I recently flew back from Bordeaux. I noticed whilst at the airport on the return journey, I was all wobbly, like I have just stepped off a boat after being at sea for hours.
This is not the first time this has happened. It feels like the floor is moving.

Am I alone in this and just weird?

You are on the moving walkway.

I sometimes get that in hotels if I use the lift, and there are no windows on the floor (usually a corridor with just rows of doors)

Do you get anxious about flying?

It's probably due to a transitory inner ear disturbance caused by the changes in air pressure in the plane. Jet lag and dehydration can also be contributing factors. But see your doctor.

This was before I boarded the plane.

Afraid not. Not this time. T'is a strange sensation, I wonder if it's anything to do with the planes making the airport vibrate and move slightly?
