Thanks! Flying from New Orleans, Louisiana to Los Angeles, California. Unfortunately the time we are going, guess what? I have to change planes! Amtrak is way too long to take and very expensive and driving is out of the question.I only have a week vacation to spend out there and want to soak up as much of Cali as I can! Kids are 14 and 17 so I think me taking a glass of liquid courage would be alright lol

Hello everyone, I am on here trying to silence my fears of flying. I am 39 years old and only flew ONCE to New York back in 2012. That was the LONGEST 3 hours of my life! Now I want to take my 2 boys to California in July but AGAIN the fear of flying is so crippling its stopping me from buying the tickets. I have the stupidest fears that 1. I cannot change planes because once I get comfortable with that first plane then that's it, asking me to change planes is like asking me to cut off my left arm or die. 2. If I bring my kids on a plane and it goes down then I am robbing them of having any kind of future. 3. I get on a plane with a pilot who is having a bad day or depressed or just goes crazy 4. Another planes crosses in front of us or is heading right into us and NOONE sees it in time, 5. Will not fly over water, so any international traveling is out of the picture for me unless I am drugged or drunk, 6. If I move out the plane seat to go to the restroom, the plane will tip or unbalance Pathetic huh? I need help! Anyone can help calm this overbearing fear I have? Talk some good old fashion sense into me? Tell me I am completely nuts and have seen Final Destination one too many times? I sure would appreciate it 😄
