I flew 2 weeks after 9/11 when it first happened (I flew to Aruba & we got engaged!!), and I have flown several times after as well.

Security is excellent.

I hate to fly to begin with and it was worse after 9/11. I have flown twice since than, and security is so much better. Again I was always an anxious flyer, so I have a few cocktails before the flight. You can even ask you dr for an antianxiety script for the flights

I hate to fly and when we went on our honeymoon I wasn't even thinking about 9/11. i was so excited about getting away with my new husband and going to new places.

Were you always afraid to fly? If not then try to remember those times. The security is there to try and make you feel better- for some that works. For others, you just need to jump back on the horse and have one good flight to feel better again.

Re: Flying for the 1st time since 9/11...

the first time I flew after 9/11 I was hysterical, shaking, crying as I boarded the plane. I needed to take something to calm my nerves, and I'm so NOT a nervous person. You will be fine!! It gets easier, you just have to get past that first flight. Good luck and make sure you have fun on your trip!!
