Few years ago 10 hour flight San Francisco London a guy so fat sat next to me he took half of my seat. They couldn't get a table that fitted so they put the food tray on his belly from which it crashed onto the floor. Flight was full so there was nowhere else to go for me. I just felt sick of his sweat and blubber constantly touching me. Worst flight ever.

I think the worst flight I've ever had was from Rhodesia to South Africa in a Douglas DC3 (otherwise known as the Dakota). Not only was it a very old plane but we hit a thunderstorm during the flight and the plane got struck by lightning causing it to suddenly drop a few thousand feet which in turn caused a lot of screaming, apart from my little sister who thought it was great, better than a rollercoaster! Oh yeah, then there was the Air Nepal flight, quite smelly after being on the go for 20 odd hours...“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Once did a test flight where we were offered the option of a stick push. I hate flying. Everyone else wanted it. One of the worst moments of my life.
I must ask my valet what commercial flight is like. Any self-respecting contractor gets a charter.Comment

Originally posted by Wilmslow View PostComing back from the French apartment back from Girona last night. Most of the passengers were on a package holiday, it was like something of a sitcom - crew ran out of seatbelt extenders trying to get the slimmest of the chubsters to free up the extenders for those who would prevent the take-off from happening....
Well, old-aged muppet next to me refuses to lower the arm-rest as he is squarely in half of my seat. His wife was pretty large so instead of squashing up to her he takes over my seat. He turned psychotic punched me in the ribs and kicking my leg rubgy ruck style. Crew were good, took me to the galley, tried to get matey boy to move but he refused to obey their command, so put me to another seat and kept me supplied with gratis gin and tonic all flight. Crew are making a flight report, I really hope that the airline take their own action to the loon.
I felt like I was in filming for Airport 3......Comment
