No Shame

March 1, 2010 Passenger Stories

[Mature content]
My family was taking a flight from San Francisco to Bangkok. Flying in business class, we got nice treatment all the way from the attendants.
The flight was made terrible by a group of Asian men. The got as drunk as they could, belching and laughing while around them others tried to sleep. They were [...]

Clandestine Tobacco Chewer

March 1, 2010 Passenger Stories

A couple of years ago, I sat next to a guy who chewed a wad of tobacco for the entire flight. He would spit into a water bottle every couple of minutes, and hide the bottle between his legs when a stewardess would walk by. Utterly disgusting…

Plane Etiquette

February 24, 2010 Passenger Stories

I was flying back from Malaysia yesterday on Etihad and had specifically requested a row of three seats as I was making a 28 hour journey and was hoping to catch some shut eye on the way back.
You never know with these requests whether they will process, but on this occasion I was lucky enough [...]

Partying Passenger’s Indiscretion

February 23, 2010 Passenger Stories

I recently flew from Liverpool to Amsterdam with one of the budget airlines. It was a 6.15 am flight so I got to the airport early as the airline operates a first come, first seated policy.
I’ve always been amazed that when I get to the airport this flight is always full of the stag weekenders; [...]

Tanked Trannies

February 11, 2010 Passenger Stories

[Mature content]
Back when I used to fly coach, on a flight from Bangkok to Kuwait with a layover in Bahrain, there was a group of drunken Arab trannies. All 7 of them had to be in their early 20s. OK no big deal, if they mind their business I’ll do the same. I just try [...]

Theft On A Plane

February 10, 2010 Passenger Stories

I was on a flight from Florida to Tennessee, returning home from a vacation. A lady a few seats back got settled in, then got up to do something, came back, and her cell phone (which she’d left on her seat) was missing. A stewardess noticed her searching all around on the floor for it, [...]

Passenger Gets What He Asked For

January 26, 2010 Passenger Stories

I was on a flight from Philly to the West Coast via Chicago. I was already in my seat in coach when a man (I won’t call him a gentleman) stormed down the aisle and said that I was in his seat, and that he had a ticket to prove it. Sure enough, he did [...]

Seat Is Stolen From Pregnant Passenger

January 24, 2010 Passenger Stories

Having been a regular flier, I always booked my flights well in advance and always chose the same type of seat - by the aisle closest to the front of the plane. Knowing that my upcoming trips would be towards the end of my pregnancy, I made an extra effort to ensure that I would have [...]

Rough Day Leads To Anxiety Attack

January 23, 2010 Passenger Stories

I am afraid my story incriminates me as a passenger from hell, but it has to be told so that some people can see the other side of bad behavior and maybe sympathize just a tiny bit. Some people don’t mean any harm and just find themselves in a bad situation they never wanted to [...]

Nauseated Over Nail Clipping

January 22, 2010 Passenger Stories

I was on a puddle-jumper from SFO to Bakersfield, about an hour flight. A woman across the aisle started clipping her fingernails, the clippings falling on the floor. This lasted about 10 minutes (It must have been her bi-annual hygene maintenance day). At the end of the flight she got up first and I looked [...]
