Raven

Every single time I fly, I swear there is a sign over my head....to search the middle aged redhead...hold her in Customs...seat her next to an obnoxious snoring smelly person....

It doesn't matter if I'm in first class or coach....

They've taken away my ability to be calm and relaxed...and everyone knows how much psychic energy it takes to assist the pilot during take offs and landings.

The movies are lame. The flight attendants are not very nice, depending on the airline..and the food is not fit for human consumption.

What pisses you off?

the part i hate the most is taking a 45 min flight from LA to Vegas and waiting at the airport for an hour and a half for a cab or a limo.

hate the fact that security measures are in place that would really not prevent anyone bent on doing harm, but they just annoy those of us trying to get somewhere.

Even worse are the asshats that hold the line up because they don't realize that their head needs to be out of their ass, like their laptop from their bag, or etc....

I guess i just hate travel days in general, cramped planes, loud kids, reclined seats, they seem like a wasted day after getting to the airport an hour and a half early and waiting for your luggage...ugh.

Airports with security people who throw my laptop around like it's a box of broken glass. Or who tell me to take my shoes off. They should bloody well have good enough sensors to find explosives in running shoes, m'kay? And proof of a laptop not being a bomb is NOT the ability of that laptop to turn on! When they do stuff like that, it is SUCH a WASTE OF TIME. Do the swab like they do at YVR. Then at least it looks like you're actually testing for explosives. Don't just peer at it and declare it safe.

And for goodness' sake, don't grunt at me. Smile and say please and thank you, and try to make it a better day for everyone. Just because you're working for minimum wage doesn't mean you have to take it out on everyone.

The queue at Customs at LAX.

Hopeless.

I rarely fly, yet even I know it is SOP. As far as throwing laptops around, I have never had anyone even touch mine. Don't you just place it on the belt yourself, or is this a Canadian thing?

Jace

absolutely nothing, I always get a window seat and if the person next to me is annoying I let them know

I have a laptop for movies and an ipod for music

I am usually pretty content on flights

abadfish

The only thing that bugs me is that I'm not flying the plane! I'm jealous of the pilots...

I never get extra searched, I always get rides a head of time, I get the seat I want, frequent flyer miles... bring my laptop and ipod and usually have a great experience, but I love flying.

After much thought the thing that pisses me off the most is sitting on the tarmac for hours in the Phoenix sun, with no airconditioning and the knowledge that my laptop's battery isn't going to allow me to watch DVD's for the entire wait.

Elli

Nope, only certain airports and airlines do the shoe removal thing.

And the Canadians never touch my laptop. I have to open it and show it to them and then put it away. The workers at FLL or LAX or Dallas, though, have been very rough with it, throwing around the grey box I've carefully placed it in to go down the belt. One time they shoved it extra hard to get it further down the belt after the machine, and I had to catch it before it fell off the end!

not being able to stand up (even for the bathroom) the 1st half hour leaving national airport in DC or the last half hour arriving at national airport in DC...i know it's because of terrorism, but it still pisses me off

ronaldo

Pretty much the only thing for me is coming back home through Canadian customs.

EroticySteve

Airlines that can't keep a schedule for weather and say that it's not their fault and that they have no obligation to accomodate you except to get you on the next plane.

That's like skidding on an icy road and running into a bustop of people and then saying, "oh my bad, but it's cool cause it's not my fault just the weather. Gotta go. Crappy luck huh?"

I'm pissed off that I'm paying good money to sit in first class seats that are smaller than what coach seats used to be and I'm eating food that's worse than what coach food used to be I make sure to get as many free drinks when I'm flying somewhere I don't need to drive away from though

DWB

There is an unwritten universal rule that all children / babies must sit behind me and kick my chair the entire flight an all international flights.

Peaches

OK, funny true story about taking shoes off:

I was coming home from Orange County (which is my favorite airport after living in ATL - it's SO easy to get in and out of!!). I knew I was going to have to take my shoes off - if not at security, then during the 4.5 hour flight, and I didn't want stinky feet and only had foot power.

