I hate flying too, and I found the last time I did it that my musical tastes were radically altered. I only wanted to be soothed, and even Autechre was too edgy. Mind, it didn't have to be straight ambient, dreamy pop stuff works fine too. But nothing with a schizoid beat or violent washes of noise. In other words, the stuff I often usually want to hear. Eno was usually perfect in all forms, and Elliott Smith worked good too. Some Sonic Youth was fine, but I would never try Confusion is Sex in a plane.
I know way more people get killed in car accidents than in airplanes, but I hate the feeling of loss of control that goes with being in a plane. If I die in a car, at least it's me that stepped on the gas.
