I was flying from Los Angeles to Seattle in first class. My husband was on one side of the aisle and I was on the other so I asked the person sitting next to him if he’d switch with me so my husband and I could sit together. They agreed and we switched. A few […]

I once boarded a flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix a few years ago… this was on an airline that did assigned seating. I ended up somehow sitting between a very elderly French couple. I gladly tried to trade seats with one of them so they could sit together except that not only did the stewardess […]

Back in 2004 I was returning to Iraq after emergency leave because my Grandfather died. I sat next to a guy that seemed pretty friendly. A few minutes into the flight he pulls out a can of dip and slaps a huge amount into his lower lip. Being in the military I’m pretty used to […]

I had two weird things happen to me traveling from Hong Kong to Los Angeles via Manila on Philippine Airlines. Upon landing at Manila Airport, I was enjoying the landscape of Manila as we approached the runway. I would guess that we were close enough to the ground that I would maybe be able to […]

I’ve been amused by the stories on here of being seated by huge or smelly people, but my worst airline experience is of an entirely different nature. I was flying from Northern CA to Los Angeles on business, so I was alone and just trying to keep to myself. Unfortunately, I was seated next to […]

Several years ago I was working in Louisiana and was only able to fly home to San Diego every other week. I boarded my connection from Houston to San Diego excited that in only 3 more hours I would be home. I took my seat my seat in a fairly jovial mood and was greeted […]

I just came back from a biz trip to Cincinnati. I will be brief – quick flight from Philly, maybe an hour and fifteen minutes. Typical regional jet, cramped, uncomfortable for all on board. The woman that sat next to me was 280 (I’m being serious) maybe 300 lbs. I can deal with it, overweight people […]

I was flying US Air, going home to Seattle from Atlanta for Thanksgiving. First of all I’m already mad that I have to pay $15 to check my bag. Now I am playing video games on my Cell Phone which has the option to shut the phone and wireless off and just use the computer portion […]

I was on a quick flight from BWI to DTW. We boarded the plane as usual and a man in the row behind me got up to use the lavatory at the rear of the plane. However, I guess he didn’t quite make it onto the toilet. Apparently he covered much of the room with […]

[Mature content] I was on a connected flight from DFW to Austin to San Jacinto with my fiance and our then 8 month old daughter. I wanted to take the late flight in hopes that the baby would go to sleep easily and not make a lot of noise (the sleeping didn’t happen, luckily she’s […]

The flight has been going pretty well so far. Wheels up, we’re in the air for a while, no major problems. Looks like life is going to be good. And then, I smelled something… no… couldn’t be… has someone soiled themselves? I look around and to my left across the aisle a mother is changing […]

(#1) On an airbus from Dallas to Los Angeles (after flying to Dallas from London) I was seated one seat from the aisle. The man who sat down next to me was not only giant, buy very hairy and he smelled funny, like body odor and old food. He physically spilled over onto my seat […]
