1. Do you have misgivings about getting into steel cans with wings and hurtling miles above the earth?

I do. But like with everything that you repeat regularly, the fear starts to fade away once you realize you survive again and again...

1a. WHY NOT?

I said I do!

2. If you do, how do you distract yourself during the particularly horrible time called "takeoff?"

I try to read or close my eyes.
2a. Is takeoff not your least favorite time?

It is.
2b. What is?

Landing isn't very nice either, at least not in bad weather. Then again, I always think: oh well, we're already pretty close to the ground, it can't be that bad to fall anymore now.

3. Provide hugs and reassurance that this voyage, like every single one I've taken before, will not end in horrible disaster.

It won't ;)

4. Seriously how do you not want to cry when you go into a plane IT IS TERRIFYING

By making it a habit and thinking of the much higher chances of dying in a car accident.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

The silly thing is that I fly at least twice a year, and more if you count individual flights. Ghavrel - 22/12/2009 07:05:38 AM 537 Views

Recognize that the fear is not a logical one. If tha doesn't help, it's unlikely that anything will. Aemon - 22/12/2009 09:39:32 AM 661 Views
Note the use of the word "phobia." Planes are like spiders! Ghavrel - 22/12/2009 02:25:52 PM 546 Views

It has to do with the lack of control. (WARNING: I'm not assuring you of anything) Tom - 23/12/2009 04:20:22 AM 528 Views
