I’ve been a passenger on a plane coming in to land from a long haul flight, in heavy crosswinds. The pilot aborted the landing just before touch down on the first attempt. You could see the plane rolling back and forth if you looked out of the window. The plane went up into a holding pattern before attempting and aborting a second time. We were told there was some mild turbulence. I wouldn’t say it was mild, it felt pretty dicey the first time around. With the plane safely on the ground, I asked the crew and they confirmed as much.
