Yup. You read that right. We got from KC to Minneapolis in 55 minutes because the pilot was like....uhh...hang on we are just going to get you there.
The turbulence...was....violent. It was so bad, you could hear people gasp, and in my case, almost scream. I yelped, is more like it. The plane was slamming down, and then slamming to the right and left. It was like being on a rollar coaster. I had no idea that turbulence could be that bad.
Needless to say I was crying. It was a rather empty flight and the big guy in front of me turned around and asked me if I was ok - and another lady told me to just breathe.
But the whole flight was shaken. Everyone was speechless when we landed. Luckily I had taken xanex and had met the captain but it didnt help. He did come on the speaker ever 15 minutes if that tells you anything, and told us that it was going to be really bad but we would get there.
Ok - seriously. It was horrible. Horrible.
But...the good news. I made it. Whew. I thought I was going to throw up or pass out.
But I made it.
And I'm still flying back a week from Friday.
Whew.
What a ride.
In my flights and in my life, I would like a little less turbulence, thank you.
