| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Oct. 00  | Ugh, just got in last night from Tokyo after a 40 something hour plane trip (I was traveling in Asia with my girlfriend and my parents over the past three weeks). The flight normally takes 18 hours or so. But noooooo, United Airlines feels that its OK to quickly re-arrange the path of your plane trip 2 hours before you take off I flew from Tokyo to Alaska to San Francisco to Chicago and then FINALLY GOT TO NEW YORK. Didn't even sleep a fucking drop. Anyone else here have some type of plane trip horror story? By the way Seph- It was nice to see you so many times, but after a while I got the feeling you were stalking me. I mean, I must of seen you 3,000,000,000 times.  I'm still saved.... Tune in next week for Gooch's creative works on my status! | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | ahh airplane horror stories..i have way too many of them. I was in Turkey three years ago, the day before i was supposed to come home, earthquake. i'm talking HUGE earthquake. the airport got all messed up, and we ended up having to stay another 4 days on flight standby trying to get on a plane, because they pretty much cancelled all flights in and out of istanbul. I spent the better part of four days sitting in the airport in istanbul trying to get on a plane. my worst flying experience: i was flying to mexico with my family. we hit "invisible turbulence" and the plane dropped straight down about 500 feet....no warning no nothing, just vertical drop. i was sure the plane was gonna crash and we were all dead. my father was standing up at the time, ended up with a broken arm in 3 places. worst part: they had just given out the food....there was shitty plane food everywhere on everybody - not pretty.  Too much from the wounded But I see, See through it all See through, And see you. | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Aug. 00 | Last summer we went to Myrtle Beach. Our flight back home left at 6 am and the airport was about 45 minutes from our condo. We got to the airport a half an hour before the flight left, but my woman had suntan oil leaking in her carry on. Security fucking detained us until 5:45 and then we find out that our plane has fucking left early without us! I went to try and find a flight out of there, and the best I could do is fucking first class from South Carolina that cost us $2,000.00 for a fucking one way flight! God damn airlines are raping the world with their prices. Why fucking bother "Think before you write" - Froy E-Mail Me | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Sep. 00 | Fez, you know that you usually do fly over British Columbia or Alaska when you go direct from New York to Japan. It's because the Earth is curved, that curved path is actually shorter than a "straight" line. It messes with your head when you think about it. --Edit-- Oh, wait, you mean your flight wasn't direct. That just means the airline was being a cock master. I once had to wait in Atlanta when they decided my flight couldn't fly from Orlando to Newark. We spent a few hours there, never being able to sleep since we didn't know when we'd have to get up and get on the plane.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Just one little tip for you Fez. Walking down a street in Tokyo and Screaming "Jesus Christ, look at all the fucking gooks!" is generally considered bad etiqutte. Remember what i told you in that seedy Kareoke bar near the Great Wall of China: "Xiou ling Wang xieous kim kwan lao".

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00 | When i went to Florida during spring break we were sitting in the plane for about 2 and a half hours because they couldn't find the piolet. Every 15 mins i rang the bell for the flight attendent asking her if they checked the airport bar. Consequently, i think she spit in my dinner. | ||||

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Feb. 01 | I was flying out to Italy, from Newark to Rome. The plane we were supposed to take was to meet us en-route from Houston. Supposed to be a 7 o' clock flight... no big deal... except that someone radioed Houston to say that Newark was experiencing thunder & lightning storms, but of course there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The plane wound up being delayed to the point where we didn't board until after midnight, and didn't take off until close to 1 am. I waited 5 hours in the terminal, but that isn't where my horror ended. The lady I was sitting next to decided it would be a good idea to let a baby sit on her lap for a 7 & 1/2 hour flight. For 7 1/2 hours I could not get a wink of sleep. For the entire length of the trip, all the little pile of whining baby fat did was kick me and scream. It was pure hell, I wanted to take my fork and stab the mindless twat mother in the temple. Is my train in vain, has my soul gone to waste Am I just a victim of, a victim of my lost faith | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | I have a million horror stories, but it seemed that my Guam trip had the most bad luck. First off, i inadvertintely saved 300 peoples lives. We boarded our plane in biloxi,MS, and flew to Hawaii. So far, so good. We get off the plane and hang out in an empty terminal while they refuel the plane for the rest of the trip. As we're walking back out to the plane and start up the stairs, i notice a metallic rattle coming from one of the engines. I poked my head into the cockpit and mentioned it to the pilot. He said it was nothing, not to worry. Two minutes after i buckle my seat belt, we're told theres a mechanical problem, and we get back off the plane. Seems the socket from a ratchet had fallen into the engine. If the plane would have taken off, that socket would have tore the shit out of the engine. Then, 6 months later, 2 days before we were supposed to fly back to the states, that korean airliner crashed on guam, and i had the the dubious distinction of working the crash site, building temporary morgues and clearing the terrain for rescuers. Yech.  God loves you.it's everyone else that thinks you're an asshole. Posting regularly,yet still a lowly lurker. "I dont WANT the retarded snotty-fries" | ||||
