>>18795711) Don't cheap out but fly large airlines from western countries. You want the plane to be in good shape. Don't fly fucking Adios Airlines or something
2) Get a seat next to the doors at the rearmost part of the plane. Statistically your chances of surviving are much higher at the ass-end of the plane
3) Swallow a mild sedative after you've been through safety check
4) Be aware that planes do make mechanical noises, especially on take-off and approach. That's flaps, landing gear and other shit. Don't get scared by them
5) Be aware that commercial planes got an unholy level of toughness. Seriously.
6) Be aware that planes go through a tough maintenance regime every few flight hours
7) When they serve alcohol, get some
8) When in doubt look at the flight attendants. As long as they are doing their jobs or don't look nervous everything's a-okay
Take-off and landing are the worst parts for most people, including yours truly. Just man the fuck up and be aware that you wont die, like seriously. When you're going to fly long distances you will have lots of entertainment. Use it to distract yourself.
