To me it's more of a "claustrophobia" and "lack of any control over the situation" issue.
Usually when I'm on a plane I remember the scene from Fight Club.

Tyler Durden explaining about the "illusion of safety" and an open air exit at 30,000 feet...always seem to flash back to that scene of the movie
