I think it would be very uncomfortable to have stomach issues on a flight.
Nothing really stresses me out too much. I don't enjoy the TSA lines. I don't like tight connections at large airports. Used to stress me out when people took so long to get off the plane. They seemed to take their time about it. Now I just pay a little more and sit up front; no problems anymore.
Don't schedule such tight connections you can barely make it from one flight to another without knocking other passengers over
This happened to me, years ago. Everyone was standing, waiting for the door to open, for the stampede. A retired couple--like many retired people who feel somehow "entitled"--came up behind me and literally slammed me into the seat in front of me, knocking the wind out of me. I was standing in the seat area, just behind the seat in front, getting ready to join the herd, when Mr & Mrs Entitled come running down the aisle, slamming me into the seat ahead of me. I yelled out something to the effect of take it easy. They responded, as they continued to run, WE have a flight to meet.
Well, as I made my way down the jetway, I saw Mrs Entitled laying on the floor, her face gray with pain, her leg twisted at a sickening angle, and paramedics coming down the jetway. I overheard someone say she caught her heel in a joint in the jetway floor. I laughed out loud. Serves her right! As I continued on my way, broken rib and all. I really did have a hairline rib fracture which I had evaluated when I reached my destination. I should have sued the airline, but didn't want the hassle, I had full medical, WTH
If you mean flying as in the time when you are actually in the air then it is the gross bathroom. I used to dehydrate myself so that I don't need to use them but on long flights it isn't healthy. They are inevitably disgusting!
All of the other things are also annoying but part of the experience. My least faves are sitting next to someone who spills over into my seat, people who kick the back of my seat, long flights with no food service, stinky seatmates, farting/coughing/sneezing (one time I was the cougher so I understand that this is not on purpose), rude flight attendants, not having the window and people who keep getting stuff from the overhead compartment.
If we include the whole flying experience then TSA wins, hands down! No contest!
Ignorant passengers who cant wait for the sign to take their seatbelt off to get in the way waiting for the toilet... surely they cant be bursting in such a short time , all they do is harrass the cabin crew by getting in their way.. the same people usually also cant wait to jam the aisle to look for something mundane from their overhead luggage.. they drive me insane.... The other thing is the gabby passenger on her or his own sitting beside me who need to talk.. and talk and talk.... that drives me mental.. I just want a quiet flight with not hassles.. I dont annoy anyone and dont want to be annoyed either.... the other things is perfumes on planes.. it makes me ill..
Yep. We live 40 minutes from the Houston Intercontinental Airport on easy traffic days, and sometimes the drive to the airport is nearly as long as our flight
Not being the person flying that aircraft. (Not an unusual situation, pilots make lousy passengers the same way doctors make lousy patients.)
Last week, Dallas to Dulles, a new reason to dislike air travel: The shortage of overhead bin space (MD-80) meant Group 3 boarding passengers who were located up in the front of the cabin found space in the rear (taking that space from Group 4 pax) so when the flight ended there were a number of passengers "swimming upstream" to get their bags. It took 20 minutes for me, in row 28, to get off the aircraft. Good thing Dulles was my final stop. Sharp contrast to the RJ I took from here to DFW... we were full, yet fully deplaned in less than two minutes. Reason: RJ had such limited carry-on space that passengers were forced to check their bags.
