Passenger Stories

I had a 6:30am flight from San Diego to Philadelphia. I was soooo tired, and barely awake getting on the plane. I had the emergency exit row with two seats. There is a young woman in her mid-20’s sitting next to where I would be sitting. I found a place to put one bag, and […]

I was traveling with two of my buddies from JFK to Buffalo for our annual Bills/Jets game on a Saturday night. Being the young males that we are we waited for our flight in one of the terminal sports bars, drinking and watching college football. As we sat there we befriended two guys drinking next […]

A very rude and obnoxious passenger was on my flight and he made it hell. My girlfriend and I were returning back to NYC from Singapore going through Heathrow a total of 20+hours, 13hours from Singapore to London. My girlfriend broke her foot while visiting my family over here, and was placed in the bulkhead […]

I have always flown on Southwest Airlines for my travel needs. So when I found out I had to fly on Delta for a business conference, I was not exactly thrilled. Aside from having to pay for my luggage (yes, even carry-ons), I never really cared for their hospitality. I was flying from Tampa, FL […]

I was flying from Anchorage to Seattle in 2003. The plane had maybe 30 people on it, so there was at least one row per person. I was in row 9, against the right window. Just before we pushed back from the gate, I overheard a bit of a commotion in row 6, the bulkhead […]

In one of my trans-Atlantic voyages to Europe, I had the joy of sitting next to an expert in languages. I don’t remember the layout of the plane, but I normally take a window seat so I can sleep against the window so I am not completely zonked when I land in Amsterdam. I get […]

I was on an overnight flight from Newark, USA to Copenhagen, Denmark. The flight left around 5 PM US time, and was expected to land around 7 AM Danish time. We flew SAS, and were served dinner and complimentary cocktails. Well, the 2 young gentlemen somewhere behind me took quite an advantage of the cocktails, […]

I had a terrifying experience on a Continental flight from Houston to Honolulu on January 21/09. I was seated beside a man who was obviously not from the US – he was rude and kept pushing my arm off the armrest, and then told me he was stronger than me and he would prove it. […]

I’m surprised this one never showed up on the news! On February 22, 2010, on United Flight 651 from Chicago’s O’Hare Airport en route to San Diego, the flight was diverted to Las Vegas. Why? Because of one passenger displaying unique symptoms of mental distress that included screaming at the top of her lungs for […]

A year or so ago as my family was taking our annual Hawaii trip, we ran into a fellow who was very very unfriendly. As we boarded the plane in Phoenix Sky Harbor, I thought it would be a relatively tame flight. I was wrong… Now my Dad is a good guy, but as far […]

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. […]

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…
