i am soooo excited about the staff workshop in edinburgh, but i am seriously dreading the journey up there
i have been shite scared of flying for as long as i can remember
the idea of going reaaaally fast at that height...it really really really scares me
any suggestions on how i can make this flight easier to bare???
also is there anyone else scared of flying, or have any amusing stories...

listen to music and try to relax
even the bumpiest of flights just feel like driving on a rough road -try to close your eyes an imagine yourself some where else
personally i love flying tho so im not sure how good this will be but it works for me with other things (like work - i just imagine im not there :P)

awww m8 also try to focus on what youll do when you arrive (not arriving WHEN you arrive - ie the workshop) if all else fails try to sleep
flying is such a nice expierence
feels so cool (especially in small aircraft) back

Tell the flight attendants that it's your first flight....they look after you well. And admire their regular routines about flight safety... I like watching them
I was really scared on take off but once you're up there it's nice. I was more frightened at the landings but now I've come to love landings more than take offs!
Just take deep breaths, your ears will pop no matter what but don't stress. You'll be fine, aeroplanes are fun machines
.All things are beautiful if we take the time to look.
no excuses. no apologies.

getting really high would probably be detremental. so dont do that.
positive visualisation and affirmations work a treat.
good luck.

one thing NOT to do: the ex-boyfriend was scared of flying, so he took some herbal anxiety-relieving medicine his sister got somewhere. In the end he was so relaxed he thought it might be fun to try opening the emergency exits, and had to fight with himself for the rest of the flight to NOT do it
Don't worry
I'd pick you up at the airport if I could, but my parents arrive earlier the same day from Germany and my mum's going to be very scared, too, so I'll have to look after them "vices are like genitals - most are ugly to behold, and yet we find that our own are dear to us."
