If you have windows 8, get the sky scanner app. It's very good for finding cheap flights if you are flexible on dates, just due to it's graphical interface and seeing flight costs for the whole year.

Jet2 were going on about a flight for £399 to NY if you're worried about cost.
In Feb I flew with Aer Lingus, transferring at Dublin and going through immigration was amazing. Even for Visa holders its still far quicker.
Edit: You know i just checked the Jet2 thing. Direct flight from Glasgow (for example) to Newark was only £363. The dates are a bit smelly. Im sure you could giggle it around.

I flew Norwegian Air as well, £355 direct return to JFK on a dreamliner.
You can fly direct from Heathrow or Manchester for ~£320 depending on the time of year you go. I believe it was the off months like May/June, September/October (all out of holidays obviously). I found it by just doing nearly every week on Skyscanner.
EDIT: For reference, I found this only 2 or 3 weeks ago (didn't book, was just looking out of interest).

lol, raised a smile
You are actually probably best on an older plane, which already has crash experience and had subsequent recalls over the years.
They're still a safe plane to fly on, just as safe as a 747 built in the 80s, so don't worry about it too much!
The reality it the only way to get over the scare of flying is fly more in my experience. Never been a great passenger in anything, but over the years I have totally got over my fear of flying simply because I spent a long time flying and you sort of get use to the noises, processes, beeps and bongs and experience so many different forms of weather you get more comfortable.
I got 6 flights coming up in 2 weeks. I always think if we crash then i'll leave a beautiful corpse, with pants full of poop.
Or bits of a torso strapped to a chair
Numerous companies list the routes they fly certain aircraft on (Singapore Airlines for example list every route they travel and what aircraft covers it). Some flight sites detail what plane is used on the flight, but I've ever seen any that let you filter based on it.
