Yeah i have flown plenty. Just still hate it. Longest was 7 hours. But i have just been diagnosed with bad anxiety. Dont take tablets for it as i want to control it myself. Started getting panic attacks so im more afraid of getting a panic attack on a plane which would be the worst case scenario.
I didn't fly for nearly 20 years because of my terror! Like you, I got valium for my first flight after all that time. You will be fine with the valium.
Have you taken them before? If not then take it slowly, as in take half when you start to feel really anxious. Give it half an hour to see how it takes the edge off. If you find you are still very anxious then take the other half.... and so on.
Good luck!0 -

thats cheap if its with singapore airlines , im going to new zealand in either november or january for three weeks , eithad are by far the cheapest at around 1100 , singapore is hundreds more
I got the panic attacks from smoking weed, since then i have giving it up and only get them once a month or so. I know the signs when the come on now, starts with a big rush of blood through my body and my senses heighten. So when that happens i breath slowly, relax and talk to someone constantly to take my mind off it and i find that works perfectly. I havent had a full blown one in ages. I dont like the idea of taking tablets to get rid of something my mind is causing. Only for recreational use. Just taking valium for the flight because if i got one on the flight id freak out.
Any who back on topic, yeah the flights where cheap enough, flying with quantas.0 -

for whatever reason , i got them at night in bed , would wake up at around three and would often have to manage my breathing for a full hour so as to prevent an attack , as i said earlier , this was during a time when i was in serious pain due to an accident , the stress was pretty brutal , it was no joke at the time and i couldnt seem to control it , looking back , i dont see it as a big deal , im not nervous by disposition
oh your flyin with qantas , i just assumed it was singapore , i can only go by internet sites but qantas are regarded as the ryanair of the long haul , cheap but little in the way of customer service or comfort , hope your not too long in the leg , the seat pitch is very short compared to other airlines according to skytrax website , thats a real issue for me as im tipping 6 ft 3 , another example of the curse of being too tall0 -
