So interesting you mention this. I love to fly but am not the best at handling turbulence (well, anything more than moderate) ever since a bad experience a few years ago. Whilst my uncle's been an airline pilot for 37 years and I know, I really do, that turbulence is neither anything to be afraid of nor a particular safety issue, I still get anxious. I don't mind the bumps up and down, but it's that feeling that the aircraft could "flip" sideways that makes my body go into "flight" mode. Ridiculous and annoying
