Once when I flew from NYC to London, I was seated next to a drunk, 40 year old man who literally kept pawing me. Think, in a drunken slur, "Whash your name? How oldsh are you? Are you married?" while constantly patting my arm. I was sixteen, people, and completely grossed out.

When he finally offered to trade 4 camels for me, that was the last straw. I got up to change seats and he literally smacked my butt. I turned around and punched him in the eye and startled the other passengers sitting near us into screams. Airline stewardesses came rushing over and I threw a fit until they seated my sister (14 at the time) and I in our own row. We had 5 seats to ourselves all the way to London.

In two weeks, I will be flying to Japan. :ph34r:

Last Christmas, I was flying home from SF and the flight attendants managed to skip my rown for food and beverage service. Now, I normally hate airplane food, but I was damn hungry that day.

So anyway, I pressed the call flight attendant button. The light turned on and stayed on for the next 2 hours. I was completely ignored and annoyed. I never even got their attention when they passed by.

Afterward I wrote a nasty letter to the airline, but nothing happened.

I guess that's not too bad a story.

The only horror stories is the one that I fantasize of. For example: We're gonna skid off the runway and crash and burn to death! Or: We didn't have enough power taking off and we're gonna crash into the icy waters, go into shock and die of hypothermia! And last but not least is the looking out and seeing a creature on the wing. :lol:

Wow that's a pretty awful story. I guess you completely smashed that "submissive asian female" stereotype :P

I've flown alot, but never had anything near that bad. I've had to sit next to really obese people who overflowed into my private space, and I've lost luggage once, but that's it.

First attempt at the mile high club and gettin caught as soon as I let the ex-gf into the restroom. The stewardess saw my arm when I opened the door and she walked in. :ph34r:

Oh and those damn crying babies that wake you up on long flights! Fucking kids.

I wouldn't recommend the congee though :)

You know, China Air Lines also has the worst safety record of any major airline in the world.

I'll tell you the easiest way to get away with joining the mile-high club. Tell the stewardess that your girlfriend is feeling sick and you need to go with her to help take care of her and make sure she's okay.

this happened to my grandfather. he was an airforce pilot in taiwan and coming back from some sorte. he couldn't get his landing gear to come down. he flew around trying to get it down until he was almost out of fuel and had to land regardless. they called all the emergency personel out and got ready for an explosion. when he hit the ground, he bounced and the gear came down somehow and he ended up fine.

a few days afterwards, his friend had the same problem and died in an explosion while landing.

Yeah it's more of a thing to do to say you did it.

Girl to climax? What's that? :blink: Hehe, j/k.

It might've been like 2-3 minutes but man it seemed like an eternity.

Hmm never felt the urge to join the "club." If it was requested of me, sure, I'll try anything, but sex in public would be a lot more exciting rather than quickie sex in a cramped space.

And babies... yeah, I can't count how many flights I've been on where I wanted to pull the lever on the door and toss a bawling baby out. I remember a flight two years ago where the baby was in the seat across from me. The most disturbing part was that it was an ugly baby and looking right at me.

Now that's got to be annoying!
