Most ridiculous reason for flight delay
Posted on 8/7/14 at 8:14 pm

Mine was today...
I just waited a half hour after landing because a swarm of honey bees had formed on the end of the skybridge...
we had to wait until another airplane left so there would be an empty gate to pull up to....
have to say, it was kind of fun sitting there watching the runway workers trying to figure out what to do...every now and then one of the would get chased around the tarmac by a bee...
What is the most ridiculous thing that has ever caused one of your flights to be delayed or canceled?...

We had pulled away from the gate and a tornado was approaching, had to sit on the runway and wait it out.

If someone got stung they would sue. Dumbass lawsuits are killing this country.

I shite you not, I had a delay once because they were having trouble restocking the plane with drinks and snacks....

honestly thought you were at MSY when I read title. I might have you beat-- I'm stuck at MSY right now because the captain crushed his hand adjusting his seat. This happened while we were on the ground, after everyone had loaded, waiting to push back. Now, for some reason, THE PLANE is out of service and we are waiting for a new plane and captain and will be delayed at least two hours. I understand why the captain can't fly (attendant said he almost severed two of his fingers) by why the bloody hell can't the plane fly?

Where was this?
That would never happen at ATL. That place is more equipped than most cities

Pilot couldn't pay his $120 bar tab before the flight

My flight from Dallas to Chicago was delayed for 2 1/2 hours because the plane wouldn't start. We changed planes and the captain said "hopefully it works this time" as we took off

battery was dead. 7 hours for delta to get one from atl to jackson ms. Guess somebody listen to the radio to long without cranking it.

I was on delay in SoCal waiting to fly back home to San Francisco and asked why we were waiting...it's foggy in SF. I wanted to punch that bitch, it was Friday after a long business travel week. No shite bitch. fricking foggy in SF. Walked back to bar and bought everyone shots and we all toasted the fog.

The "check engine" light came on.

Not really crazy but some frick threw up on the plane before leaving. It was from ATL to Nashville which is about a 34 min flight. We were delayed 45 min.

I waited an hour and a half for a bag of ice.
We could have been in New Orleans in that hour and a half and I would have drank anything room temperature just to be at my destination.

Pilot was drinking so flight was cancelled

Pilot couldn't find the keys

It was cold, seriously like -19 in Casper, WY in February, and the plane wouldn't crank.

Had to wait for the de-icing crew one time.... At MSY.
Had to wait for lazy arse ramp workers to show up at BTR before we could park.
