Happened to us last Sunday, we approached the runway, could not have been more than 10 - 15 feet off the runway and the pilot hammers down on it, we get back up into the air a ways and it is like he hits the brakes, then we start a big circle, finally after about ten minutes ( felt like an hour ) the pilot comes on and says he had to abort landing because a plane did not get off the runway in time for him to land, we will be landing shortly. Pretty sure everyone on the plane was having a private conversation with the Man above during this attempted landing.

I'd prefer not to experience a "touch & go" in a commercial aircraft.

I've had some scary landings. I remember landing in Knoxville back in the 80's in a very strong crosswind on a gusty windy day and at the last minute our plane's wing dipped to starboard. Don't see how it didn't touch the ground. My dad who had many hours in the air in Alaska with Wien Airlines looked at me with very wide eyes right after the plane corrected.
Advice? Wise men don't need it. Fools won't heed it.

No touch and go landing attempts; but, had a flight diverted to Bergstom/Austin from DFW about an hour from scheduled landing.

Had one at Houston Hobby a few years ago aboard a SW Airlines flight. Another aircraft on the ground was crossing the runway directly in our landing path. Quite a roar those engines can make when the pilot pushes the throttle all the way up!

Only once. Landing in San Antonio in heavy fog. One attempt and then it was back to Dallas.

Had one touch and go and one abort. The touch and go was scary as we had to go back up due to running out of runway. The abort was due to a huge flock of birds on the runway. We still managed to take one out and lost power to one engine. It was in Louisiana and had to be a big bird it went right in the fan and blood/guts were all down the plan when we landed.

Yes, and it’s happened more than one time. Anybody who has flown a lot for business has most likely experienced all manner of takeoff/landing hiccups
When I was 17, alone on my very FIRST flight, the aircraft had a mechanical problem and the pilot announced there would emergency vehicles lining the runway when we landed in case something untoward happened
Not how I wanted to experience my first flight

I’d say I’ve had at least one unplanned missed approach per month for the past 15 years

Once did a go-around at Memphis Tenn. Very gusty winds and storms around the airport. Rocked and rolled last ten miles, went around and it was smooth as glass when we landed on a different runway. Exciting ending on a nonstop flight from the Netherlands.

Yep. Coming in to Denver and looking out the window at another plane right beside us and thought how cool it was to have two planes land at the same time side by side, you know, two runways. NOPE, power up and turn left! I was listening to the pilot on headphones (years ago) and the pilot say's to copilot "where the hell did he come from, he's supposed to be 15 minutes ahead of us". I could the faces of the passengers in the other plane, that's how close we were, wing to wing and almost on the ground. That was my first flight.

Never that but one time landing in Jakarta the plane came down so hard the overhead bins pooped open and some bags fell on people. It was ROUGH to say the least.

Once, going into Dallas Love Field. Had a King Air landing on a crossing runway. ATC advised us he was 1.5 miles directly to our port. We never could see him so my pilot declared "no joy" and asked for a go around, to which ATC replied "Whiskey Hotel, fly runway heading, climb to x and turn left on such and such heading. We flew directly over the top of that King Air at about 400 feet. Had my pilot not gone around, I'm sure we would have had a collision on the ground.
One other time coming into Love, we were on short final, just over Bachmann Lake. ATC comes on and says "340 Whiskey Hotel, descend to flight level xxxx and maintain heading. My pilot says "umm, I don't think you meant Whiskey Hotel, we're on short final at the runway threshold." ATC..."sorry about that." "340 Whiskey Hotel clear to land on Runway XX."
If you've flown much up front and listened to ATC a bunch, it is amazing what those men and women do. How they keep us all separated and safe (most of the time) is a marvel to me.

Wow!
