Good Luck, you can do it....I just try & get myself excited the other way - meaning, "thinking about the beautiful island, shopping, beachin', restaurants, etc..and can't wait to get there" - rather than worrying about the flight...that would always put a damper on it, because I wouldn't sleep good the night before, and have a horrible 1st day on the Island....So, I said to myself - this ain't worth it...It's just the take offs & landings which bothered me - more so the landings....but, once Im up in the air, I'm fine! Go Figure !!!...lol September can't come soon enough for me, right now...& I'ts only June!!! First I can't wait for Summer, - then - I can't wait for September !!! LOL...Just go w/the flow & do the mental game with your mind ~ & ~ everything will be just fine.

No matter how tough us New Yorkers are, there are still things that un-nerve me/us and being up in the air is one of them.
My first time in an airplane was after I met my second husband - in my mid 30's. Before that I never flew. He said to me, "if you wanna be with me, you gotta fly."
Now he says he can't get me to stop. It's a love/hate thing. Love to vacation/tan/relax - - hate getting there!
Well thanks for your words of encouragement. I need to keep repeating this all to myself when I fly.
