Sam, as a 26 year old single female, I feel that I should be taking advantage of my freedom traveling. I encountered a problem 2 years ago that has put a "hold" on my travel plans. My history with flying includes: first time ever being on an airplane (trip to London), Germany (flew by myself), NOLA, Vegas twice. Two years ago I traveled to Vegas, was having a blast until days leading up to the flight home. It was windy and I was nervous. The dreaded day arrived and my nerves were going crazy. I took 2 Xanax pills and got on the plane. I had a panic attack on the plane, I couldn't help but think, "What if the engine stops, what will happen to us?" It was awful, I didn't know where all of this fear was coming from all of a sudden. I mean, I had crossed the "big pond" 4 times and didn't have this problem. My question is this: How do you cope with flying? What keeps you at ease during those long flights? Do you ever have moments when you are scared? What can I do to help myself? I love to travel and hate to think that I might never get on a plane again.
