For me, the hardest bit about flying is the bit just as you leave the ground.

The sound/feeling of the Turbines winding up, before fecking of down the Runway at big speed is great. Then as the wheels lift, the plane appears to go weightless for a second, which turns your guts. Then its a bit tense while you climb.

I find that whilst the things on the ground are still close enough to look like what they are (i.e. Houses/Cars etc), its a bit scary and a fear of heights plays a part there, however, once you are above the clouds, the stuff on the ground is fascinating and I love to have a Window seat.

As said above, on a plane is quite a safe place to be, so just sit back and relax, you will actually enjoy it!!

It helps when the reason you are getting on a plane is to go on Holiday. Every time we go away, I am nervous, but when I think of the amazing Holiday that awaits, it makes it that bit easier.
