[quote=Anonymous]OP, I empathize. I really do. I hate to fly, and panic for days beforehand every time. But the thing that keeps me from freaking out is the certain knowledge that the pilots and air traffic controllers don't want to fly in dangerous conditions either. If it is unsafe, they won't fly. They aren't risk takers. High winds aren't necessarily a concern, either. If the runways are configured in multiple ways, they can fly with the wind, rather than letting the plane be tossed from side to side. I have flown in high winds where it was unimaginably bumpy as well as those where it felt like nothing. As for the other options, if you are still truly terrified, change your flight to a day earlier or a day later. [/quote]
