2009

I was flying home from a relaxing vacation in Lakeland Florida and of course our flight flew from Orlando…. home of Disney World. As my luck would be, the flight was full and who would sit beside me a lady who gets very sick on planes. As the plane took off her appearance started to […]

My wife and I decided to take our kids, ages 1 and 4, to Las Vegas for a vacation. When trying to book the flights we could not get a direct flight back from Vegas to NY. Speaking with the Northwest reservation agent, she suggested we take a red eye flight that had a stop over […]

Damp Derrière

in Seat Stories

Well, mine isn’t nearly as terrible as most of the stories posted hear but here’s my horror story. I was taking a flight to Seattle with my brother to go visit our family for Christmas. I was 14 at the time I think. Everything went smooth, the check in, boarding, seating, everything. Except for the […]

Cantankerous Lowlife

December 15, 2009

in Seat Stories

On a flight from Seattle to San Diego this very inconsiderate woman reclined her seat too far back. After what seemed like 1.5 hours I woke her up and asked her to move up a little because I was beginning to feel uncomfortable and needed to move around. She told me to “shut my mouth and […]

Let me just start off my saying I am a former flight attendant, but that in no way makes me responsible for other’s rudeness. Hubby and I went to Maui for our 10th anniversary and I used my miles to book us in first class. We flew from PHX to DFW, then on to Maui. […]

I came to this site expecting a laugh. What I got were a bunch of pampered, whining babies. Most of these stories make me sick to my stomach. YOU guys are exactly whom I do not want to sit by. YOU guys are just as guilty as the people you write about of ruining flights. […]

Without a doubt, I have had my share of bad, even unbelievably bad, experiences in the ugly skies. There was the time I helped push an airport van through snow in Austin, Texas (snow? yes, it happens) and when we got to the airport, with all the passengers seated and ready to go, we learned […]

I was the passenger from hell. I was flying from Texas to MD with my 2 month old son. I knew I did not fly well and had asked the doctor what I could take as I was nursing. He said it was quick flight and I would be fine. WRONG!! I had to take […]

One memorable flight from hell started like this… I began my journey in Atlanta and was traveling back home to Los Angeles. After hours of delays the plane took off from Atlanta and soon we were on the ground in Memphis. The first part of the flight was uneventful. The flight from Memphis to LA […]

Rowdy Russian Flight

December 11, 2009

in Airplane Stories

Years ago on a flight from Chicago to Moscow, I flew the Russian airline in an attempt for not only cost savings, but to have the ill-thought thorough “authenticity” of my Russian experience. Over the next 12 hours I settled in at the back of the plane to try to get some sleep to try to dwindle down the […]

False Alarm

December 11, 2009

in Airplane Stories

On a recent flight from KWI to Dubai, I was lucky enough to be assigned a window, emergency exit row. This seemed great as I am over 6 feet, and was looking forward to being able to stretch out my legs and sleep for the 1 1/2 hour flight as I had just spent the […]

I fear that I may have been a passenger that accounted for fellow passengers experiencing a “flight from hell.” I had 11 hours to kill before my flight in Anchorage, Alaska with no car and a mile or more walk from the airport before I could find any place to hang out. I checked my […]
