My 7pm Friday flight turned into a 3pm Saturday flight from a totally different airport. American, of course.

Seriously, why do people try and discourage people from posting interesting stories?

Sounds awful

You should smoke some weed.

You said it yourself you fly max 8 times a year… there’s people that do/have done that in a month. And I can assure you your experience doesn’t top the list of nightmare flights.

You had an annoying flight, definitely not an air travel nightmare sheesh…

You treat this site like Facebook and that’s not a bad thing - but if you’re going to do it expect and embrace the blowback. Go play with your toys.

I normally stick to flying Delta as I usually have an overall good experience and I like their SkyMiles program. But on this trip I went American because their flight times worked better for my schedule.

Lesson learned.

Dude, just shut the frick up. Again, if you don’t like the thread, then skip it. It’s quite easy to do. There’s tons of threads on here I check out, see they don’t interest me, and I simply go back and find one that does. You should try it.

I hate flying for these reasons. I flew to Phoenix recently, the guy in front of me soaked himself in Polo Blue cologne. Three of hours of that left me with a headache and that smell stuck in my nose all day.

FWIW, I flew American on this trip. I won’t be making that mistake again. If Delta can’t get me there, I’ll drive.


They all have issues. I fly American a good bit and I flew United last trip, had a horrible trip. I know people that will only fly United.

I’ve always been a Delta guy but, I’m
Not flying to Atlanta to go west, I just can’t make myself do it.

Small USB powered fan- Amazon

Very similar to the one I have. Battery lasts long on a charge with 3 levels of speed and folds up to not take up much space .
