I don't know how to explain it. On a 7x7, you don't look out the window and get the sense you're going 500 miles an hour, whereas today it felt like a screaming rollercoaster.
This article has made me feel much better about the return flight tommorow. Thanks!
That sounds rather odd, unless there was turbulence. I don't normally feel the smaller jets are going faster, even though they sometimes are... but not enough to be noticeable.
