This will be my first flight. It will last for 17 hours, I do not like heights or anything. I have no choose but to go. Everyone says that you can feel everything? I am confused can you feel it the whole trip being that high?Do they have things are medications to help you with this? We have a family of 4 will we all sit together? What to do for that long of time? Please help only serious answer? Is it going to be a lot of pressure I really don't want to freak out on the plane being that so much going on in the world today?

Bring sleeping pills. And an ipod. I think you will get to sit with your family. Definately sleep. Sleep will help a lot. And no you can't really feel being that high. A lot of times I forget that I am flying when I fly. Especially if the plane is really big and you're kind of near the middle, you can't see out the windows so you just feel like you're in a really weird loud room with lots of people for a long time that isn't moving, not in a soup can flying thousands of feet above the surface of the earth, and then when you come out of the room you are magically in another country/hemisphere. My brain can't really grasp the concept that I am as high and going as fast as I am so I just sit patiently and look forward to the ladies bringing me soda and cookies. Sometimes they play movies on the plane and that kills a few hours. You can put movies on your ipod if you have the video time so you can kill a few more hours. Set a plan for yourself like, for the first three hours I'll watch titanic/whatever movie they are playing, then I'll sleep for 6 hours (9 hours down) then two more movies, and that way you can feel like you aren't going crazy.
I think you will forget that you are flying after the first hour or so, and your biggest challenge will be coping with the bordem. Good luck!

You don't know you are high. You feel the bumps as if in a car. I have flown monthly for years, and I prefer flying to riding in a car. You can ask to be seated together. One person may have to sit across the isle from the rest. Speak with your doctor about medication. You will sleep. There will be movies and refreshments offered that will keep you entertained. Bring something to read. Make sure you get up and walk around during long flights. Otherwise, you can develop blood clots in your legs. So, go potty often, or just get up and walk the isle...many do. You are very safe on airplanes now!!! Don't let the gossip frighten you. The biggest problem is getting tired of sitting and doing nothing. So, bring an Ipod, books, etc. Bring snacks purchased in the airport...after security check. You can munch out and make eveyone else jealous.

Maybe you can educate yourself about some of the things you will expect when you fly...most people say that take-off feels funny because the plane lifts off of the ground almost vertically but once its in the air it levels out...the only other thing that you might want to expect is turbulence... it is a pocket of air that most planes will fly into...it almost feels like the plane rock suddenly ...be assured that it is very normal!!! You know if I were you I would try to save my sleep for the plane...17 hours...if you can sleep for at least half of it then you have less to worry about!!! Also I would take some Dramamine with you. it's for motion sickness!! Do you get or sick or feel funny after a few roller coaster rides if you do the I would highly recommend you take some before you get on the plane!!! How old are you ? If you are over 18 maybe you can go to your doctor and tell him you are feeling very nervous about the plane ride and maybe he can prescribe some Valium ...one for the plane ride out and one for the plane ride in!!!
remember the chances of you being in an automobile accident are much higher than being in a plane accident!!
try to to have good time!!
