filth

I unintentionally started something in 2011 when I posted some gross photos of hotel filth to my Facebook page. The response was revulsion, but Car Crash kind of revulsion. People couldn’t look away. So, the next time I saw something – and it didn’t take long – I posted it. Same response. And then… people started […]

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.

I’m so happy to find this wonderful website, Flights From Hell, stories and commentary by people who matter the least to the airline industry, the passengers. I fly to Asia on a regular basis and am still mourning the loss of Thai airways direct flight to Bangkok from New York’s JFK. It’s amazing to note […]

A couple of years ago, my husband and I got caught in traffic on the way to Dulles airport and missed our flight to Amsterdam. A wonderful UA employee fixed us up on a later flight through London and even kept us in our originally booked business class. Getting to London was fine. It was […]

I was on a red eye from San Fran to Hartford. The plane was packed but I happened to have the only row that wasn’t full (or so I thought). As the gentleman 2 seats next to me and I looked at each other, happy that we wouldn’t be 3 across for a red eye, […]
