Im not lying…at least beer, I have not ordered wine but when I found out and started asking for a beer on occasion on these flights it was the time they announced they were serving complimentary beer and wine. Ever since that time, even when they dont announce, I ask for beer…and I get beer. But maybe the 100 year old lady flight attendants on US airways do like me…
why do people stand up immediately when the plane gets to the terminal? You know you are going to get to your destination at the same time whether or not you stand right?
Yeah I just chill and check messages on my phone or continue reading my book until nearly everyone has gotten out. Sometimes I just get in the zone with a book and don’t worry about the time.
But, I do distinctly remember one time when this was different. I was on a late plane to Miami (it was domestic to international). I think the connection was Miami to Lima or something like that. But, I booked the tickets on two different airline companies —one to Miami and the other ticket was a different purchase and airline. I told the flight attendants and they were like no its fine the tickets are connected they will hold you or put you on the next flight. I told them it was a different airline. They were like oh. We got a map of the airport and found out I had to change terminals too upon landing. I was a bit stressed as I had like a 10 min window to make an international flight to Lima (ending in Buenos Aires) in a different terminal. I was going to have to run. Not only that, but I needed to be the first guy out when they opened the door. The flight attendants were really nice and moved my one bag up to the front in the bottom of those suit closet things before landing. They said after landing when they unstrapped that I could get upfront and wait at the door. I went to the front and this attendant was giving me a countdown (liike 10 min , 5 min). She gave me the look and I knew where I needed to go in the airport terminal and literally had 15 min to other plane closing doors and got there in 10 min. I thought I was out of luck when I hit the gate because the door was closed. I was like I have a seat on this plane - is the plane door shut yet? She said no - asked on her comm if they could let me on (I only had a carry on bag) and she opened the door. I was so happy - that was such a pain in the … But, sitting in my seat I finally settled down and was really grateful for the flight attendants that helped me out. If I had waited for everyone to get out first when sitting in the back, I would have definitely missed this international flight.
Yo, Analti…what was that about a long post you mentioned on Page 1 of this thread?
I just meant OP’s first post was quite lengthy. That doesn’t rule out how lengthy my posts often become. I kind of just type and rant/rave at various times.
I hate it when pilots lock out fellow pilots out of the cockpit only to decide to crash the plane.
Flying sucks but suck it up. You probably do some annoying shit that you’re not aware of OP.
I’m getting sick of these Annoying People on planes posts but the real problem is the airlines cramming everyone into a space so small that we begin to notice people’s annoying habits.
My worst flight ever was from China back to Europe. Had an old granny next to me who did the proper China-spit routine, including the long hard snort, the resonant pre-spit gathering and of course the drawn out spew into a tiny cup. Best part is she did that the entire flight and collected everything in that tiny paper cup which she kept on the tray. Put my ipod on “hearing damage” and tried to ignore the routine. Of course she was aisle and I was window. After the flight I went over her seat and under the tray very very carefully…
aaaaand thennnnnn
Snakes on planes. Those are annoying
Private Jet Nigaz.
Private Jet Nigaz annoy you?
Not all habits but just general annoyances: That the airlines inundate you commercials prior to letting you use the on board TV. That they must review the safety standards everytime. That the pilot has to interrupt my TV with his worthless weather, airspeed and altitude comments. Babies. Couples who take the aisle and window seat and see no problem with this. Fat people who are too big for one seat and force you to give up some of your space. People who don’t wear deodorant. People who take take your bag out and move it further down the aisle to another overheard bin. So so many more, but I have to turn off my cell phone now because of these outdated FAA rules as I am off to NYC…
Do they not offer you one or the other if you end up between them? My wife and I used to book the aisle and window all the time in hopes that the middle seat would remain empty and we would get the entire row. If someone ended up between us, we would offer them the aisle seat instead. No one ever seemed to be upset about an unexpected move from the middle to the aisle.
you mad bro?
Couple of times now where they didn’t offer and I asked if they wanted to move… no dice. I feel like I should carry a fiber bar of some sort to threaten retaliation.
Once, I was on a long haul flight and my whole row was miraculously empty. So, I thought great, I can lay down and have a nap. Then this huge lady came from somewhere else on the plane and sat in my aisle seat.
The next time that happens, you should say something like “You both dislike the middle seat more than you like each other? Wow, interesting.” and just let that hang out there for the entire flight.
FTFY
