Well here I sit, stuck in Chicago due to a cancelled flight! It won’t be so bad if things work out tomorrow as advertised. But for about 2 hours tonight, it was chaotic. First the OJ through O’Hare to reach my gate only to find they had cancelled my flight. No more flights out tonight. Had to cancel, hotel, car, re-do air, hotel, and car in different cities. Well its not so bad, but as the years add up, so do the stories of airplane and airport fiascos. I’ve landed in Cleveland with the runway lined with emergency vehicles due to our plane having inoperative flaps. The woman next to me squeezing the life out of my arm in fear. I’ve had smoke in the cabin a couple of times, took off in a downpour in Ft. Lauderdale only to drop about 100 feet once airborne. Oversold flights, 3 hour waits on the tarmac in Philly, etc, etc.
What is your worst airport/airplane experience? Mine is below.
