A 19 year old woman flying from Las Vegas to New York was assigned a middle seat, and reports she was between two larger passengers who didn’t “fit comfortably into their seats.” She reports their shoulders and thighs were “on top of” hers. And after an hour and a half of this she got up and discretely asked a flight attendant if she could change to an open seat in another row?

She felt awkward moving her bag from underneath the seat in front of her, but thought the ordeal was over when she moved a few rows back. However at the end of the flight when she deplaned, she found the woman who had been sitting next to her waiting for her at the gate.

A Rochester, New York woman was allowed to avoid jail time after refusing to get off her cell phone, walking to the front of the aircraft and getting into an argument, and spitting on a passenger.

Then, after the American Airlines Chicago O’Hare to Buffalo flight turned around to head back to the gate, she pushed a flight attendant out of the way in order to access an emergency exit – opened the door and slid down the emergency slide.

Airline Passenger Lies Down And Props Their Bare Foot On A Tray Table, ‘This Is Not Your Living Room’

It’s one thing to lie down across a row of seats. It’s another to do it with your shoes and socks off. But it’s something else entirely to prop one of those bare feet up on a try table.

When one airline executive described their new domestic coach cabin – with less legroom, smaller lavatories, and no seat back TVs but faster internet – as a ‘living room experience’ I don’t think this scene from a Seattle – Orange County flight is what they had in mind. You may do this in your own living room, but hopefully not with company over – yet alone in the company of 100 strangers?

Worse Than Bare Feet On The Seats, This Is The Worst Faux Pas In The Air

by Gary Leff

Don’t put your bare feet up on the seats or the bulkhead wall of a plane. And do not drape your hair over the seat back so it’s directly in front of the passenger seated behind you. This is even worse on a cramped regional jet.

The type of aircraft means there’s no seat back entertainment screen, so I suppose that is a saving grace: the hair isn’t covering up the show the passenger in the row behind was watching. But that also means they have nothing to distract themselves from The. Hair.

Airlines will usually be happy to sell you more than one seat for your trip although they really don’t advertise it. One woman, with three seats to herself, felt that wasn’t quite enough and decided to build a fort.

She turned her row in coach into a business class suite with walls, using plastic wrap. She even gave herself a roof while a passenger across the aisle from her filmed the pre-departure construction project.

Large Size Model Demands Wider Aircraft Aisles After Struggling To Make It Through United Business Class

Usually the complaint is that seats aren’t large enough, that people who don’t fit in them have to buy bigger seats in order to fly.

“Big Curvy Olivia” points to a different issue entirely: she says it is discrimination that aircraft aisles are so narrow, and posts video of herself struggling to get through a United Airlines Polaris business class cabin.
