Venus Williams flew American Airlines to Canada, but American sent her bags to the Bahamas. When she was supposed to be preparing for a tennis match, she was instead focused as her “full time job day and night” for three days calling the airline, hoping to get her bags back. She really doesn’t have people to do that for her?
A comedian named Cindy Arena was traveling with her four and six year old kids and they weren’t seated together. She asked another woman to switch seats so she could sit with her kids. The woman said no. Her right, but…
That meant the mom wasn’t with the kids, and this woman who wouldn’t change was seated next to them instead. One of the kids was four! Hijinks are going to ensue!
Kine-Chan, an OnlyFans model, was denied boarding while leaving Navegantes in southern Brazil. She was wearing a costume resembling Rebecca from Netflix’s “Cyberpunk: Edgerunners,” which is apparently a thing.
Philadelphia rapper Gillie Da King, formerly Gillie Da Kid, was denied check-in by American Airlines in Madrid. His party of four passengers, flying business class, missed the check-in time and they get into an argument – they were at the airport before the cutoff, but weren’t checked in.
The staffer tells the rapper, an AAdvantage Executive Platinum member, “I don’t want to talk to you” and threatens to call the police.
When inner rage hits and there’s just nothing to do with it except let it out, I suppose this is more productive than taking it out on someone else.
A passenger whose flight was cancelled does just that – lets it out – by acting first as though she’s possessed, and then turning to interpretive dance to express herself. We’ve all been there, amiright?
A United Airlines flight attendant parent-shamed business class passengers on a delayed Delhi – Newark flight, after their special needs three year old woke up nine hours into the journey. The crewmember chastised the passengers for their lack of parenting when the boy was hungry (United didn’t board his child meal) and the mother had to improvise for food and tend to the kid at the same time.
A United Airlines top tier ‘1K’ status member was threated with the ‘no fly list’ by a United Airlines flight attendant after eating a plate of manicotti on board. The passenger shared the crazy story that happened on Thursday’s flight 1372 from Denver to Seattle.
Airlines around the world are installing doors on their business class seats to create a sense of privacy for customers. The doors aren’t usually very tall, and someone walking down the aisle could look in on you. But seeing fewer people around you feels more private.
But it doesn’t have to cost thousands of dollars to create a sense of solitude on a long flight. One passenger on board an Airbus A340 set up a tent around their economy seat.
Delta Air Lines flight 2432 from Atlanta to New Orleans turned to chaos on Wednesday shortly before landing as a passenger put a flight attendant in a chokehold and threated to decapitate her with broken glass that he held against her neck.
The passenger had been bleeding from his neck and cab crew sought medical assistance before he grabbed one of the crew. He’d reportedly cut his own neck.
A passenger on Southwest Airlines flight 239 from Denver to Des Moines was reportedly seen texting a woman named Samantha – who wasn’t his wife – by another passenger. Earlier in the text streams they exchanged goodbyes and I love you’s. And then there was this:
