[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 […]

My husband is the worst air-traveler; he doesn’t follow the rules and always wears the most security-risking, time-consuming accessories and shoes. After 25 years of trying to convince him there’s a better way, he still dresses like this when flying. This flight from hell actually took place after the flight, and took place just before 9/11. […]

Several years ago, on a trip from Hartford to San Francisco, we had to change planes at ORD. We were on United. The first leg of the trip was uneventful (in the words of John Cleese: “it was relatively crash-free”). We had a short connection, but we made it to our gate in time. We […]

If I recall correctly, I was flying on a 737 from Chicago to San Jose, or perhaps San Jose to Chicago. I had the aisle and seated next to me was a mother and her son, about 7 years old. Immediately after the aircraft reached cruising altitude, the mother popped out of her seat and […]

This goes back to when I was in college, back when US airlines were flying 747s domestically, Nixon was President, and the planes that are now flying for NW were only 10 years old. As a kid, I never knew what flying with a reservation was. I was an airline brat. It allowed me to […]

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 […]

Dude. I have a terrible story. I flew from Istanbul, where I was visiting my dad, to San Diego. After being thoroughly searched 3 or 4 times, one of which the attendant may now nearly claim carnal knowledge of my person, I boarded the flight from hell. The flight was 3 hours delayed while we […]

This is a long one (especially from my perspective) but worth the read: So I’m on this Continental flight from Houston to Kansas City sitting in the middle seat waiting for the rest of the passengers to board. I am 6 feet tall and weigh around 250 lbs. but easily can fit between the arm […]

This flight wasn’t really hellish, just funny. When I was in college in Ohio in the ’80’s, I would fly home to Connecticut for Christmas via La Guardia to our local small airport. The now-defunct airline that I took from LGA to Connecticut was called Pilgrim Airlines, and they flew a fleet of small turboprops; […]

This story is more about my asinine brother-in-law than it is about flights from hell. In all fairness the airline DID manage to lose his luggage on a nonstop flight from Las Vegas to Phoenix. So here we are, a few days before Christmas and my BIL, who ALWAYS drives when he visits us in […]

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. […]

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 […]
