I'm terrified of flying. Wanting to get to places hasn't cured me of it either.
My first plane trip was from Dallas to San Francisco flying Greyhound in the skies - Southwest Airlines.
Everyone assured me that the worst part was taking off and landing.
I replied "great, I'm going to do it 16 times". Southwest didn't use to fly direct anywhere.
The trip was:
Dallas - Albuquerque - Phoenix - Century City - Oakland
Then
Oakland - Century City - Las Vegas - San Antonio - Dallas.
I was on Xanax. I was told to take 1 for every 4 hours of flight. I took 6 that day. I was wide awake and terrified the entire flight, but once we landed, I was nearly comatose.
In the years since, flying to Canada and Europe and other places I hardly remember the flights themselves because I was doped to the gills.
Don't like flying. Like that famous writer said of being on a ship (In prison with a chance of drowning), flying is like being in prison with a chance of being ripped to pieces/burned to death or falling 5 miles. :( :( :(

When I said, "You guys crack me up" I never meant to minimize anyone's fear of flying.
I realize people have all sorts of fears. For me, I am not too fond of heights, but I have actually figured out some parameters of the fear and I have managed to figure out how I can cope. Dellaluvia gave her example of how she copes with flying. For others, it might mean not getting on a plane at all.
If my humor came across as crass or uncaring, I apologize. That was not my intent.
Hugs, all...

I'm with you! I am scared to death to fly. I have booked trips only to cancel at the last moment cause the anxiety I was feeling just wasn't worth it. I'm scared to death of flipping out 3000 ft up in the sky and making a fool out of my self. And I don't want to be all doped up either cause of a hijacking. I feel if I mustered up the courage to get to my destination that I wouldn't enjoy myself at all because all I would think about is the flight home. I flew when I was a child but I guess that was before I knew anything about death. :( :(
I seem to get around pretty good by driving, And I know thats alot more dangerous. But at least I can touch the ground when I want to!
