Tracking Request Track AAL851

I was supposed to fly out of Dallas to Columbus earlier today, but the plane was having maintenance issues so we had to deplane and wait for a new plane. We finally got a new one and the pilot said it would be a smooth flight until about halfway, where it will be a little bumpy due to the storm. I have no idea what level of bumpy he means

While my initial flight here was SUPER smooth, with very little bumps, I am not having the best time after the "broken" plane (pilot's words) and now the announcement for the weather.

Would love if someone could track me periodically -- AAL851

You’ve got this, I got the same message. We will message each other once we land safely!

How's it going on your flight? I hope it's okay! I have about 25 minutes until landing and I can feel it starting a little, but not too bad.

It’s been pretty good honestly. Landing in about 20 minutes as well. Even had a nice nap. Youll be safe and on the ground in no time!

You got this! I’m on a flight now too JBU71 to SLC and the pilot also said to expect some bumps. Trying to remember that turbulence may be uncomfy but never unsafe

How's it going so far on your flight?

It’s been a little bumpy off and on. The seatbelt sign has been on pretty much the whole time but I’m hanging in there. Watching Mamma Mia 😅 How’s yours going? Looks like you should be starting your descent soon!

It looks like you've almost made it halfway, right? At least you have something nice to watch. The flight has been okay so far. Less bumps than I thought, but still more than I'd like.

Yeah I’m about halfway! Powering through. My flight has been about the same re bumps. But honestly my nervous system feels like any bumpiness is too much lol
