Just know if you do not want to go, you do not have to get on that plane. I only say this because my closest friend in the whole wide world was terrified of flying, but she wanted to go to the States to meet friends. I took her to the airport, we waited for the flight to be called, and then she freaked - until I said to her "If you don't want to get on that plane, you don't have to". She didn't go - just said "I can't do it" and we walked out of the airport. She got her money back, BTW. After that, she still wanted to go to the States, so what she ended up doing was taking the Fear of Flying course, which helped her greatly, and then she took small flights from where she lives, in Hamilton, to Auckland, to Wellington, to Palmerston Nth etc. And the result? She's since flown all over the place and is absolutely fine. She never packs until the last minute, and she never talks about her trips with anyone, not even me. She just goes. Hope this is of some help, Sandy.
