I think this has a lot to do with it. You've never been on a plane before and lets face it, most movies and tv that have plots revolving around a plane don't usually make the plane land safely.
I think a lot of your fear will be fine once the seatbelt sign is turned off. I'm a nervous flyer and I like to have a drink before the flight takes off. I like aisle seats (windows are wasted on nervous people) as well. The takeoff is the scariest part in my opinion. Once you've made the descent and you've leveled off chances are the plane will stay steady the rest of the way until landing.
I've flown many times and I still death grip my armrests when taking off, close my eyes, and listen to music. Don't be afraid to do what you need to to ease your fear once you're on the flight (within reason of course). Keep us updated on how your flight goes!
