You could be right, PAXboy. Until last year, I'd only experienced one go-around. But then last year, I had 5 go-arounds in one day. My local airport is prone to fog, the pilot had 3 goes at landing and took us back to Auckland. We then tried again a couple of hours later, had 2 further attempts and then diverted. For me, the interesting part was that as we flew back round, there was a gap in the cloud which meant that the view of the airport from above was completely clear. However, the horizontal view on approach was completely obscured by the surrounding cloud.
This was in a 19-seater with an open cockpit door, so I could see pretty much what the pilots could see (i.e. lots of fog and not much else). I was very happy that they didn't land. Being able to see what the pilots were doing definitely made the experience less unsettling than it would otherwise have been.
