I hate flying, even though I have to do it alot. My brother works for Delta so we get really cheap tickets. I always take a book and my mp3 player. If you like crossword puzzles or sudoku, bring that. It will give you something to take your mind off of everything. Also, chew gum on take off and landing to help pop your ears. Just relax and it will be over before you know it! Have a good trip!!
