Focus on what awaits you there and look forward to that before you take a xanax and if it is a long flight, an ambien. I used to be afraid of flying, even though my dad was a flight attendant for years until he retired, but then I read that the the probability of a crash due to turbulence is extremely rare, as most of the accidents occurred usually at take off or landing, primarily in inclement weather.
Now it is just another form of transportation to me like an automobile or bus or rail. Just a way to get where I'm going.
Also, there are self hypnosis/self help audio cd's that you may find reassuring.
