Anybody have any tips for a nervous flyer going on their first overseas flight besides medication (have some) or booze (planning to get sauced during layover) or melatonin? I don't want to take up at the destination in the morning (their time) and need to be ready to go with no sleep. The longest I've ever been able to sleep on an airplane is about 30 seconds.

I fly somewhat often but the thought of getting into a metal tube with engines attached to it and flying over open ocean is still kind of unnerving.

Take Several Tylenol p.m. and you’ll be asleep before you take off

Watch Airplane! before you leave, that should offer some comfort. Or a few episodes of Air Disasters.

Honestly just try to relax and remember there’s hundreds and probably thousands of highly trained individuals that have helped contribute to the safety of your flight. Or like you said drugs and booze.

Xanax.

Call your dr and tell him/her what’s going on. They will help you out

Chase a Xanax with a couple of beers and you are golden. 😎

Unfortunately logic typically doesn't help. Drugs and booze do. I'd love to get to a point where I can logically just not be afraid anymore but it is an emotional response, not logical, so I don't know if it'll ever happen. I fly 15-20 times per year for work, never had a truly awful experience on a flight (well I kind of did once but I was drunk so it really didn't worry me at all), but still have the fear. I can go to FlightAware, zoom out to the world map, and know that every single one of those planes is going to take off and land safely. If I have a friend or family member travel, I don't worry about anything happening to them. But when I get on one, yeah, I get nervous. It's totally irrational.

I do have meds prescribed by a doctor (not Xanax, don't want that stuff) but feel like a loony person for taking it. It's a small dose and gets the nervousness down to a manageable level, more to like an anxiousness before take off and landing. During flight, even with some turbulence, I'm good. If I didn't take the meds, I'd have good days and bad days. I'd get really nervous, but just suck it up and board the plane on good days, and on bad days it would usually involve puking in the bathroom before getting on the plane, incredibly sweaty hands, and even once before an early morning flight I woke up puking and with so much gastrointestinal discomfort I didn't even get on the plane. It was so embarrassing.

A couple of Xanax isn't gonna hurt you. I would take half a 1mg with a double of the lil' airline bottles and have a peaceful 13 hr. trip to Tokyo.

Most likely people who don't fly often. Early and late in the week most people flying are business travelers who travel a lot, but mid-week and on the weekends you see a lot of people in airports who don't quite know what is going on.

Also, it is a scientific fact that 80% of people jamming the gate before boarding starts are in Zone 2 or 3, and won't be allowed to board before the First Class, Zone 1, and all those other people they think they might be able to board ahead of.
