Default Nervous flyer considering learning to glide

I'm a nervous flyer who spends a lot of time as a commercial aircraft

plane drops, like you'd get on a rollercoster (I don't like those
either).


One thing not mentioned by other respondents:
Make sure your seat-belts are TIGHT.
Then wriggle around a bit and tighten again.
Tight belts will make any reduced-G sensation MUCH less uncomfortable.

Have Fun!
