EEEeeek! I am nervous!

I am flying to california tomorrow and i am deadly scared that the plane will be hijacked/crash. Any words of comfort would be nice. I haven't been able to sleep in a few days because I keep thinking about it. I don't think this fear is something xanax can cure. Anybody else afraid to fly?

Sending you calm vibes~~~~~~~~
I haven't flown etc but you can do this!

HI there,
You will be ok. That is first and foremost. Flying is very scary, I agree. However, the likelyhood of something happening is slim to none. You'd be at more risk driving in a car. Have whomever you are traveling with hold your hand (tightly!) during takeoff and landing. That always helps me. Bring relaxing music, too. Also, see if you could take a valium instead of a xanax. It will relax you more. Try, only if you can, to focus on the vacation and how much fun you will have, instead of how you will get there. I hope these words help a little. I know how very hard and scary it can be. Best of luck and have fun in California.
Katie, you're back! lol! Are you a lurker now? I remember when you went away last time, I think it was to your aunt & uncles maybe - you were so worried, but you did great! I think you will do just as good this time on the airplane. Just sit back and relax, listen to music or watch the movie. Have fun!

Katie,
I know that it is scary to fly.
I used to work for United Airlines and did a lot or traveling. What always comforted me was the fact that the pilots and flight attendnts are so well trained and the pilot has a HUGE checklist to go through before takeoff. That includes a "walk around" the plane.
The ground crew also does numerous checks around the plane also.
Just remember that the pilot and crew want just as much as you do to land safely so keep all that in mind. Its their lives also. I have had the pleasure of meeting Capt. Al Hayes. He was the pilot of the UAL
Thanks guys for all of your responses--tell ya what, if i dont respond by midnight tomorrow night--my plane crashed. lol. thanks guys!
love,
katie
