Watch a 737's Final Approach at Hyperspeed

An admittedly under-informed flight booker, Daniel arrived at TPG in May 2017 still convinced that Spirit Airlines was an viable travel option. But after just one summer at the frequent flyer's front lines, he's changed for the better.

Airsickness is not exactly a common occurrence at sea-level — its got the word "air" in it for a reason. But if you've been looking to put those complimentary motion sickness baggies you lifted from seat 12C to good use (and you've got a mythically queasy stomach) take a gander at this crazy aviation video, shot by a Delta pilot on final approach into Atlanta's Hartsfield–Jackson International Airport.

Sped up for your sanity's sake, the video turns what was probably an uneventful flight into an absolute roller-coaster ride. There are sharp turns, steep drops and sudden stops. Even a minor flight path adjustment looks massive when presented at hyper-speed. The Boeing 737 can't fly nearly this fast — you need to get beyond the atmosphere to go even close to this speed. Even so, it'll give you a cool view of the landing from the cockpit.
