I don't have a deadly fear, I just get really nervous. I'm scared of heights really. I'm asking this because I have to catch a plane to San Francisco in about 2 hours. I have butterflies in my stomach right now lol
 
I was the 1st time i flew but got over it quickly, im scared of heights too but i love ta look out the window when im flying, i suggest if it really bothers you, dont look out the window an try an fall asleep. Its really not that bad.
 
i was never afraid of heights or anything, but i recently took my first flight (yes i'm 26 and haven't been in a plane before now lol). i was nervous before i got on the plane, but once we got in the air i realized there was nothing to be afraid of and it was really cool
 
The best thing you can do is read a book and not look out the window and possibly wear headphones listening to some soothing music. I hate flying with a passion and sometimes really panic, but a few times I've reduced my panicing by taking the focus away from what's going on.
 
the only thing that bothers me when i fly is the pain in my ears. :mad:

relax, listen to music, read a book/magazine.
 
ive been flying my whole life, since i was 6 months old. i have no problem with it. i actually like flying. i just hate being in a small tube cramped in there like spam with other people. plus it gets really hot on those planes.
 
I have flown before, and yes I was nervous. I tried reading, and listening to music, didn't really help much. It was the thought of being in a giant metal tube, 15,000+ feet above earth, with nothing but ocean below.
 
Naw, never really had a fear of flying.. I actually like airplane rides..

True.. Went to NC last year and my flight got delayed.. so I went to the Chillis at JFK International, sat their for like a hour and a half and got shitfaced by myself.. I remember trying hard as hell to keep my composure checking into my gate..
 
just remember, ur more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash (if i remember correctly)

ur much safer in the air

it is also said that you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning than getting in a plane crash. there must have been a lot of people struck by lightning the past few years.

that's a bloated statistic. here's why...

cars travel at variable rates of speed. most car accidents are not high impact and usually result in minor injury as opposed to fatality. air crashes are high impact and usually complete fatality.

so yeah, i'd rather be in a car accident than a plane accident. likewise i wouldn't mind getting in a few dozen as opposed to one plane accident.
 
i dont like flying,not because im scared but everytime i get in a plane,people always give me weird looks.i gave it alot of thought,and i still cant figure out why
