Deep breathing while boarding the plane, during take off and during the flight or the landing are going to help your body immensely in relaxing. Deep breathing puts more oxygen in your body, which is very relaxing and soothing for the muscles at the same time.
Positive thinking is another way that you can relax your body. Think about anything but what worries you. Look around the plane and think about the people on the plane, the people that you have met on your travels so far and where you are going.
Focus on the good things in your day, your life, and what is going in your life at the moment. Positive thinking is a very powerful thing to help you over come fears. Many people have been in worse situations and remained positive, coming out in the end with great stories, and having fun at the same time.

 another perspective

My fear of flying has more to do with not being in control as opposed to being frightened of an air accident. This is the case with many people I know. Whilst driving I'm in control,yes I know I'm not in control of the actions of other drivers but I do have control over my reaction to their actions.
In contrast when flying I have absolutely no control and must surrender myself totally to the skill & actions of another person. For a person who is used to being in control this is a very scarry proposition! |

claustrophobia

My fear of flying stems from my claustrophobia. I feel cramped and trapped and I can't open the window! And I can't stop the plane in order to get out... I find that talking helps. If I am not with someone I know, I bore the pants off whoever has the misfortune to sit next to me. It takes my mind off my fears a lot.
If you are like this, I would recommend staying in your seat at all costs. As soon as you stand up, it feels worse because there is very little head room and you get that shut-in feeling. |
