If you can afford it, fly first class. I don't have a fear of flying at all, but I get anxious from the crap that accompanies it: the rush through security to the gate, the cramped aisles during boarding, being thirsty and having to wait a long time for a drink or to use the bathroom. Buying a first class ticket takes care of almost all of this. I usually have to spend a couple of hundred extra on my own dime on top of the coach price that my employer pays for but it's worth it. I get to my destination relaxed, having spent the four hours stretched out, working on my laptop and sipping on a glass of scotch.
