Terrible Flight Experiences (Vanity)

[Maximus of Texas]

On the flight home this morning, I was unfortunate enough to have a bleeder sit next to me. By bleeder, I mean he was invading my space because he was large and his body was spilling over into my seat. I've seen worse cases than what I had today but let's hear your experiences.

We could line up like they did in "Airplane"

**LOL**

Man, oh man, that is a bad one. I know its easier said than done but I would have demanded a refund or at least had them pay for your seat since they used it.

Raise your hand if you have ever been on a third world country flight?

Does Kazakhstan count? I flew on the plane behind me in the background. Notice the state of the art baggage handling system.

[Millee]

That is horrid. Did you ask the flight attendant to move you?

[PaulaB]

Ya that counts ;)

ROFL

My question on the flight with the chickens was
how can any human (woman) wear a berka covered from head to toe in 200 degree heat, live chickens everywhere, with nothing to drink???

All I could come up with is that I had actually stepped into the twilight zone

Full plane. This was also the flight where my bag showed up the day I had to fly out of Tampa. Never did receive any compensation for any of the problems I encountered with this airline. Fortunately, they're now out of business....

I had to sit next to two libs once who were just returning from Europe. Appearantly, they lived by the "When in Rome" philosophy on their travels. They both smelled so bad, I was actually ill be the end of the flight. Luckily it was only a couple of hours.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "I'd hit that!"

PaulaB dear, I think we'd better keep our drunken debauchery to ourselves, the natives are getting restless!

Mr G flew from Nashville to Cinci, to Vienna, to Moscow to Vienna to Moscow to Tompsk (middle of freaking nowhere in Russia).
The round trip to Vienna was courtesy of the man taking him to Russia, who had neglected to get a visa for Russia. (What did he know.... he didn't read Russian) Of course, the minute the plane was in the air on the way back to Vienna, the visa showed up, so they turned right around in Vienna and headed back.

The flights in Russia scared him so bad he will never return to the country. However, on the way back, he swears Sandy Berger was on the same plane (mid Clinton term).

....."if you are seated next to a child, or someone acting like a child, please place your mask on first, then assist them......"

[fanfan]

Did it ever get you kicked off a plane?

In Newfoundland?

Like me?

I'm sure you do, since you're the one who spammed them. I'm not sure anyone else loves them.

Acouple of Months ago on the return flight from Vegas The guy next to me spilled his whole can of Bud into my lap. Had to sit there for 4 hours with wet smelly pants.

Coming across the pond with a tired 6 year old and a 1 year old travelling on my lap, (9hr flight). I soon became aware that my little one needed changing. I couldn't leave my 6 year old alone, so all three of us ended up in the bathroom? (If you can call it that), while I changed a smelly diaper. Not fun I can assure you! LOL
