There are thousands of flights daily it's routine, nothing special, as
millions of people fly daily.
Planes are designed specifically for air travel, that's where they
belong, in the air.
A bit of turbulence is routine, it's kinda like a bump or pothole in
the road. The plane is designed to treat turbulence as a piece of
cake.
The pilot is highly trained as is the crew, heck, they do this flying
stuff everyday, it's simple routine.
The air the plane is flying through is actually quite dense, it's not
the thin air you suppose it to be. The plane is being supported by
huge solid columns of dense air.
The plane can fly safely and land safely too even with some of the
functions not working properly.
The above (in addition to your own personal statements) will help you
to get over fear of flying, so next time you fly, you can leave your
fear at home, but don't forget to take your written list on board with
you will you, we don't want any in-flight panic attacks (smiley).
