Prepare to rethink your travel plans. A flight from Charlottesville, Virginia, to Washington Dulles International Airport faced a harrowing journey through a severe winter storm, leading to a nightmarish experience for nearly all passengers—yes, even the pilots weren’t spared from the ordeal.
As the aircraft neared its landing, the Aviation Weather Center received a distressing report detailing the chaos: “EXTREMELY BUMPY ON DESCENT. NEARLY EVERYONE ON THE PLANE THREW UP. PILOTS WERE ON THE EDGE OF VOMITING.” It’s hard not to feel a wave of sympathy—along with a slight queasiness—when hearing about such an unfortunate situation.
In a statement, United Airlines provided a composed recount of the harrowing event, stating, “Air Wisconsin Flight 3833, operating as United Express from Charlottesville to Dulles, encountered turbulence due to high winds. A few passengers on the regional jet experienced illness as the aircraft was preparing to land. The plane landed safely and reached the gate without any medical emergencies.”
However, passengers had a different tale to tell. Many took to social media to describe the tumultuous flight filled with vomiting, relentless turbulence, and overall distress. One passenger recounted, “I felt like I was going to throw up all over the place… Lots of people were throwing up in bags. It was pretty crazy.“
The internet responded with empathy, with many expressing their horror at the thought of such a chaotic flight. A collective sigh of relief washed over those who learned that everyone was ultimately okay. As one Twitter user aptly noted, “Whew. So glad that everyone is fine. Also, I will never complain about minor air turbulence again.”
This wasn’t the only flight affected by the winter storm. Another traveler, Jenna Smith, on her way to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, shared similar experiences of sickness aboard her flight.
