I would suggest that you take a book, or a disc player, a cassette player (keep in mind that there are certain times on the plane that you can't USE these). Most of the time you can though and the flight attendants will announce that.
I don't like to fly either, but I see it as a fast way to get somewhere far.
My husband is now retired from the FAA as an air traffic control specialist and is also a pilot, holding many ratings. I have gone up with him in single engine planes. I become afraid if we hit a bump. If the plane you're on hits a bump, just think of it was hitting a bump in the road. That's what he taught me and it helped.
There is nothing more beautiful than getting above the clouds. I think you will really enjoy it.
I've been on commercial flights too. Just returned from a trip recently.
The best to you.

Kinda too late to overcome your fear. I usually suggest that people take a private pilot ground school class available at many community colleges. Most people have the fear because they don't understand what flying is all about. Once they have an understanding many are even willing to go up in a general aviation plane.

I now fly with none worry whatever and you'll be able to additionally in case you simply face your worry. The extra you fly the fewer frightening it's going to turn out to be, so I say simply cross with out even considering it. The extra you suppose approximately it the fewer inclined you'll be to head.

Try not to think about flying when you are on the plane. Bring a good book that will keep your attention focused. It worked for me when I flew from LA to New York, now I love to fly.

At any given time, there are about 4000 airplanes in the sky. With all these flight hours getting logged, the odds are in your favor that you'll be fine. Do your part and be patient with the Homeland Security measures.

Well if you see it as statistics, it's one of the safest ways of transportation, and in the remote case of an accident it'll probably be fast and fatal so there's nothing to worry about.
