I was pretty terrible with it when I was little, but I fly so much that I'd gotten over it by the time I was 8. The best way to get over it is just by doing it. If you're gonna fly again, get to the airport early, and use general stress-relief techniques while you're there (deep breathing, etc.). On the plane, chew gum whenever you feel pressure in your inner ear, as this will help relieve it. If you feel sick, GRAB THE BARF BAG FIRST, then look out the window. Motion sickness is usually caused by feeling yourself moving without any visual reference, so looking at the clouds rushing past will help. Oh, big tip: GO TO THE BATHROOM AS CLOSE TO BOARDING TIME AS POSSIBLE! Airplane bathrooms are hideously claustrophobic and often smelly, and don't get me started on what happens if you hit turbulence while you're in there...
I didn't choose the TUG life, the TUG life chose me.

I started flying when I was 2, and I haven't stopped since. The only genuinely horrible thing that's happened to me was when I was about 5, and the plane hit rough air while I was walking in the aisle. I fell on my face. Hard. That kept me scared of flying for a few more years...

Its a bad experince im not surprised you had a fear after that but they actually estimate that more people are killed by wild donkeys per anum than in plane crashes lol

More people are killed driving than flying! It is quite possibly the safest form of transportation there is.

Thousands of Planes take off every day without an incident so rest assured you have a great chance of a safe plane ride. But if you want to overcome this fear, think about it being landing safely and you will be fine.
You will have to subdue me to restrain me. I been a bad boy so make sure you torture me too with anything but pain.
