Have you ever been on a scary turbulent flight?

I'm curious what it was like? I've been on quite bumpy flights before, but the flight attendants always looked fine/ bored, so I wasn't worried and just kept watching whatever film. But I'm lucky as have no fear of flying in general, so perhaps easy for me to dismiss it.

Has anyone been on a really frightening flight where you were worried things might deteriorate? Did you get on a plane again after?

@loginfail @backinthebox thanks for all your replies they are fascinating! Have either of you listened to Cabin Pressure, the airline sitcom?

@SisterMichael yes, it is hilarious and really quite close to the real thing! The writer's dad was an airline pilot.

@VetOnCall

Yes many times as used to travel globally for work. The worst experience was coming into land in Edinburgh and the pilot aborted very late. Found out upon landing that an Easyjet plane had 'pulled' out in front of us. I was very thankful for a brilliant pilot that day.

@Inthemuckheap I used to live in Edinburgh, travelled a lot, and that also happened to me when flying home once - I wonder if we were on the same flight?! The plane was about to touch down and all was really quiet then suddenly the engines roared and it went up like a lift 😳 I can't remember where we were flying back from though as it was quite a few years ago now.

Hopefully was the same flight - sounds like it or it's something that happens far too often in Edinburgh! It was a flight from London iirc.
