flying

Anyone else here afraid to fly? I always feel like I'm the only one. I really want to go somewhere good on our homeymoon but the thought of flying stresses me out. Our last vacation was a cruise so FH wants to do something different. Any suggestions on how to get over this fear?

I usually try to go a bit tired so I will fall asleep or I bring a book. I'm not so bad once the plane is up in the air, it's the take off I don't like.

I'm terrified of flying. I'm never doing it again. I've flown twice and the first time I got so physically sick, and the second time we hit a tiny bit of turbulence and I was in tears.

Never. Ever. Again.

Re: flying

Had a bad exp as a kid with the pressure on my ears...I was afraid for year after that. Now I bring gum, my ipod, something to read and I try to take the first flight out. I'll be sooooo tired, it won't bother me so much. My fear just gets pushed aside for my love of traveling. AND..I try to fly Jetblue...entertainment helps.

Re: flying

I have no problems flying. But FH is a problem, the last time he was on a plane-about 6 years ago, his ears started bleeding (because of his hearing aid) and they had to get him off the plane, so I have no idea how we are going to fly for our honeymoon

That's definitely a good idea. The only thing is I want to be knocked out before take-off. Wonder if thats possible

Thanks so much everyone! Glad I'm not the only one. Sometimes I feel ridiculous for being terrified.
