Fear of Flying

[cruiseletters]

i used to be nervous, i think the more you fly the easier it gets.the very first thing you do and i recommend starting this now is to tell your brothers how much you are looking forward to flying tell them you are no longer scared and that you have been thinking about how much fun it will be to fly. that should help quiet them down, when they no longer see they can freak you out about flying. when i was a kid i liked to think of it as a theme park ride then i began to enjoy it.

We flew from California to Florida in October. While flying still makes me nervous, I'm much better about it now. I like to pack things in my carry-on that I can do during the flight. You might want to pack some new issues of your favorite magazines, a new book or two, and/or a hand held game (just in case the movie is boring). We also bring some favorite snacks or pick up lunch at one of the airport stands.

Have a great trip! And, hey, don't listen to those brothers. I'm willing to bet they are just as nervous as you - except they won't admit it!

Be strong my Staten Island sister !!!!!!!

Flying is awesome...bring a few magazines, your IPOD, and enjoy the ride....you'll find the flight to be uneventful, albeit relaxing....5 hrs or so from Kennedy will get you to Cali.....No problem!!!! Also,maybe take a regular Dramamine 30 minutes prior to flight....it will make you loopy, so take a nap...
