Carrick revealed the details of Boro's scary 24 hours before securing a late draw at the Saints' home.
Emmanuel Latte Lath headed in a 90th-minute equaliser after Adam Armstrong had put Saints into the driving seat.
It had come after 70mph winds battered the south coast and forced a hairy two attempts at landing into Southampton Airport on Thursday.
Carrick said: "We didn't get to the hotel until about 10pm last night after our flight was abandoned coming into land.
"We were getting blown all over the place as we were trying to coming into land and then we ended up having to take off again. We almost got diverted to Birmingham.
"It was tasty. Some of the boys were slightly tetchy, it wasn't pleasant." Boro have 11 injuries including four centre-backs on the sidelines, and Carrick hailed their display.
