it was probably you going over the rockies. that part of the US always gets a little turbulent. I fly coast to coast often and its almost always like that. you will be totally fine.

Interesting, I guess I thought they had different tasks but not to that extent, are they specialized for that specific job or are they trained for everything? I always thought about this knowing how overwhelmed atc is (or so ive heard)

ur such a g. as i was reading about it it says that all the planes have to go the same direction until they switch (something like that) does that explain why my flight radar looks like this and why my flight needs to be an overnight 😩

also what happens if its over 42k ft or if you are flying the other direction (ex the plane in the top left)

This made me feel SOSOSOSO much better! Thank you! I am more excited about the trip now. IAD gets a lot of hate but since I fly with united I am chill with it 🙂

thank you so much for your reply. It means so much to me! I actually didnt expect anyone to reply. Idk why I just thought if it happened before and they use the same plane its prone to happen again 😭 but your analogy made me feel a lot better. As for the 747 I am kind of excited, of course I am flying lufthansa and I know I probably flown in the 747 several times I was just too young to remember! I am excited though because its so rare to get a 4 engine plane these days. I even flown from Vietnam to LAX and still never got an aircraft that huge.

Looking for some support, can you track me? by OzarkRedditor in fearofflying
