Jennifer Aniston experienced a nerve-wracking airplane journey alongside her companions while traveling from Los Angeles to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, roughly four months ago. The moment television host Ellen DeGeneres learned about the turbulent flight, she immediately sent a text message to the 50-year-old actress. During Aniston’s recent appearance on The Ellen Show, she shared that DeGeneres was the first person to express genuine concern by asking if she was alright. Aniston playfully acknowledged DeGeneres’s worry, highlighting that she indeed has someone who cares for her.
Terrifying: Jennifer Aniston found herself in a harrowing situation four months ago when she embarked on a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with her friends. The beloved actress, known for her portrayal of Rachel Green on NBC’s iconic show Friends, was taking a birthday vacation with pals, including Courteney Cox and Molly, the wife of Jimmy Kimmel. Unfortunately, their plans took an alarming turn when their flight had to divert back to Los Angeles due to an emergency caused by a blown-out rear tire.

Aniston, who stars in The Office Christmas Party, recounted the frightening experience, describing how the plane was tilting and the turbulence was relentless. For about an hour and a half, the passengers were gripping their seats, terrified of what might happen next.
The crew on board informed everyone about the gravity of the situation, causing panic and tears to fill the cabin. Passengers hurriedly reached out to their loved ones, texting partners, children, and family members. Amidst the chaos, Aniston managed to stay remarkably calm and composed.
During this nerve-wracking moment, Aniston thought about who she should reach out to for comfort and support. Instantly, her phone buzzed with a message from Ellen DeGeneres, asking if she was okay.

Surprising: Jen revealed that despite her fear of flying, she remained calm during a scary incident on a chartered flight to Mexico. As the plane was taxiing, there was a loud noise that resembled a massive pothole if it were a car attempting to cross the Grand Canyon, according to Aniston.
Approximately two hours into the flight, the pilots made the decision to turn the aircraft around and head back to California.
