I love flying. I think I've flown near 20 times all in all. When I was younger we always took the boat or Eurostar but now we always take the plane. Except at Easter with the ash cloud, where we came back by tge 'Star... 
If you're not flying above the sea then it should be okay? And even if not. Gosh I don't want to worry you if you are actually going over the sea! I love the weird acclimatising feeling as it goes up. I even like air turbulence. When you're in mid flight you can't feel anything, you might as well just be on the ground.
Might as well fly as much as you can before we can't anymore!!

I can't offer much advice since I haven't flown since I was 6 years old! 
Back then it wasn't an issue, but now I have more of an understanding of life.. or rather what can go wrong with it, I think I may be a little more up-tight when it comes to it. That being said, I really want to move to California one day, so if I was on the plane there from England, the thought of not having to come back will probably ease my fears. So my tip - focus on the fact that you'll be seeing you're best friend and try not to let things get to you - as for finding your way around airports, don't be afraid to ask a member of staff where to go if need be, it's their job. Good luck.

That's a lovely picture!
And don't worry about changing planes, there's not that much to it. It's all signposted and people will help you.

It's happening in March right, that's a long time from now. You will have plenty of time to be nervous Sarah
. It will help to have things you enjoy to distract you (and support of whoever you are going with). Is your mom lways very protective? I think she will know you can handle things and will get through... -sean-

In August my wife and I flew from here in Las Vegas to New Jersey to visit my family. We had to do a layover and switch planes both ways, first in St Louis on the way there and then in Denver on the way back. It's pretty easy, you are already in the area where the gates are and don't have to go through security again. Also, if you check your bags in, they automatically transfer them to your next plane. All you have to do is find out what gate your next flight is heading out of, and you're good to go. I have flown by myself before too and it's not too bad. I actually have enjoyed all the flights I've taken for the most part. The take-offs and the landings are what I actually enjoy the most.
Awww that's not good Sarah. Even if you get to see your friend by him visiting you, then you still lose what you antiicpated. The experience and fun that went with it. If you still want to go you should probably convey that to your mom and let her know that it is somehting that will help you grow as a person and that you can do it. Something tells me that just having your friend visit is not exactly as enticing to you when compared with what you were planning on doing before...
