Parents flying Delta first class from Tampa to Atlanta allowed their child to place stickers all over the seating area around them – and leave it that way. After all, they probably had a connection to catch!

A United Airlines passenger was supposed to fly from New York LaGuardia to Chicago O’Hare on Friday but couldn’t because their ticket got used by someone else first.

A Delta Air Lines elite passenger received a rare first class upgrade – but 15 minutes later was sent back to coach in order to give their seat up front to a dog instead. The airline told the customer that the dog was a service animal, and there’s “nothing they can do.”

Two passengers on Argentinian ultra-low cost carrier Flybondi are dancing – not in the aisles or at their seats, but on other passengers’ seats, standing up and using the overhead bins to keep themselves upright.
