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 [...]

Struck By A Sharp Elbow

January 19, 2010 Passenger Stories

I was on a long distance flight. I deliberately picked a window seat in the first row in economy. I knew I’d have more room there to stretch my legs, and there would be no one in front of me to lower there seat onto my knees. After I took my seat, an woman in [...]

Secret Service Agent Man

January 18, 2010 Passenger Stories

Many years ago I was on a flight from Miami to Washington, D.C. My seatmate was an attractive man who proceeded to talk to me. In chatting, he said: “You probably can’t guess what I do.” I could not. It turns out he was a Secret Service agent. He was on the flight to guard [...]

Maniac On Board

January 16, 2010 Passenger Stories

On a flight from Las Vegas to Oakland my husband and I were seated in a row of 3 seats and the middle seat was vacant, and I believe the only vacant seat on the plane. About 1/2 and hour out of Vegas we heard yelling, screaming, cursing and the sound of a crying baby [...]

The Screamer

January 14, 2010 Passenger Stories

I was flying from JFK to Barcelona, Spain two summers ago. I was traveling with a group of about 30, and of course I was the only one who wasn’t seated near ANYONE from the group. After taking off on the long flight across the ocean, the woman next to me finally says something to [...]

Beer Brawl

January 11, 2010 Passenger Stories

I was on a flight from Copenhagen to Bangkok, with the flight going on to Singapore. There were 3 Germans on the flight who started drinking the moment the plane departed, and didn’t stop. No problem there, but they were sitting apart, and wanted to talk to each other. As they drank, they got more [...]
