I hate flying. So every single flight.
But especially the ones with little kids kicking my chair.

SLC flying into Jackson Hole. Terrible turbulance the whole way. Several on plane threw up. About 1,000 feet off the ground, the pilot pulls up due to another plane being on the runway. Scary as hell and everyone who wasn't sick before got sick.

Weekend of food poisoning then I had to fly back home (still sick) after being delayed 2 hours because a huge fatty shite all over the back of the plane.

2 bad ones in memory.
First, a wing hit the ground landing in Houston from Cancun. Was scary as shite. Captain was a woman
Second, we hit an air pocket (I think thats what pilot said) flying from Atlanta to Denver. Dropped rapidly and oxygen masks dropped and emergency lights flashed. It was over in under 5 seconds and we were fine and stable, but people were saying Hail Mary's and shite. Terrifying.

Oh and single prop from Charlottesville to Knoxville for an LSU/UT game way back in the day with my dad.
Went through a mild storm and it felt like a 50 year storm. I was 12 or so and it took everything to hold in my tears and I had flown my entire life on all sorts of planes. I remember seeing my dad losing his shite and he flies every week and that made it way worse.

Direct flight from Memphis to New York. About 2.5hrs into the flight the pilot puts the plane into a 30 degree dive for about 3 minutes. Never came over and said a word about why he did it.
Scared the crap out of me.

Houston to BR. Sat on the tarmac for 2 hours because of lightning.

Flying from Charleston AB to Joint Base Balad, Iraq. Missed my son's first birthday, first steps, first words, etc. On top of that, the flight itself was just uncomfortable as hell.

Any American Airlines flight I have ever taken except one.

On the way to Iwakuni in a 747 chartered by the military - an engine ate itself over the North Pacific. Flames shoot of the engine and the plane immediately banks and starts circling while the crew figures out what to do.

DC -> Rome 2013
Plane was from the early 90's. Seats were like lawn chairs, TV screens literally had tracking lines like an old VCR and were smaller than my iphone, and you had like 4 channels and could't select shite.
Also it was completely 100% booked and filled.
ETA: Best Flight - Numerous on a Hawker 800XP, like this:
Best would be NOLA Lakefront -> Saint Marten, FWI

Just had it over July 4th weekend. Two kids under 5 behind us, one toddler across the aisle. All were loud and whiny all flight. Kid kept kicking out seat backs.
Weather was a little iffy flying into St. Lake, so the flight was also pretty turbulent on approach.
Miserable.

BTR to Guam was over 21 hours on 3 flights each way. That was rough in coach.

Tallin to Krakow in winter. Bad ice everywhere and strong winds. Went to land touched down on the back wheels and pilot realized something was wrong so as soon as the back wheels touched, he gunned it right back up and we bounced off the runway into the steepest spiral climb I have ever seen on a commercial plane. Baggage fell all over, masks came down, it was a frightening mess.
Flew a holding pattern for another two hours, then made another attempt in which we landed hard and slid/were blown all over the place.
I developed a small fear of flying for a while after that one.
