My flight
-
I fly a LOT. I just post about the bad ones. Mostly because I hope people get a laugh out of it. I mean, the dude farted ALL NIGHT. I'm sorry, but if that happened to someone else, I'd think it was hilarious.

That's what we thought at the beginning. I can assure you that by now, almost all the Lounge think you are doomed. :rolleyes:

Did they sell tax-free perfume in the plane ? :)

They did, but I'm not sure how he'd have liked being sprayed by it.

Happens to my girl friend nightly or so I'm told each morning.
Yeah, it happens to me at home, too.

So, QANTAS could not give me an aisle seat. Upgrading me is apparently out of the question nowadays. That's fine. I got stuck next to two old American men who were grouchy whenever I wanted to go to the toilet ( I only asked if the guy on the end went, so I had to only ask one person to move ), and they were the most flatulent people I've ever had to sit next to. Woke me up several times.

No, there were no visible free seats. That was the starting problem. They would have had to upgrade me to get me out of a window seat.

no, just ask your grumpy seat neighbor that you have to go to the bathroom regularly and you don't want to disturb them too much. no need to upgrade class, just swap... I've done that both ways, swap aisle to window and window to aisle to accomodate fellow travellers.

My friend was flying from Los Angeles to Sydney. He got a seat besides Kim Kadarshian. He had to wake up every now and then because there were lot of people requesting for photographs.

The world is full of arse holes. The hostess explained to this guy that he would be arrested when we landed if he didn't calm down. She also pointed out that we were landing in Malaysia and he would most likely spend a few days in a Malaysian gaol.

Wow. I'm really looking forward to my flight to Spain thanks to this. Now granted I'm flying Delta but I believe you're said similar things about them. Then again is there still a company out there that you HAVEN'T had issues with? :-D At least on my flight I will be going with my wife a a bunch of her high school students so the company will be people I know for the most part.

ROTFL !!! Was he in first class, or was she in cattle class ?

Well, they were so grumpy from the start, that I didn't dare suggest it. They heard me tell the stewardess that it was going to be a long flight if I had to sit in the window.

He was on a business trip and so in the first class.

Yeah, if you sit with people you know, that solves a lot of issues. I am not sure I've flown Delta, it's United that was excreble.

No, but I did have a 4 yo sitting in front of me who cried most of the way. I didn't mention that b/c, well, he's 4 years old. He was a cool kid, we played peek a boo and chatted after we landed. I hate people who don't get that people with kids are allowed to travel, and that kids are obviously not geared up to cope well with travel. My kids were fine, but the youngest was 7, so it's hardly the same.

The worst is when you have a 6 week old and a 2 year old as well as the car seat for said 2 year old. For some reason people think they have to wait for you to unpack all of this stuff and follow you down the aisle when exiting. Then they get mad at YOU for holding them up. You think it's easy moving this stuff while standing crammed between my seat and the seat in front of me?! I'm standing out of the way and unhooking all this stuff so you can go around me @#$h!@#. :mad:

If you will sit next to a couple of 'old farts', what else can you expect?

They seemed happy enough to spray you with their tax free perfume, it's only polite to reciprocate

My sister lives in Boston, USA - she weighs 46 stones - sitting next to her on a flight from Gatwick to Boston was not the most pleasant few hours I have ever spent - I wasn't so much sitting next to her as sitting in her.
