Here's why you shouldn't be worried about the weather
Weather for fearful flyers... the
first thing that you have to remember about the weather is that
contrary to what you'd think ... the weather has less influence on a
plane, than on road traffic. Paradoxically, it's because we can fly in
bad weather that we suffer delays. It's easy to get a plane on and off the ground ... the problem is getting the pasengers to and from the plane and airport.
So
on a day when you'd have to leave the car in the garage and stay at
home ... the airlines continue operating, albeit in a limited way.
That's not to say that there aren't some long delays ... of course there
are but it takes time to clear a runway of snow, and when it's foggy
planes can't land as frequently ... but they are still flying. Things
slow down, but they don't grind to a halt like they do on the roads.
Top Tips about weather:
- A plane cannot land or take off if the visibility or wind is outside the prescribed limits.
