A close call

is a situation where something bad or unwanted almost happens, but you narrowly avoid it.

Example:

Imagine you have an early morning flight.

You leave home with plenty of time, but there’s unexpected traffic on the way to the airport.

The minutes keep passing.

By the time you arrive, you’re running through the terminal with your suitcase.

You get to the gate just as they’re preparing to close it.

You make it onto the plane, sit down, and finally breathe.

“That was a close call. I thought I was going to miss my flight.”
