If it is a rational, "I think flying is very dangerous" fear:
Remind her that you have a MUCH higher chance of getting in a car accident than a plane accident. Show her the statistics- I think the percent of car accidents is something like 75 times greater than plane accidents...
If it is an irrational, "Being in the plane, suspended by nothing, creeps me out" fear:
Take some medication
Keep her calm
SLEEP (sleeping meds)
The flight attendants can be very comforting
Keep her mind off it by talking to her
Hope this helps!

There is a bigger chance for her to get hurt in a car accident than in the airplane. I used to be afraid of flying too, but I got over it by flying more. Basically, once you are in the airplane, all you can really do is relax, pray a lot, and enjoy the movies and bad food.

Remind her that she is not going to fly and that she has nothing to worry about. Try to get her to watch airline videos and just calm her down by spending some quality time together. ZThis shoudl rid the fear. It's like going on a roller coaster. the first time it is scary. Then you want to go again and again. Good luck
