers on the plane and you'll be fine!

I am bringing sleeping pills with me so hopefully that will help.. We have to wake up at 3am for the flight so I am pretty sure I will be tired already!
It's funny because I never used to be scared of flying.. It just so happens that the last three times I flew it was during a storm and I had turbulence the WHOLE WAY all three times! That really made me terrified of flying!!!
It doesn't help my nerves that there 149 people were just killed in a plane crash in Madrid........Those poor people.. what terrible news...

This may sound kind of silly...I don't get nervous flying. I figure if the plane goes down, I'm dead. What do I care? I feel bad for the loved ones I leave behind but if I'm dead...no need to worry.

I def don't think your insane. I'm fine on planes but I can no longer drive over bridges. Which poses a problem for someone getting married on LI and living in the BX.
You'll be fine though!! Just relax and have an AWESOME trip!

So odd you said that!! I used to be nervous about NOTHING, planes, bridges, roller coasters, etc. Now, I get nervous with turbulence, crossing long bridges, and I will NOT go on a roller coaster even if I've been on it 100 times before. At this rate, by the time I'm 60, I won't be able to leave the house, so I'd better make alot of money to buy a compound.

SAME HERE!!! I was FINE with everything! Now I cannot do a lot of things but my two biggest fears are planes and tunnels... I will literally cry if I get stuck in traffic in a tunnel.. I don't know WHAT happened to me...The older I get, the more thigns scare me!