Apparently I overestimated how much foot powder I'd really need.....when I took off my shoes at security, there was about an inch at the bottom of each shoe. "It's foot powder, I promise!". Thankfully I don't look like the average cocaine dealer......

I hate sitting there in the throngs putting my shoes back on, so I walked a bit away towards the gate. Then a fellow passenger pointed out the lovely "footprints" I had following me from security to where I, the obvious culprit, was sitting Damn OC airport and their dark colored carpet! I hope someone vacuumed it up quickly.......

Elli

What? When you're on the plane? I've been able to wander right up to when they start the descent.

Not on DC flights - at least that's the way it was when I flew there and back a couple of months ago.

SquireMD

i know that flights in and out of national fly almost OVER the pentagon, so i see their point about risk and all that...but when nature calls, nature calls...

i'm not sure about flights at dulles airport though...

maybe elli got special privileges because she's ...well...cuter than i am

WiredGuy

The fact that I have to come about 2 hours prior to departure (or 3 hours for the USA) and just sit there and wait. Half the time the flight is just as long as the wait for the flight.

That's easy...

When the headrest comes off in first class and our Technical Director has to go to extreme measures to put it back on.

Hmm...what just happened here? Oh the headrest came off...thought we were in first class...


Let's take a look at what can be done here...


Pushing it back on might work...


Let's see what's inside...


OK, this is hopeless...


Let's just leave. On second thought, that might be a bad idea at 11,241 feet...


sidenote: When Air India says 'first class'....they dont really mean it.
(believe me air india wasn't our first choice, this was after missing our connection on our way back from Vegas and ALL other airlines were booked. There were 2 more people on first class...coincidence? i think not...)

The flight attendants made up for it, though... (Prepare for tilting of head to the left)

I just did that flight this morning. Now LV to LA not so bad but I always get stuck in the Vegas airport delays etc especially when I need a connecting flight. It never fails I am there for hours.

Nothing really

PimpDaddyPants

looks like a good flight hehe i would have just switched to the other side though

Fresh

yuup, vegas airport sucks. When me and Just_Dave were comin back from internext, we were in line to go thru the metal detectors or whatever and the whole airport had a big fuckin blackout!!! ALL the lights went out. We had to wait another 30 mins for them to reboot the xray machines.

EroticySteve

Continuing. I conclude that the weather is their problem and they don't need to make it my problem.

Frankly I don't care if the chance of a plane crashing increases by a factor of 100, you're not going to crash it. Get it off the ground, get me to where I need to be. Either that or make my flight completely free.

Take responsiblity airlines.

Juilan...and the vodka is so cheap, it takes the enamel off my teeth.

Dave Guru....that's about the only part that doesn't piss me off; but, we use a car service and they have, so far, been wonderful.

sfera....yeah, what's up with the shoes? A bunch of fetishists that work for TSA?

smack..that is the worst. Flying makes me nervous. Smoking calms my nerves. Why on earth would airlines want a human stuck in a sardine can with nowhere to vent...so they drink and get belligerent. Give us the back of the plane again and put up a vapor barrier or something.

Wizzo. They have my number it seems...I may sound like a terrorist when I haven't smoked in 14 hours, but shit. I'm 5'2", small and old. As if they couldn't take me down in about two seconds. And, the inexperienced traveler is the worst. It's not as if some moron isn't standing around like a human recording, telling you what to do before you get to the head of the line...

Gabriel....LOL....have we met yet? Travel days absolutely suck.....and Euro flights want you there at least two hours in advance....

rinaldo...I guess I haven't experienced that one yet...I'll take your word for it.

andr...those five thirty am flights are a bitch, aren't they?

baddog..is that because they are busy keeping the plane up in the air?

Elli, I've not had that happen to a laptop yet..I'd be in a murdering mood if they treated my laptop badly....
You're right. Their demeanour sucks.

