What was the worst flight you've ever been on?

Question

My worst flight was back on Thursday, January 20th, 2000, when i was 8. It was from Minneapolis (MSP) to Orlando (MCO), on Northwest Airlines. The aircraft was a DC-10, and i was in seat 19D. What made this my worst flight is that i became very motion sick during the flight, and i ended up vomiting while we were disembarking. And it happened quickly, so i didn't get it in a barf bag.
That was my worst flight, but i'm sure other poeple have ahd much worse experiences. I'll choose the worst flight as the best answer.

Answer 1

I got seated in the very back of the plane, next to the bathrooms, the window seat, but no window, and it was near the engines. I couldn't hear anything the entire flight because of the roar, I could even listen to my cd player cause of the noise! I was sitting next to an old lady that wanted to talk the entire flight, but I couldn't hear.
I ended up getting two ear infections and a throat infection off of the plane because of recycled air and someone was sick on the plane.

stupid flight. ruined my vacation cause I got sick

Answer 2

I was on an American Airilnes 727 in 1993 flying back to LAX from Tallahassee, FL. I was on an award ticket and got to the airport early. I asked the agent if I could get out earlier and he confirmed me Tallahasse-Nashville-Dallas-LAX. The Nashville-Dallas flight was the flight. It was a 727 and I was seated in the back of the plane near the engines (for those of you not familiar with a 727, it had 3 tail-mounted engines that were pretty loud). I was in a middle seat and there were children and babies all around me that were screaming, crying, and otherwise being loud. Then on top of everything else there was en-route weather at some parts of the flight that created turbulence-- which of course scared the kids and they cried louder. Great flight. Not.

Answer 3

Due to work having to fly in a cargo plane as cargo. We had to sit in jump seats with our knees up against the cargo (crates, shipping containers, our luggage etc). Once the pilots turned off the seat belt sign (yep it did have two) everybody scrambled to get a place to sleep on the cargo. The steady drone of the 4 prop engines and the swaying of the plane really didn't make for a nice flight. Our in flight "meal" was a box lunch, really a lunch in a cardboard box and the washroom facilities were best left unsaid.

Answer 4

It was just a concidence.
I was in Las Vegas and transfer in Chicago on a home bound flight. It was days after Hurricane Katrina, and flights were still out of cue. We waited two hours plus in chicago for the transfer. Then got on the plan and sat on the run way for another two hours. Finally got home to Jersey.
usually a 6 hour flight. This trip took almost 12 hours that time.
But again it was from the Hurricane messing up flight plans.

Answer 5

My worst flight was when I was coming back from Israel to go back t o Los Angeles on a 15 hour flight. I had gotten really sick the day before the flight. I had to get up really early in the morning to catch the flight meanwhile feeling just terrible inside, along with the sickness I was really going to miss my family in Israel. SO it was a mixture of Sadness. Sickness, and that typical bad feeling when you sit n economy on a long international flight.

It was terrible, Sad, Sick, economy class, 15 hours!!

I'm REALLY happy that flight is over!!

sincerely

1971, flyign back from my Grandmothers funeral. It was storming and raining very heavy. The plain was bouncing all over the place and we couldn't leave our seats. When we touched down, there was so much rain that the plane slid off the end of the runway and onto the dirt. They managed to get it turned and used the engines to get it moving back onto the runway. Never forgot that flight.

Answer 7

OK this happened in 1998 we were going from America to London by KLM airlines. My brother was 9 and my sister was only 7. She wanted to go to the bathroom before the flight we told her to wait until we reach the flight. Without us knowing my brother took my sister to the bathroom and he wanted to open the door but he couldn't suddenly he kicked the door and it seemed to be the pilots door. The pilot was so scared but he started laughing after my brother told him "Oh it's not the bathroom so i guess you have to wait until we reach London". Everyone in the first class started laughing + the pilot.

I can't forget this day.
