How to deal with aerophobia?

The last time I flew alone, I experienced a severe panic attack. It's frustrating because I have a strong desire to travel. However, my fear of flying is holding me back. To make matters worse, I suffer from claustrophobia and acrophobia. I also feel terrible when I'm not in control. Even the thought of flying sends me into a panic! This October, I plan to visit my father's side of the family. It's been over two decades since I last saw them and this this trip involves a 5-6 hour flight. How can I overcome this anxiety? I can't sleep normally bc of the though of the upcaming flight.
