I always thought I had a fear of flying. (I have lost several family members in plane crashes.)

Yet, when I flew for the first time, I had a great time! I love being up in the air and looking down upon fields, cities, etc. I have enjoyed every flight since.

I do not mean to minimize your fear. At the same time, you might try it and find it's tolerable, even relaxing.

Hugs to you.
