Fear is only in your mind. Flying is no different than riding in a car or anything else that has the potential of resulting in an accident. There are far less plane crashes than car crashes. Is your fear really of planes or dying? Because if it is of dying, there are a billion ways to get killed and you won't be able to control it when/if it happens. The only way to conquer your fears is to face them. Focus on the good... flying is less time consuming and tiring than driving. You will get to spend more time vacationing than traveling and you won't be as tired when you get back home. Take a DVD player, a good book or something that will really occupy your mind. But most of all, change your mind set and think positively about flying... after all, your going to ITALY. Enjoy your trip!!!

I am precisely the equal!! as soon as i am up within the air i am best and l love the touchdown cos i do know that my trauma is coming to an finish. I consider the equal approximately take-off and fairly pressure approximately the aircraft falling back off like its too heavy. I have flown overseas each 12 months for the final 10 years and it has step by step grew to be simpler. the first-rate recommendation i used to be given was once to cognizance at the outcome, so i simply suppose approximately my vacation on the finish of the flight, or getting house and seeing all my loved ones once more. It might sound a little bit corny, however confident pondering fairly does support. Good Luck!

Reality. Force to acknowledge that the chances of a crash are extremely slim. Keep thinking it over and over until you reach cruisinf altitude. Also, sit as far to the front of the plane as possible. Jolts are felt much stronger toward the back, and it is more quiet near the front.
Or, see your Doctor. He/she can give you a sedative for the flight to and fro.

Think logically. Statistically speaking you are many times safer travelling by airplane than by car. This includes adjusting for the higher frequency of drivers vs flight passengers.

Ok Mr East coast dweller, the take off is the worst bit (or best bit in my case), the rest is pretty dull, boredom is the main problem.
Turbulance is not that bad either!
