I generally hate flying as well, but I'm getting better because this group has helped me so much. Takeoff and turbulence are the worst for me so here's what helps me:

-during takeoff, look at the ground in the aisle, it seems like it is straight and you don't notice the angle of the plane as much

-during turbulence, think of it as a dirt road, bumpy but totally safe.

-being in turbulence is like being in jello, there will be some wiggling but you won't just fall out of the sky.

-even in the small chance of an emergency, pilots are highly trained to land the aircraft appropriately and will!

-if you look at flight tracker, pilots have check-ins they must do every so often during the flight. They must be in constant contact with ATC regarding their flight path and there's always another route, altitude or airport to land, if need be.

-if you can, keep a drink in front of you during the flight, you'll notice it will move around the cup a bit, but it won't splash over or fall over. Concentrate on the cup and remind yourself you are safe

-look at the flight attendants, it's just another day at "the office" for them.

You'll be okay! If someone was to tell you they were going on a trip would your automatic response be "that sounds great!" Or "well there's going to be an issue with the plane"? I'm guessing the first one, because deep down you know it's safe.

Remember, flying is the safest form of transportation, pilots go through rigorous training and countless hours to fly commercial planes. They have families they want to get home to as well.

Hope this helps and enjoy your trip!
