RESOURCESTHE BASICS OF FLIGHT: Try Boeing's free online tutorial on the basics of flight. Just the right level of information for any nervous flyer.
PREPARING YOUR CARRY-ON: Check the latest list of approved items for you Carry-On bag at the US Transportation Security Agency (TSA) site (US only).
ASK THE PILOT: Pilot Patrick Smith writes a column and has a book that talks about flight from the pilot's perspective. I think it's good stuff, although I would not recommend it for those on the "very nervous" to "outright petrified" side of the scale -- sometimes a little too much info about plane crashes and so forth! You might want to wait until you've achieved "only slightly nervous" status!
