I think it's about you wanting to travel but you can't. The plane is clearly grounded or you don't have access to it and the woman at the counter are the border controls preventing your movement. You are stuck in a foreign country and can't visit your parents.

Spot on!
Funny enough, I realized this after writing my post. It makes a lot more sense than the perfectionist explanation. Although there seemed to be plenty of places where I could have sat down. The plane didn't lift off indeed and if it did, it was without me and outside of my vision/ hearing.
Like you write here, I too realized that the dream tells me to stay where I am, which is fine - in a way - as my future house is just upon the hill from here ;<)
