A passenger once boarded a flight where there was a really unruly and drunk fellow traveler. This person was shouting, using foul language, and being generally aggressive towards other passengers. The crew tried to control him, but they were not very successful. The poor passengers around him had to endure this bad behavior throughout the flight, and it made their journey extremely unpleasant.
Delays are very common. Airlines often overbook, and when that happens, passengers can be bumped off flights even if they had valid tickets. Another common element is bad behavior from other passengers, like being drunk or just plain rude.
I was on a flight where the food made me really sick. I think it was something wrong with the meal preparation. I spent most of the flight in the bathroom feeling nauseous. It was a horrible experience.
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.
One horror story is about a passenger who had a severe allergic reaction during the flight. The flight crew didn't seem well - prepared for such an emergency. They took a long time to find the epinephrine auto - injector. By the time they did, the passenger was in a really bad state. It was a terrifying experience for everyone on board.
I heard that on a Spirit Airlines flight, there were problems with the in - flight amenities. The air conditioning wasn't working properly, and it was really hot inside the cabin. Passengers were sweating and complaining, but the crew didn't seem to be able to fix it quickly. Additionally, there have been stories of hidden fees. A customer thought they got a cheap flight deal, but then they were hit with all kinds of extra fees for things like carry - on bags and seat selection that they weren't fully aware of in advance.
One horror story is about long flight delays. Passengers were stuck on the plane for hours without proper updates or assistance. They were left sitting in uncomfortable seats, thirsty and hungry as the airline failed to provide timely refreshments.
Delays are very common. Airlines often overbook flights, and then when too many people show up, some passengers are bumped off the flight at the last minute. It's a horrible feeling for those who have planned their trips carefully.
One horror story is when a flight got severely delayed for over 10 hours due to technical issues. Passengers were stuck in the airport with no proper communication from the airline. We had to wait around, and there was hardly any food provided. It was a total nightmare.
I heard of a case where the airline lost a passenger's luggage which had all their important documents and medications. They had to go through a lot of hassle to get things sorted at their destination. It took days to get their luggage back, if at all. And the airline wasn't very helpful initially, just giving them the run - around.
