1. Do you have misgivings about getting into steel cans with wings and hurtling miles above the earth?
1a. WHY NOT?
Honestly, I don't fear them because I've flown so frequently, it's no longer unknown. I fly a few times every year, and being afraid just doesn't make sense.

2. If you do, how do you distract yourself during the particularly horrible time called "takeoff?"
2a. Is takeoff not your least favorite time?

No, takeoff is not my least favorite time.
2b. What is?
I actually dislike landing. That sensation of falling, lurching closer towards the ground, trusting that the guys they hired to pilot this thing know how to land without smashing us into the earth....
3. Provide hugs and reassurance that this voyage, like every single one I've taken before, will not end in horrible disaster.
It is so unlikely that your flight will crash that you shouldn't even stress the teeniest tiniest bit. The plane you will be flying on has been checked repeatedly to make sure it is safe, the people they hired to fly it have been exhaustively trained, and you are entirely safe in their care.
4. Seriously how do you not want to cry when you go into a plane IT IS TERRIFYING
Because I know it will be over soon... Flying to Africa was the worst though... my flight was 16 hours long... sleeping was impossible, eating didn't help, man was not meant to be confined at high altitude for that long.
