jazakallah for clarifying,

There is also a miqaat in jeddah - they call it big (bari) meeqat. Whats all that about then?

Assalam Alaikum.

The miqaat in Jeddah is for the people coming from the sea.

It is very simple. Consider Makkah to be within a circle. The circle is called Miqaat. You can not cross that circle unless you are in Ihram. The plane crosses the miqaat in air, therefore, it is necessary to put yourself in Ihram in the plane.
