I help people with a fear of flying and the subject is too complicated to be fully covered on this forum, however, the basic beliefs you have to work on adopting are:
  1. There's nothing wrong in having a fear of flying ... get rid of any "fear of the fear of flying"
  2. Sometimes, very rarely, things do go pear shaped on an aircraft ... just as sometimes, not so rarely, things go pear shaped on the highway. That's reality ... accept it.
  3. You might get anxious on a flight ... but, also understand that you will deal with it and ... you won't die from it.

If you can do this, you're half way there.
