Turbulence, then rude passengers. Once, on a flight from Phoenix to NY, the people behind me were eating curried broccoli. The whole plane stunk, I'm surprised no one jumped out! When they overheard me ask the stewardess what the stench was, they were very rude and arrogant about it. It really smelled like to bathroom exhaust fan had been routed to the overhead vents. Geez! Then she took her shoes off and we had to smell that, too.
Americans who whine just about everything during a flight. The seat's too narrow, the flight is too long, the food is too bad etc. I LOVE flying. But whenever I hear someone speak English next to me on a flight, I expect it will be another crybaby from the US.
Sure because all American's are alike, just like all Germans are alike.
Especially when you depend on someone else to drive
I'd rather take a taxi or Uber. Friends & Family---no way! no one can see to figure out the plane will leave without you if you're not there on time! Just the stress of getting there with someone dragging their a$$---tell them you need to be there at least 2 hours prior to flight departure to check in and they say oh, you're just worrying too much, then proceed to take the longest, most indirect route, stop to pick up their kids, drop off their dry cleaning, etc, etc----this isn't a damn bus you're catching! I resort to telling people my flight leaves earlier than it does just to get there with any time to board! I don't need them to park and come in with me, just drop me off----oh, I'll kee you company, we can say goodbye----look, I'm coming back in a few days
I just build in the price of a taxi when traveling by air, its easier than dragging someone with me just to drop me off!

all i can say is that you have never sat next to me on a flight.
People who sit next to me on a long flight without anything to read, watch, or work on. I am friendly and don't mind a little chit chat, but I do not want to spend hours talking to a stranger on a plane, especially when I am travelling for work.

If someone starts chatting with you tell them you are a life insurance salesperson. Learn just enough of the jargon to be convincing.
Well, unlike driving a car, if it falls - you ARE dead. That's why I fly only if there is no other option.
I am also 6'5 and very broad shouldered. Nuff said.
