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 a few years ago with my family and for some reason Dad wasn’t able to reserve seats for us near each other. I was sitting behind my little brother, who was eight at the time, and the FA seats a little girl next to him who was about the same age. After […]

I am a large man. I am 6’2″ tall and weigh approximately 380lbs (however, if I weighed about 280 lbs, I would look fairly normal, to illustrate my size). Anyway, I am sitting on the window aisle and we are probably about 20 minutes into a 90 minute flight. I am sitting at a window […]

My family flew to Vienna with Austrian Airlines. Two of our luggages were 1 kg overweight. The flight attendant, Susan, who was checking us in, decided to start screaming at us about how we obviously can’t read because the maximum amount of kilograms permitted is 23. My mom proceeded to start emptying her hand bag […]

My wife and I went on a Caribbean Cruise, and took a nonstop flight back home, Puerto Rico to Los Angeles, on American Airlines. On this return flight, we encountered one of the BATTIEST flight crews around. It started in the airport. First off, they neglected to do any pre-boarding. We saw this poor old […]

I am wondering how often flight attendants see incidents like the one I experienced last week ? I sat next to an attractive woman for an 8 hour flight. We are both married. We shared some drinks and wound up falling asleep cuddling in each others arms and holding hands, for the rest of the […]

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 […]

I was traveling alone from Atlanta to San Francisco. I don’t typically travel alone so I don’t often have to deal with sitting next to strangers on the plane, but here I am in the waiting area to board the plane and I see an obese man come over and sit down as well. I […]

I was traveling with my two year old from Denver to Toronto. When we got to ticketing they put us in seats eleven rows apart, and said sorry we can’t do anything, you will have to talk to the stewardess. As we boarded I took up the same conversation with the stewardess, who told me […]

I had 2 flights from hell oddly enough only a few weeks apart in NOV-DEC 2002. On the November flight, I was a passenger on a Southwest flight from Columbus, Ohio to Chicago-Midway airport. I had flown this route many times before and it is usually only about a 50 minute trip. On this particular […]

In the summer of ’96 on a trip from BOS to CHI, our flight had been canceled a few hours before scheduled take-off due to supposed mechanical problems. I later learned that AA often canceled this particular flight to condense passengers into other planes when their seats weren’t very full, and “mechanical issues” bought them […]

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, […]
