I've flown on 9/11 for the last 3 years and am flying again on this 9/11. Nothing to worry about. Allow extra time for security and especially somewhere like JFK, be prepared for stupid reporters to be in the way trying to get interviews. Also be prepared for all the doom-criers and kooks to be predicting massive terror attacks and planes falling from the sky. Once you get past the security line, it's just another normal travel day.

Although if she is flying at night, she might get a very nice view of the lights from Ground Zero depending on the flight path. Last year I landed at National Airport (DC) shortly after dark and the memorial lights from the Pentagon were beautiful, touching, and very emotional.

On an anniversary security will be red hot. i would be a fool to make a guarantee but it will be safer tat day than any other

Hope she arrives/arrived home safely. I didn't hear of anything "bad" happening today!

Hibee

If you study the records, you will find that these particular terrorist groups have never made a practice of striking on anniversaries.

The security will be tighter than a drum in the USA that day, so I am sure she will be safe! She may spend a lot of time in queues but that is pretty normal in US airports. I am flying that day and I am not giving it a second thought. So you are right she will be safer on 9/11 than probably anyother day..

Hey,

Im in business I am on an airplane 3-4 times every week. For the last three years I have flown on 9/11 Twice from Boston once from JFK. Security is stricter. I felt nervous my first time but I feel much better now and even safer. JFK is a very secure airport and she will be fine. Im flying out of PHL that day and Im 100% fine.

Again dont worry JFK flights also have air marshals on them.

If your still not sure check this article out.

Security is so uber tight these days and since it is the anniversary of 9/11, I'm pretty sure it might be stricter. For these reasons, I doubt anyone would plan anything bad on that day, it wouldn't be a suprise if they did. I think its one of the safest days to fly, actually.

I should imagine security will be extra tough on that day - people will also be super vigilant! I should imagine its probably the safest day to fly!

Well Bush is flagging in the polls, British troops are being pulled out of Basra, a new bin laden video is set to make an appearance. The conspiracy theorist would say "WATCH OUT. Something will happen pretty soon. Bush needs his Goldstein and his 2 minute hate." I'm sure she'll be just fine

Chances are SO slim that anything out of the ordinary woiuld happen. She'll come home home safe!

there is absolutely no need to worry, she will be fine, the attack on america happened 7 years ago. there is only a stigma attached to that day...the year after 9/11 we went to florida and we were all really worried, and were still all here! No need to be any more scared than any normal mother would be.

I reckon that will probably be the safest day of the year to travel by air.

Let's put it this way. I work for a major U.S. airline. If I had Tuesday off I would fly somewhere just because I can, fly around the country just connecting places for fun. I have no doubt that it is safe.

DON'T PANIC! Once again, don't panic. The purpose of that act has been achieved. She will be as safe as any other flyer, no matter where or when.

She will be ok... lightining doesn't strike int he same place twice...
Dont worry just say a prayer to God just in case ur still shaky about the whole thing but she'll be just fine...
