Like, don’t get me wrong - heights are one of my worst fears altogether. (I love not getting the window seat.)
When I flew to Christchurch earlier this year Jetstar put me in a window seat unprompted. The views were just slightly spectacular, though it may help that I don't worry too much about heights and usually like window seat.
Ugh I hate flying. It's one of my worst fears. I just can't trust human engineering that much lol
Though I'm skeptical of the way "passenger-miles" is used as a safety metric, I'd still suggest that flying is a lot safer than driving a car (which a large percentage of the population does routinely). And of course the pilots and crew on a plane are much better trained than the average driver on the roads, and the planes probably get better maintenance too...
