Fear of Missing Out: A Traveler's Tale from 30,000 Feet

A brief video posted online captures a moment of relatable travel frustration. Filmed from an airplane window at night, the video shows a Japan Airlines oneworld 787-9 Dreamliner, a more modern aircraft than the one the author is on. The author, expressing feelings of FOMO (fear of missing out), comments on the appeal of the other plane. The video, while short, highlights a common traveler experience: the subtle disappointment of not being on the "better" plane. While not a major event, it shows the human side of travel and the small moments that can create strong emotions.
