I'd recommend taking a discovery flight at your local flight school. They're fairly affordable (they're a loss-leader to get boots through the door), and they're a lot of fun. Most of all though, they familiarize you with the sensation of flight and the myriad safety features of modern aviation. May not be able to book a discovery flight before your short commercial flight, but it's something to think about for the long term.

I thought about that idea a few times, maybe I'll look for it! Because my fear has something to do with the unusual sensations on my body that I'm not used to (full speed, shaking, noise, and taking off) that triggers the adrenaline, I guess. And probably a few accidents in the past that watching images and seeing photos were a bit traumatic as a kid. I know people that avoid flying at all costs. At least I go but with the feeling that I'm really going to die lol. It's crazy.
