It is normal to feel that way cuz there are many that are scared of the plane too. I dont feel that way cuz i enjoy flying and getting on the plane, but I understand why others do.
Please dont worry. Your plane will not crash. I guarantee it. There are many flights per day and all of them land safely.
your going to be safe, i promise :-)

It's very normal to feel that way, it's a fear of not having control. I get scared all the time, and I fly a dozen times a year (sometime very far). Everyone is going to tell you that you have little to fear and they are right. You are much more in danger of dying on the car ride to the mall then in a plane. Yet you have no fear when you want to go to the mall do you?
Plane travel is the safest method of travel after trains. Just understand that nothing is going to happen and being a little fatalistic in a weird way helps.

I fly almost a hundred times a year and I'm not scared - I love it actually. There are so many car crashes each year and lots of people are killed that way - but you don't hear about them on the news. You only hear about plane crashes because it's big. But it doesn't happen too much. A pilot wouldn't fly if he or she thought there was a lot of danger because they don't want to be in a plane crash either.

I always have feared going on airplanes because of the same thing. Im always thinking that its going to crash or something. So I dont find nothing weird in that because I feel the same way. No matter how many times I go on an airplane I still have that fear in me.

Planes are made to be in the air!! Turbulance is what scares me the most and I know the pilots are laughing when it hits because they know it is safe. Just know it is safer than driving. Just bring some headphones to listen to music or watch the movie and take a nap. And I always look at the flight attendants. If they're not scared, then I shouldn't be!!

The odds of a plane crashing are very slim. You have much more of a chance getting into a car crash. MUCH MORE.

They say you have a higher chance of crashing in a car. That's a chance I'm willing to take. These feet will NEVER leave the ground.:)

have yourself a couple of drinks before you board the plane and maybe find you a cute guy on the plane to flirt with for the plane ride.
