Glad my original flight yesterday was canceled, when the weather was worse.

Glad they took the "spurious warning" seriously & stayed longer on the tarmac this morning to double check.

Landing at Boston Logan always freaks me out. I have never liked flying because it gives me a stomachache. But that bit where you're flying over water, so close to the water, before you see the beach and touch down right after. Freaks me out.

Midway. You can practically read license plates on cars in their driveway. You can check the selection at the Dunkin Donuts across the street. Then a runway magically appears below you, and the pilot stands on the brakes to stop the plane before it crashes into the next street.

That used to be my home airport and I totally get it.

LaGuardia, same. 😱

OTOH if the plane's going to ditch, water is slightly softer than someone's house?
(Says the person who hasn't flown in 24 years.)

Wait, like before 9/11??

Weekend before actually - my own personal panic attacks said "nope that's enough of that" once I landed. And then, 9/11.

Amtrak & personally owned vehicles work for me since. I'm a homebody anyway. 😁

Also true for DCA (National). The first time I flew into DC I looked out the window and all I could see was the Potomac. Thought we were going into the river. Logan is also a notorious difficult airport according to pilots.

Glad you made it home safely
