Duck the downvoters, but seriously, nothing to worry about safety wise, unless you're flying Malaysian air. Just pay attention to posted rules and crew commands, you'll be fine.

My MIL is like 67 and has never flown. She's absolutely terrified of it.

Just think: People make an entire career out of flying.

You'll be fine flying once.

My mom has serious claustrophobia. I do, to an extent, too. But not like her. She doesn't even like to try to retrieve items from under a bed, if it involves putting any of her body under the bed.

They’re only nine dollars at MSY

I used to take this small airline out of Nola called Expressjet for work sometimes. They had a few non stop destinations others didn't. They had in flight $1 beers. No wonder they went bankrupt.

if the wings start to oscillate up and down in light turbulence, you are on an aircraft that is slated for a recall. Try to avoid heavy turbulence or the wings may snap. But only a 43% chance of them snapping.

In the song Ironic by Alanis Morrisette, the example of the guy who waited his whole damn life and was afraid to fly, was the only example that really explains things that are "ironic".
Rain on a wedding day is not, free ride when you've already paid is just dumb, winning the lottery and dying the next day is just bad luck, plus his estate gets the money, not taking good advice is dumb, not ironic,

Watch the flight attendants. If they looked scared, start praying.

Terrorists are known to never say the word "bomb" when trying to take down planes so make sure you lean over and whisper the word "bomb" to every member of the crew before you take off.

All the time.

Worst thing happened to my SO though, she was flying into new Orleans, in the process of decent, the entire plane lost power. it was at night and she said it felt like immediately they were falling. The stewardess were freaking out, the drinks and carts were bouncing and moving around. Then, all of a sudden the power came back on and things leveled out.

I was waiting there and remember thinking everyone looked visibly shaken as they were coming through the gate.

I was on a plane 3 days ago, had to sit next to an Asian guy who spilled his drink all over himself.

Bring a fresh bag of McDonald's with extra onions on the flight. You're likely to get hungry and the in flight food options aren't good. Bring your dog to help your anxiety. Just put a service dog vest on it and you'll be fine. Take off your shoes and socks once you reach cruising altitude to maintain good circulation. Relax by watching hardcore porn on your laptop.
