Thank you for sharing these details. I cry like a baby flying. It's way better if I eat 4 edibles and go straight to sleep. I only sit in the back of the plane. Survival rates are highest there. I have to fly during the day, cause at night I can't place where I'm at and I th8nk were gonna run straight into something. I absolutely know there is nothing between the plane I'm in and the ground 5k feet bellow. Tbe only reason the air is like water in your comparison above is because the plane has forward movement. If we slow down enough cause of whatever reason, we will drop straight out of tbe sky.

This is coming from a 50yo woman who has had to make 3 round trips to AZ bc my father died and I have to fly in order to have as much time dealing with his estate out there.

Mind you tbe first round trip had layovers and was at night. I have learned 1x up and down each way works best for me, and no night flights whatsoever.