Swippy. Had my bags emptied coming back from Amsterdam.....two hours it took them to search ..and they asked some of the most moronic questions..like why is the Nordstrom tag still on the shirt? Wtf do they care? Nordies is in the US which means I bought it here....

Lindsay....the queue in Seattle did me like the anal probe in Canada did us.

Jace, normally I have a window seat....but on the puddle jumpers, invariably I am stuck in the middle.

I'm flying with you next time, abadfish...maybe you'll bring me luck.

thinkx....oh, Lord, yes...and people who bring small children, in general..without providing them with anything to do and just let them wail.

SquireMD....I guess it makes sense to pee before boarding, eh?

Never had a problem entering the US from Canada...ronaldo..it's entering Canada from the US...

Eroticy Steve....when America West said running out of deicing fluid in Seattle was an act of G'd....we fought them for keeping us piled up in Phoenix for three days....as if. Snow and ice are an act of G'd...being unprepared when Southwest and American had plenty of de icing fluid is just stupidity.

Peaches..it doesn't matter which class I fly. It's all the same..although the attendants will give me liquids before take off....nice touch.

DirtyWhiteBoy..you and I seem to have that same unwritten rule...


WG...you're right. I sit around, not able to smoke....for hours....and then I watch others running down the hall way at the last minute....

Mickey....funny pic.

Viper2K1:
You and I lead parallel lives.

AIR3K...Have you crashed? or is it just the thought of it?

swedguy, you're entirely too perky about flying.

one more thing i forgot about...

I hate the fact that i need to go through the entire process of getting into the airport if i want to smoke 1 fucking cig! I need to leave the airport, smoke, and then wait in line to go through the detectors, shoes off, belt off, pull your forskin back and lets see whats under there. FUCK! just let me have a smoke.

ok im done.

lol, that sounds to me like they've got hidden cameras capturing people's reactions somewhere.

Airport security shits me, and the that shits me the most is that it's horribly ineffective.

Here's a list of what I've sailed through customs with before.
1) Going down to sydney, i forgot to clean out my bag before I went. Security Xrayed my bag, pulled me aside, slightly incredulous, and told me to take the needle nose pliers out, and my wooden chopsticks (japanese, so sharp to a point). They took the pliers, wanted to take the chopsticks, but I refused, so they let me on the flight.
Two things come out of that - a) If you're going to refuse and item, refuse it.. don't back down, and b) They missed the 25 scalpel blades in my bag.

2) France to London, 1 week after the train attack. I'd had a 6" knife in my backpack that we'd used to prepare meals. I forgot about it, walked straight through security, xrayed my bag, picked it up, and kept going.

3) American customs. Complete bullshit. Two fingerprints and a mug shot? Fuck you. I'm not even on record in Australia. TSA (or whatever it is) chopping padlocks off suitcases and NOT RESEALING THEM. And the very, very rude attendants. If you recall on the immigration cards, you have to say yes / no to their little questionaire (no, I am not here to sell drugs, etc).
They've got a box under those checkpoints to sign.. I didn't sign, as I thought it was only if you'd ticked yes, so presented it to the attentdant, who didn't even look at me, slid it back and said: "Fill out the form correctly".
I told her that I was quite sure that I had.. she graced me with half a second of annoyed eye contact and said: The form is in proper ENGLISH. Fill out the form.

Bah. The flights themselves I enjoy :D

The dry air and not being able to smoke, most of all.

And this half-assed sleep you get when flying international,bah...
You get to your destination and already feel powered-out.

What makes it worse is when I fly international, there is no time to sleep or rest. We go out to lunch, drink wine, and it's business from the time I land until I board the plane to go home...doesn't matter how long I'm there....lots to cover when we live on two different continents..it's a wonder I survive my
Euro trips...hell, even the shows are like that in the states...non stop...

Sleep? Not when there are screaming babies...stinky diapers and tired flight attendants...
