My first ever flight was with my father in 1949 abaord a Colonial Airline (since closed) from upstate NY to La Guardia airport. Besides being nervous, hot and very bouncey, the toilet overflowed down the passenger isle and the crew try dousing the smell with a chemical fire extinguisher. Yes, I used the little v* bag provided.

It would be years before I'd get caught in a plane but have flown hundreds of times since and even took flying lessons in a Piper Cub and flew a powered parachute ultra-lite without any problems.

Same with the Navy when my first seagoing experience was aboard a little destroyer off Cape Hatteras in a bad storm and I got a very bad case of mal de mer- but that was it. Got my sea legs and never a problem since.

Definitely take prescribed medications for the first time and you'll see our fears soon disappear. Unlike my first flight, planes today fly above bad weather and clouds so you should not have a problem.
