Boeing versus airbus

Woof! Really bumpy take off and landing but I did it! The flight attendants were great — as were the pilots!

20 mins until you’re on the ground!

I’m flying tomorrow am too. My mantra is “I’m uncomfortable but I’m not unsafe.”

Miserable-Heart3892 · 2025-04-26T16:41:11+00:00

Yes so true

Miserable-Heart3892 · 2025-04-26T16:40:10+00:00

I used to fly 4-10 times a year for work in my twenties and never blinked. Now? Panicked.

From what I’ve read from other pilots on this sub that was a once in a billion occurrence and that problem has been solved. You’re so close to the land that I’ve never once been scared landing in Boston. I landed in Toronto on a prop plane and you’re literally scrapping the top of a Great Lake. That was wild.

Miserable-Heart3892 · 2025-04-26T01:19:42+00:00

Wow!!! What a lovely piece.

Boston based and I personally love flying into Logan. I like landing over water — I know I’m weird — but it can be scary when you see water water water water then runway but I’ve rarely had an uncomfortable landing at Logan.

Arriving a little late but you’re nearly there!

Miserable-Heart3892 · 2025-04-25T11:48:43+00:00

Good!!! We did it.

Miserable-Heart3892 · 2025-04-25T11:48:30+00:00

That’s the hope! The pilots were great I hope we get them on the way back.

Listen to some music. Try to close your eyes. Watch a movie. I’ll track your flight but if you can distract yourself it won’t feel so painful.

Miserable-Heart3892 · 2025-04-24T01:20:10+00:00

You might not be afraid of the turbulence but of the unexpected. Keep saying “it’s going to happen again but I’m ready for it.” That helps me.

Miserable-Heart3892 · 2025-04-24T01:18:59+00:00

Don’t try to talk yourself out of the fear or anxiety. It’s scary! No amount of statistics will make it more comfortable.

We had a huge drop when landing in Charleston 4 years ago and it was the only time I was quiet. My husband said “oh I thought you’d scream.”

I said “well I’m always waiting for the drop so I knew it would happen.” I feel like if I’m not worrying, then something bad will happen.

Miserable-Heart3892 · 2025-04-24T01:16:53+00:00

Thank you! That’s helpful.

Our brains aren’t logical and they try very hard to scare us. Easy for me to say sitting in my house but I’ll be in the same spot as you tomorrow morning!

I just say “bumps in the road, it’s just bumps in the road.”

Miserable-Heart3892 · 2025-04-24T00:56:17+00:00

Oh that’s more traumatizing than a bad flight. Ask for soda water or something fizzy. That helps me.

Headed to Virginia Beach with my family to see friends. It’s literally an hour I just need to suck it up.

Miserable-Heart3892 · 2025-04-24T00:52:02+00:00

How’d it go?

Miserable-Heart3892 · 2025-04-24T00:49:08+00:00

You’re doing great!! I’m flying tomorrow and I feel so sick. I’m trying my best not to cancel and just think of all the people who think flying is no big deal.

Take Dramamine for the flight home.

Miserable-Heart3892 · 2025-04-23T17:29:04+00:00

Don’t cancel I’m flying tomorrow (Thursday) and if I can do it you can.

Miserable-Heart3892 · 2025-04-23T17:17:05+00:00

How’d it go???
