this is a very common fear. Just take stuff along to help pass the time. watch movies on portable dvd player, listen to music, play cards or hand held games. it is usually cold on airplanes so bring a jacket or blanket for comfort. Dress appropriately. bring snacks and drink lots of water. you can even request a seat near a flight attendant jumpseat. Dramamine works well for airsickness and will help you sleep. Enjoy looking out the window and see what beautiful scenery the world has to offer. you can always get a prescription from your doctor. always listen to flight attendant instructions. allow plenty of time to get through security especially during spring break travel. Have a great time.

think of the takeoff as an orgasim to be had... i mean it! it's a rush. a good one that takes other things off your mind.
i always thought i was afraid of hights too. i don't enjoy roller coasters or ferris wheels or anything...but then i realized that it;s not the hight i'm scared of...but it's falling that frightens me. so once you realize that, i think it will be easier to deal with planes...because for the most part planes don't fall. and that is all you will have to work on understanding. you won't mind going up as long as you realize that you will not be falling down. the likelihood of a plane falling is something like 120 times less than a car accident.
try to get the rush of the takeoff...it really is exciting...feel it build up like an orgasim.

I think u should face your fears...u'll not feel that u r too far from land..just assume that the plane is a bus...u must enjoy it
(if u r afraid of heights and u want to face it, start by climbing a ladder :P )
Goodluck

At least you know you have the fear and admit it. That is half the battle. Get an aisle seat and try to relax. It will be a good flight and you will be fine as well.
