I have my first flight tomorrow?

and I'm getting kind of nervous. I've never really flown in a plane before. How can I keep myself from getting too nervous? My plane takes off at like 11:30 tomorrow. :P

Update:

It's from Minneapolis, MN. to Boise, ID. In a CRJ-900 (I think, i'll have to check with my dad again) I have an iPhone but I just got it so I don't have any music on it except pandora, and I can't use pandora on a plane.

Update 2:

Thank you دامون سميث, I'll make sure to keep that in mind.

    CRJ-900's are great planes with a great safety record. I love them. They are cramped in a way. Two seats to a row. Depending on the duration of your flight they may/may not serve drinks. They only thing about the CRJ's is the landing gear. When they are being lowered/raised it has a strange sound and kind of shakes the plane. There is nothing to worry about. Air is the safest way to travel. About Pandora, most likely no. You have to turn off your phone and keep it off unless its on airplane mode. Pandora requires internet and airplane mode disables your internet. Unless they have in-flight wifi, no pandora. :(

    Wow are you serious? Wats there to be nervous about? All you do is go In and sit, and it's actually fun when the plane moves etc. Plane crashes are extranet rare there have been over a billion flights world wide and only a few noticeable crashes happen or problems. Tehnology is advanced now and there is no room for error. Just relax it's quite fun.

    You stated this was your first time flying and you were nervous. Take something along to read or something else you enjoy. Take deep breathes if you become nervous and think of something you enjoy doing. Look at it from this perspective...you get there so much quicker than driving. Have a wonderful trip!!

    Buy some motion sickness pills and airborne ear plugs. Fall asleep. Let the attendant wake you up.
