Hate to Fly

[magnetoos]

Does anyone else hate to fly?

I have to fly very soon and nerves are already kicking in. Any advice? Can't drink on the plane - as I wont be able to eat a few days beforehand when the real nerves kick in.

Friends suggested fear of flying classes - but not sure about that. If I could I'd put myself under anaesthesia and wake at the gate

I'm afraid to fly too, and I found that reading about airplane safety, turbulence and the like helped.

What happens is that the noises and turbulences on the plane is what really freaks you out, so if you're informed and know what they are, you'll feel better.

Even then, your nerves will still kicking a few days before you're due to fly, but I think that's normal. I can never sleep a couple of days before a flight, but I've come to terms with it.

I hope you can overcome your fear. It is no fun I know. Good luck.
