I'm scared of Heights so being in a large flying sardine tin doesn't help. I bring lots of things with me to keep me pre-occupied: book, crosswords, IPOD and if its a long flight I take a light sleeping pill to sleep during the flight.
I think the only thing to do is to not really think about it. When the turbulence comes I just pretend I'm on a bus going down a bumpy road...sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
Good luck.

I just think I am riding in the back seat of a car. I always bring road trip food to keep myself busy and not think about the flight. I am leaving for Germany next week a 10 hour flight I have shoestring licorice to eat on the plane. I also like to stay up late before my flight and get up early that way I am tired and sleep through most of the flight. Talk to people, watch people, entertain yourself so you don't think about anything else.

Watch the stewards and stewardesses. They fly all the time and know the ins an outs. Watch how composed and confident they are. Even if there is some turbulence they don't even know its there. It will help with realizing how safe it is.
Bring whatever hobby you can - a book, knitting, crossword puzzle, sudoku, ipod, etc to help occupy you thoughts. Some airports even rent DVD players and DVDs to help keep you occupied.
Good luck!

Read a book, watch a movie, play a game, write a story, work on computer, play on computer, sleep, brainstorm, listen to a book on tape (or mp3), listen to music, talk to a friend, read the magazines, study mathematics or chemistry...
I never have any shortage of activities to do on a plane. What do you normally do? do that, if there's room!

there is much more chance to have a car accident than plane to crash...
