Once, a friend of mine was on a flight and the person next to him fell asleep and started snoring really loudly. It was so bad that it sounded like a chainsaw. Everyone around was giving annoyed looks, but the snorer just wouldn't wake up. It made for a really long and 'horrible' flight in a funny way.
Once, I was on a flight and there was a really loud snorer in the seat next to me. It was so bad that I could barely sleep during the whole flight. Every time I almost dozed off, the snoring would startle me awake again. It was like a never - ending nightmare of noise.
A lady brought a large hat on the plane. When she tried to put it in the overhead compartment, it got stuck and she had to pull really hard. As she did, all the stuff in the compartment started falling out. Papers and small bags were everywhere. She was so flustered but the whole scene was quite comical.
A friend of mine was on a flight and the person in front of him reclined their seat all the way back suddenly, smashing his laptop that was on the tray table. It was a total mess and there was a big argument between them. The flight attendants had to step in to calm things down.
My colleague was rushing to catch his flight. He had a big suitcase and was running through the airport. But as he was running, the handle of his suitcase broke off. He had to stop and deal with that mess. In the end, he missed his flight. He still laughs about it now, especially when he remembers how ridiculous he must have looked trying to run with a broken - suitcase.
I heard about a guy who overslept in the airport hotel. He had set multiple alarms, but his phone died during the night. He rushed to the gate only to see the plane leaving without him. He then had to scramble to rebook his flight while dealing with the embarrassment of missing it in such a silly way.
Once I was on a flight and there was a sudden violent turbulence. It felt like the plane was dropping out of the sky. People were screaming and things were falling from the overhead compartments. It was terrifying and lasted for what seemed like an eternity.
Well, a lot of flight attendants talk about horror stories related to turbulence. There have been times when turbulence hits so suddenly and severely that flight attendants and passengers are thrown around. Also, there are horror stories about lost luggage. Sometimes the luggage handling system messes up and passengers blame the flight attendants even though it's not really their fault.
There was a flight where there was a strange smell coming from the ventilation system. It smelled like something was burning. Passengers were very worried about a possible fire on the plane. The crew tried to reassure them but they couldn't figure out the source of the smell for a long time. Everyone was on edge until the smell finally dissipated.
I once had a flight delay that was a total nightmare. I was supposed to catch a connecting flight. The initial flight got delayed by five hours. By the time I reached the connecting airport, my next flight had already left. I had to wait for another 12 hours for the next available flight. I was so tired and frustrated, and all the plans for the day at my destination were ruined.
