Perfect. I love the insecurity of the narrator here.

Airports and air travel are the perfect bubble – a closed-system buffer between origin and destination. I love airports, and I love this piece. You’ve captured a lot of sentiment here, from the insecurity noted by Ms. Deane to the sense of possibility and anticipation. Nice. If I may offer suggestions, you have some room to trim the words (“looking out at the people”, “below us” for instance) that would give you more room to convey your feelings.
