omg yes! ok my mom and I also had the same problem until we went on this website for getting rid of your fear. after we took it the course on the site, we flew to canada and everything was fine. nd i mean my mom used to scream in planes and she hardly made a sound.

To start: I think it would go under mental illnesses since a phobia is, after all, a mental illness.
There's really not a way to stop yourself from being afraid of something, should it really be a phobia, probably acrophobia with a little aeroacrophobia mixed in. You could try this website:

But if you really want to cut the cost, go out and buy a five dollar bottle of sleeping pills, that way you will be out for the whole plane ride, and you wont mind!
Oh, and if you snore then you should get some snoring medicine too; being courteous to the person sitting next to you will help if you accidentally wake up mid-flight.
To finish: if you don't want hypnotherapy or medication, then just try to sleep, or think of the fact that you're going to Hawaii!! Let's hear if for islands, eh? (Not tsunamis, though.)

cant get rid of phobia, but i can tell you what you can do to help. #1 bring a barf bag #2 if you feel scared stick a bomb in your shoes and blow up the plane #3 fly the plane yourself that way when the plane crashes, youll know it was your fault #4 dont fly #5...........#6 repeat number 5.

i've heard that there's a cd or certain type of music that can help you get through the plane ride. i saw it in the movie "Like Mike" and i've seen it when i travel. if you want me to look it up, just drop one in my inbox saying so and i'll be right on it. don't forget!

A phobia, by definition: "A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous."
In other words, you can't really be RID of it...it's a psychological thing. The best thing you can do is meditate and take your mind off it. According to definition, you cannot convince yourself there is no danger, even when you know there isn't. Just try to focus on something else.

There is nothing to be scared of. You are more safe in a plane, than in a car. The chances of something happening is slim. While you are on the plane, keep yourself occupied so you don`t think about it.

i would pick a seat by the aisle way so you don't have the view of the outside through the window and bring tons of c.d.'s keep yourself occupied at all times like maybe read or something. and make sure you tell the lady that is helping you just so that if you need anything she'll be there.

well i like to listen to music and take a nap, if its an early flight, you'll need sleep so u can have fun at Hawaii!!

You need to tell yourself that nothing is going to happen and that you shouldn't be scared. You really can't get rid of this phobia, you can only face it. When you are on the plane, try thinking about Hawaii and how you are going to spend your time there. Just think about anything else that won't get you scared.
