Fear of Flying

I will be moving back to North Carolina to be with my husband. I will be going on an airplane. I have a fear of having panic attacks or acting bizare while on the flight. I plan to do as much as I can to distract myself like listening to cds or reading. I have three different planes to ride.

Does anyone have any good ideas of how to relax on flights?

If you are having that much anxiety over the flight, call your MD & ask for xanax for the flight.

I'm going back to Camp Lejeune in Jacksonvile, NC. My husband is in the Marine Corps.
