What's the worst experience you have ever had in a plane ?

Question

Whether on the Ground or in the Air.......

Some great bad stories Folks!
Mine is bad too. I sad in a plane awaiting take-off for 9 yes 9 hours while the Air Traffic Controlers and the BA People tried to come to an agreement about overtime rates! The we took off.
As we had lost out route, we had to go by a circuitous route to Martinique 12hrs. Then when we arrived I had a bumpy 3hr drive to my Hotel....Ugh.

Answer 1

Airline lost my luggage for over 2 months when I went to Italy. PS I live in California.

I spent the whole time in Florence with no change of clothes or frankly anything.

******* Air France.....

Same trip: We got to France and were supposed to connect to a plane to Florence (me and 15 other students). We ended up getting there and staring at the bus to the plane as it parked outside the gate. The guy would not let us on even though our teacher was on the bus and it was 5 feet away and sat there for 10 minutes. The flight was on the ground for over two hours half empty and they would not let us on.

They also would not let our teacher get off the flight so we were left behind with no guide or teacher.

We ended up getting redirected twice before getting to Florence a day later after sleeping in the airport.

On the way home our flight was delayed which made us miss the next flight along with 600 other people delayed at the same airport and others due to bad weather. The line for a new ticket literally took over 8 hours and we were towards the front! We ended up having to stay the night in a hotel and go out the next morning (flight again delayed due to a broken down truck.) was again redirected four times. Didn't get home for another week.

I feel bad for the people towards the end of that line. They must have been there for two or three days (just in line).

Fun times. Meanwhile my luggage is still missing.

You can find out more about natural hemorrhoids cure here http://curehemorrhoid.info
Diarrhea can contribute to hemorrhoid formation because the bowel undergoes pressure strains due to the condition. Undue pressure on the veins that make up internal hemorrhoidal structures can worsen existing damage. Internal hemorrhoids are not visible, unless they proplapse (protrude) from the anus, either constantly or during a bowel movement. If this is the case, then you have a grade III or IV internal hemorrhoid. If the protrusion is on the anal verge or the area surrounding the anus, then its likely an external hemorrhoid. Reducing pressure from issues of diarrhea and constipation will help. Not straining during a bowel movement, not lifting heavy objects, not sitting for extended periods, all will help.

An external hemorrhoid is simply a vein located at the anal verge, the wall of which as weakened and protruded. Don't push on it, this will only increase pressure and worsen it. The body has to repair the vein wall and rebuild the integrity. This takes time, perhaps weeks, if all goes well. Use sitz baths and over-the-counter medications such as pads or creams to provide symptom relief in the interim. These won't solve the issue long term, but will give the tissue a better chance at self-healing.

Internal hemorrhoids are a different matter and require more intervention. Your best bet is to educate yourself about the condition, its causes and what options there are to treat it both short and long term. Don't ignore it though, hemorrhoids tend to become chronic in nature, lasting years or decades in some cases.

I love this question! My worst experience was in 99 going to Colorado. Our flight was fine. We had a layover in Detroit. Our lanind felt really funny that day and rough. My 9 year son at the time had looked out the window and we were sourrounded by every kind of emergency vehicle you could think of. Our plan had blown 2 tires in the landing gear upon landing. We were miserable! We had to sit on that plane on the runway for almost 2 hours while they tried to decide how to get us off the plane. They kept going back and forth from the emergency shute in the back or taxing the plane to the terminal. They would line us up then make us sit down. I had my 2 oldest sons with me a 9 year old and a baby with me. Not an expiereince I will ever forget. They told us if they taxied the plane to the terminal the plane could tip and then explode with us on it. They ended up putting a truck under each wing of the plane and taxing the plane to the terminal. We were glad to get off of that plane!

Answer 4

Kenya Airways - a Focker Something, we shared the flight with 8 goats 10 chickens several dogs 4 monkeys and a cow (no that wasnt the stewardess) not to mention 5 very warlike masaii warriors complete with spears, and yes this was on the passenger deck i dread to think what was in the cargo hold,

Not too sure the pilot had ever actually flown a plane before, he seemed to think the more he actually bounced the plane down the runway the more chance he had of getting off the ground and to this day I am sure he had his eyes closed when we landed.....

Answer 5

I've been pretty lucky really for how much I have travelled. The worst general experience was flying from New Orleans to LA. There was a thunder storm right before takeoff and we were grounded for four hours. I had taken a sleeping pill on boarding and fell asleep on my tray table as soon as I sat down. When I woke up we still hadn't taken off and I was stuck with a sleeping pill hangover for the actual flight.

Answer 6

The worst experience I have ever had on a plane was when I lost my passport between paying my exit fees out of Samoa at the counter in the airport and queuing to board my flight. Although it is illegal to knowingly let a passenger depart without proper authority to enter the arriving country, the agent let me board the flight. Upon arrival to Australia, however, I had no visa or legal rights to enter the country. It was a very long day with customs.

Answer 7

A 9.5 hour flight in a 767. A 2 - 4 - 2 seat configuration.

I asked the checkin lady if she could please give me an emergency row seat. I was so pleased when she did, although she seemed to be in a cranky mood.

It was an aisle seat with one empty window seat beside me (no middle seat). Unfortunately there was a lavatory across the aisle from me, but I figured it was a small price to pay for the extra leg room.

I wondered if I would be so lucky as to get the window seat as well. All the passengers had loaded but we hadn't pulled back from the gate. I figured I couldn't be so lucky, since the plane was otherwise totally full. They must be processing the few standby passengers.

Then... she came in! A woman who must have weighed no less than 400 pounds. She had crutches to help keep walk with all that weight. My hair was standing on end as I watched her coming towards me. I knew my fate.

She took her seat beside me (and half of mine) and asked the hostess for one of those seat belt extentions. I didn't know they existed, and I've been a frequent flyer for ten years.

Although I wanted to sympathize with her own discomfort, my discomfort was agonizing. I was basically forced to lean WAY out into the aisle on one cheek of my butt. I actually ended up with a hemorrhoid!

Then the flight got under way. Mealtime came about an hour into the flight. My tray was in my armrest, because of the emergency exit row I was in. It was absolutely impossible to use, since a hundred pounds of the woman beside me were hanging over the opposite armrest. I had to go hungry.

Once the meal was over and the movie started, there were plenty of people who needed to use the lavatory. They queued up for it. It lasted the entire duration of the flight. I had my HEAD in the aisle.

The flight was Air Canada, which only has a few tv's shared among several rows. The queing farters continuously bumped their butts into my head as they tried to position themselves better to see the tv in the cabin in front of me.

9.5 hours of torture.

Answer 8

Hemorrhoids, also known as piles are swollen veins around the anal opening or the anal canal. They can be painful and linger on for a long time causing distress. Fortunately, there are a number of home remedies that are as effective and provides fast relief https://tr.im/l83GG

The main symptoms include bleeding during the bowel movement and itching. The first thing that people do to cure hemorrhoids is get an OTC medication, without knowing their possible side effects.

Answer 9

Was taking off and suddenly remembered I hadn't seen my keys for the entire trip. As plane was taking off, I began frantically searching through my purse. I was dizzy, etc. then experienced motion sickness...luckily not until I got off the plane tho.

Answer 10

Not so much worst but thought funny.
Whilst travelling and they had shown movie but was not enough time for another so they showed the first episode of 'LOST'.
Highly inappropriate for those with fear of flying!!! TEE HEE HEE
