    It sounds like a lot of people get meds from the doctor before flying, but it isn't something I would do. You never know how you are going to feel with the meds. Just remember that in however many hours it takes to get there, you will arrive at your destination and enjoy yourselves! The flight does end. :) (I guess if you do get some meds, you could try some at home to make sure they agree with you first)

    I love to fly! Everything from take off to landing, etc. My mom didn't like it as much, but what made her get on the plane each and every time was thinking that a 3 hr trip in the air was MUCHHHHH better than driving 3 long days in the car. Also all of her relatives were on the other side waiting for her. Think of all of the fun things you will do when you get there. Turn your nerves into excitement for your trip!!!! You have to think positive, remember "this to shall pass", and you will do it.

    Congratulations and have a great trip!!!!!!!! :)

    Xanax is my best friend when flying.

    I used to have stark terror while flying. So terrified I felt like throwing up while waiting to board and nearly passing out on takeoff. I had to make several flights in 2010. I took Xanax for the first couple and when I flew those couple of times relaxed and not scared out of my mind, I cut back the dosage for the next flight and did the last one cold turkey. I'm a much better flyer now. Definitely try the Xanax!
