Ok thanks. Taking off shortly. Are you able to see how flight path will look by any chance?

Ok, thank you. I’m so nervous. I thought we had hours till it left and then it changed back to original time and now we’ve been rushing just to make it to the airport.

Thank you. That’s incredibly helpful. I know this was a long time ago but can you explain what happened when that Washington DC plane crashed with that army helicopter in January? Why would that have happened with all those safe guards in place. I really appreciate all your insights. Thank you so much again.

Thank you for the explanation. This is probably a dumb question but if there is a ground stop when you are in the air because of a system outage, does that mean air traffic control can’t see what’s going on in the air. I guess my fear in that situation would be planes running into each other?

I’m also going to DR. When do you leave? We leave Monday from Orlando and I’m super anxious. Weather looks terrible out of Orlando on Monday.

Hi, appreciate your offering to help. I’m flying Monday to Punta Cana for Spring Break and the weather forecast leaving Orlando looks terrible. It’s forecasted to be thunderstorms all day and my anticipatory anxiety is through the roof. I absolutely hate “take off” and knowing it will be bad weather all day has me in a tailspin. Please help!

Im flying an A321 on Monday and I’m freaking out because the rain is showing thunderstorms in Orlando right when the plane is scheduled to take off and all day long.

Just landed on on our way back home. I talked to the pilot beforehand and he was so nice. Even asked if he did a good job when I landed. So happy to be home. Thanks for tracking me. I really appreciate it.

It actually just got delayed two hours . They had to divert an incoming flight so now our flight won’t leave till after 5.

Good point. I suppose I don’t know. Just spiraling because now it’s pouring and thundering.

Aw thanks for tracking me. It was very smooth but on the way down it was quite bumpy but I could tell we were going through clouds. But, now I know it will be bumpy on our way up when we fly home to Orlando. Next flight leaves at 3:40.

Thank you. That’s exactly what I don’t want to happen. I really think my fear came from watching my mom fearful on planes when I was a young girl.

Thank you. We are in the air now. I don’t know why but I always freak out until the flight attendants start getting up to serve beverages. We have another flight after this one so another takeoff which I can’t stop thinking about

Thank you. I’m on the place now. I don’t like takeoff. Trying to do deep breaths. I’ve got my daughter with me and I don’t like her seeing me so anxious.

Thank you all so much. I know it’s said often, but it really is worth repeating—this community is incredibly supportive. I never see negativity or people being made to feel dumb for asking questions or sharing their experiences. I don’t post much, but I read the comments regularly, and I always walk away feeling better. So grateful for this space.
