Bad Flights

    Flying can be stressful and hectic but for me personally I love it. A couple weeks ago I was flying to Seattle out of Philadelphia. It was a straight flight that was suppose to be six hours long. I have never been on a plane for six hours, usually I have layovers somewhere. I enjoy layovers because you get off the plane and can move around, perhaps get some food or a drink. So for this straight flight I was a bit nervous that I would get super antsy and be crowed since you never know who you will be sitting next to. Hurricane Arthur was coming to down the day I left but I figured I could get out before it hit since it wasn't a late flight. Everyone boarded the flight and we took off for the runway only to be stopped from taking off. Apparently there was a bunch of lightening around and our flight was grounded. We waited for TWO HOURS on the runway before we were able to take off. I couldn't wait to land after being on the plane for eight hours. I heard on the news that a pilot at the airport bought everyone on the flight pizza! Wish that was my flight! When we got to Seattle we had to wait another 10-15 minutes because there was an abandoned catering cart at the gate we were suppose to go.

    Yesterday I flew from Philadelphia to Greenville, SC. I had a quick layover in Atlanta where I got my connecting flight to Greenville. My flight to Greenville was amazing! It was really short and I did not have anyone sitting next to me since the flight was pretty empty. I was not so lucky for the first flight. I had the window seat which is always nice but I had this heavyset lady who was sitting next to me. Her body was touching mine the whole time especially when she fell asleep. When she was sleeping she was leaning on me more and I was so cramped up next to the window. She eventually woke up and moved over a little bit so I decide to take a little nap to help the trip go by faster. I closed my eyes as my seatmate called the flight attendants over. She then asked for some ginger ale and something else. The flight attendant came back over with her drink, pretzels, and a bag. The flight attendant told her the bag was bigger than the barf bag in the seat pocket. Yup my seatmate was feeing nauseous. She kept coughing and everything it was awful.

    I have been having some bad luck on flights. Have you had an extremely bad flight? Share your story so we can all commiserate together!
