Flight Anxeity........Ideas to curb it

Flight Anxeity........Ideas to curb it?

Ok, I'm leaving to New Orleans this Thursday..... The last time I left Alaska was in May. I went to California for a week to visit a friend. I scheduled my trip almost 8 months in advance to prepare myself that I was leaving. Needless to say I balled the whole way there and back... Before my California trip I haven't left the state in over 11 years..... So, My grandfather offered to buy me a ticket to LA to visit family for 10 days... I have like 2 weeks notice and thursday is just around the corner... I freaking out here... I have a 2 1/2 year old who will be staying in AK with his father and the fact that I will be away from him and flying is about to drive me over the edge. Can anyone please give me suggestions to overcome this fear...and anxiety!? I'm going crazy and seriously can't sleep at night... Thank you in advance! Melanie

I don't have flight anxiety; I just don't fly!( ain't no wings on my back!

Flying is statistically safer than driving- much safer! There may be turbulence, but a plane has never crashed because of turbulence- ever, not in the history of aviation. Turbulence is just like bumps on the road when you're driving, annoying but not dangerous at all. Don't worry about it, you'll be fine!
