I'm unsure as to what to expect.
I am afraid of heights, but it's more of "omfg what if this ladder falls? I'll die"

It's completely different to being up a ladder.
The reality is, that flights are quite relaxing and whilst a bit of air turbulence can be uncomfortable (especially if you are trying to have a snooze) it is perfectly normal and part of the flight.

I'll remember that as I'm zooming toward the Atlantic.

Absolutely nothing to worry about.

Work out what things you're concerned about.
List them, and either gaz 'em or post them on here and I'm sure people will advise you accordingly.

I have absolutely no clue about flying, airports, bags, fees
I have a feeling I'll be the person that gets there 5 hours early and ends up crying in the toilets because she's so confused

I don't know what check-in is like over your side of the pond.
But the general rule of thumb here is that check-in opens about 2 hours before departure and closes about half an hour before departure. You'll have more chance of getting the seat you want the earlier you get there (unless you are able to check-in online and pre-book your chosen seat).
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 18:29, Reply)

I think you can choose your seat when you book your flight, depending on when you book it.
At least that was the impression I was given when looking at flights.

It's just the same your side of the pond as it is over here.
Don't worry about it. Ask people's help and it's quite easy to do.

It doesn't feel like being high up, does it?
It feels like being in a room.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 18:25, Reply)

yeah
a room full of annoying bastards generally. where there isn't enough leg room for tall people.

aside from that it's fine, and even looking out the window at the ground really far below is more interesting than worrying.

Think of it as a coach trip.
But with a free bar.
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 18:30, Reply)

haha!
Even though I'm claustrophobic, once I can take my seat belt off I quite enjoy flying.
( girlinthehole, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 18:48, Reply)

I just get bored as usually I book flights with 'no frills' airlines.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 18:50, Reply)

I take magazines, books, ipod etc
I like to people watch too.
