Its very frightening for me when the plane in which i am travelling passed through a thick cloud, its also the announcements that frighten you, "Fasten your seat belts, nothing to worry, which means something wrong and you worry alot!
Has something like this happened to you ever?

Depends if the clouds the plane is passing through is very dark. I have experienced it always and the seat belt sign goes on. But if the area is very light as in very white it's as if we're passing through a different strange environment. It's kind of nice actually.

I like seeing the view during take off and landing up being up in the clouds can get boring. Sometimes when up in the clouds there is very bright sunlight and all the windows have to have their shutters down. I prefer to be able to see out.
I booked a flight to Tunisia and the week before that airline went out of business. Luckily another airline took on that route so I went with them. Unfortunately the weather was dire. The plane experienced so very much turbulence that it was quite scary. I got a coffee spilled all over me. I had severe ear pain when the plane landed in Tunis and then it carried on to Sfax I was sick. I felt ill and was sick everywhere on landing the second time. I dropped my immigration card and so it wasn't a great start to my vacation on Kerkenna Island.

Nope, I enjoy watching the clouds - white and fluffy. However I don't like turbulence, when the plane becomes bumpy or travels through stormy weather and lightning!

I was just on a plane (3 different cities) last week and experienced just that. I have traveled alot by planes and yes when they are going thru the clouds I get a bit nervous wondering how they don't crash into another plane. I know air traffic is suppose to be monitoring the direction of planes but that still doesn't make me feel better because there is always room for human error that can take place. So I just start praying that usually calms me down.
