Flights From Hell flies you into the unknown skies with stories about the adventures and anxieties of airline travel.
Commercial airline travel takes us far, far out of our comfort zone. We're herded into cylinders that zip hundreds of miles per hour at 30,000 feet, subjected to security screenings, confronted with delays and lost luggage, rushed to catch connecting flights, constrained to small seats, scrunched up with strangers, and surrounded by pathogens.
Is it any wonder we end up becoming a bundle of raw nerves by journey's end?
Find out what others have had to endure by reading flying hell stories that feature true tales of flights gone bad written by passengers and flight crews.
Also see airline disaster stories that guest bloggers have submitted, and what commentators have to say about the state of commercial air travel.
