As I'm sure Keith will tell you, air pockets don't exist. It's just turbulence. As I think it says in his book, if air pockets existed up in the air, they'd happen at ground level too which means occasionally we'd be walking along the street and find ourselves suddenly without air.
And if you don't believe it, google 'do air pockets exist?'
I think it's natural to keep thinking 'what if, what if,' even though we know it's counterproductive. After all, you don't think like that in your day-to-day life or you'd quickly go mad. What helped me is getting answers to all the 'what if' questions and keeping them in my mind. So what if there's turbulence? Then it'll be bumpy and uncomfortable but the plane's built to withstand it. What if we hit a bird? Then it won't end well for the bird, but the engines have been tested to withstand bird strikes and airports do everything they can to discourage birds. There are answers to all these 'what if' questions - the hard part is learning to listen to them and ignoring what your fear is telling you.
Welcome to the site, I hope it helps you. I think it's really great that you're so determined not to pass your fear on to your daughter. I'm sure you'll do it :)

Hi Dorthe

Remember that turbulence is normal and planes are meant to fly, so they function best in the air.
If you have more questions, keep posting them here. We're all here to help one another :)
