It’s a beautiful day to fly! Becca Tilley was on the same flight as Ellen Pompeo on Wednesday, July 19, and just like any of Us would, she asked her for a photo!
The Bachelor alum, 28, took to Twitter to express her excitement and ask her followers for advice through a hilarious poll, which more than 7,000 people participated in.
Y'all. My favorite celeb of all time is on my flight. Do I:

More than 91% of fans encouraged the fashion blogger to reach out to the Grey’s Anatomy star, 47 — and she took their advice.
Hi @EllenPompeo -seat 1F here.If I ask for a pic, will that go well for me or no? Let me know in advance to save devastation/embarrassment.

Fellow Bachelor contender Olivia Caridi also weighed in on the excitement, tweeting Tilley, “OMG I’M SO JEALOUS if there is turbulence on that flight everyone is in such good hands.”
Tilley later tweeted: “I’ve never felt safer on a plane, knowing that Meredith Grey is on here with me.”
Pompeo portrays Dr. Meredith Grey on the ABC medical drama, and her character is no stranger to airborne crises. In the season 8 finale, Dr. Grey survived after her plane crashed in the woods. Five seasons later, the stouthearted surgeon preformed brain surgery amid turbulence on an injured passenger.
While awaiting a response from the actress, Tilley took to Twitter again to voice her nerves.
I'm watching greys anatomy. If she walks by and sees this…. I'll beam with pride.

I only slept 2 hours last night and couldnt wait to get on the plane and sleep- but I'm SO ANXIOUS & STRESSED about saying hi to ELLEN YALL.

Scared I'm going to say something like "do you miss derek or Cristina more" and ruin everything for myself.

What if I panic and try to say something inspiring like "you're the reason I went to med school" – I NEED THIS FLIGHT TO END.

The reality star finally made her move, but she didn’t get her happy ending.
Guys I asked the husband to be polite and he said it wasn't a great idea because the kids were there. So I was respectful. ??♀️

That was the most anticlimactic ending to an anxiety and stress filled and excited situation. I FEEL LIKE I LET YALL DOWN AND MYSELF DOWN.
— Becca Tilley (@beccatilley5) July 19, 2017
Nonetheless, Tilley remained positive.
I feel like I'll see her again-ya know? Maybe I'll have slept & look human & she'll be in a mood to dance it out & it'll be worth the wait.

ABC has confirmed that Grey’s Anatomy will return for a 14th season, which will air in the fall.
To conclude- @EllenPompeo I love you forever! Until next time! ??
