Hmm, I wonder what flight attendents can do to punish people in-flight, because 'I'm going to have to ask you to leave wouldn't work to well' If there were fines then things like this wouldn't be as bad. I do think that if someone is fat enough to annoy the person next to them, as in take up their space, they should be charged the other seat. I know they do that, but they need to tighten down on it. As for kids, muzzles should be given if they are too loud.
I don't like flying and i went from the age of 2 to 13 without flying. I then took a flight from Manchester NH to Orlando on southwest. Worst part of the flight, My 1 year old brother shat him self mid flight, had to smell it the rest of the way,at least he wasn't crying

Remember that if you bring your own parachute, Southwest will allow you to eject one passenger at your selection. Bring two and you get a free special order meal.

Statistically your much safer on an airplane than driving down the street. I used to hate flying as well but seeing how my dad works for southwest (lol free rides :D) It doesn't bother me anymore because of how much I've flown over the years.
[QUOTE=IdentityErr;16139753]So the story goes like this: I'm waiting for my plane to leave at 6:55PM from Buffalo International Airport. Now I am in no way afraid of flying, but something happened a few days prior to my departure that got me a little nervous. The plane I flew in on from Orlando International had to make a emergency landing 5 days later because part of the roof peeled off during flight. Awesome.
So I get to the airport at around 2:30. Arrive two hours early for security right? Not a single fucking person there. No lines, no wait, nothing. So I arrived 4 hours early for no reason. So I get thirsty waiting at my gate and I go to buy a mountain dew. Cost me $2.50. What a rip. The lady who rang up my purchase is named Katrina. Interesting.
So after a few hours of watching planes take off and clouds move by, my plane begins to board. The entire plane is full. Not oversold, but full. Meaning everyone gets a buddy to sit next to right? Well I was almost fortunate to have a skinny guy sit next to me, but since we're at maximum capacity, I get the nice fat lady. "Woo-hoo" I exclaim.
Now I like to sit in the back of the plane (behind the wing) because I feel it's more comfortable. But this time, all the kids and parents decide to sit in the back thinking the same thing. I have this bratty 5 year old behind me, kicking my seat, throwing shit, singing hannah montana songs (this is a boy singing) and I plug my iPod in and fall asleep. "Battery low" it speaks. Great.
So kids are crying, flight attendants trying their best to quell the madness (any flight attendants out there, I give major props to your work) and everything is continually going down the shitter. So we start to make our decent an hour later. What does the kid behind me shout? "Mommy! We're going down! Look mommy it's like we're crashing!" Real fuckin' smart kid. I mean who better to start a panic?
We land, I get my baggage and I head home for some much needed rest.
Those who are too lazy to read: The flight sucked. The kids were crying. Horrible experience with Southwest Airlines.
My life is average.[/QUOTE]
Fix't.
We've had some pretty bad experiences once or twice, nothing that was the airlines fault.
We tried 6 continuous days trying to make it to England on stand by, one day we flew to Detriot thinking are chances where better. All the stand by's in Minneapolis got on but in Detroit where we flew to none did. after that we just said "fuck it" and booked on a flight to San Diego that was leaving in an hour :v:
all the flights are similar to yours, don't be nagging about it, grow some balls

What?
Getting on a plane on Aug 6 to Las Vegas, I don't give a fuck.
[QUOTE=IdentityErr;16139843]I know it's not their fault. But they are getting tons of shit about the safety of the planes.
And I can't drink. I'm 17 (well soon to be).[/QUOTE]
It's actually up to the pilot if you can drink or not in air, same thing on a boat, it's up to the capitan.
Only thing is with major airlines they have a company policy to not allow that, while the smaller ones leave it up to the pilots.
Wasn't really the airline's fault, just the face that they had a ton of annoying kids. It's not like you were perfect when you were little and it sounds like the whole thing could of been a lot worse like when that kid said "It's like we're crashing" well everyone could of gone around crazy, the plane could of been stuck on the runway waiting for police to come. Things could of been a lot worse, your experience just seems like it was a slightly shitty flight.
Where i live noisy people get
warnings :smug:
the middle of the airplane, right over the wing, is safer than the back
example: watch the pilot episode of "lost"
Moral of the story: Don't fly Economy/Coach.

We don't see any footage of the crash until the second episode. Fail.

I didn't say it was there fault. I just said it was a shitty experience. And when the kid said "It's like were crashing" other kids started to panic and cry. And I didn't fly until the age of 8. I was escorted everywhere by U.S. Airways. I didn't bitch or moan because there was no reason to lol. And yes, things could have been worse. Like Skippys experience.

Kinda hard not fly Economy/Coach when Southwest doesn't have anything better.

Wut.
Your flight was only an hour or so.... I had to fly 15 god damned hours to get to China from Texas.

My flight time was 2 hours 25 minutes. I fast forwarded to the end because I was asleep for about 30-40 minutes of it.

I had a horrible experience with them, not because of them.
Oh wow. I'm just glad you didn't get stuck on the tarmac due to bad weather or something.
I remember my first (and last) vacation I took. Back in 2004. Flying Indipendance Air. They don't exist anymore. But they had a route from Nashville to Washington D.C.
They flew these modified Learjets. You know. Budget flying.
Anyway, the flight there wasn't bad. The flight back was. We hit two air pockets. First one going up. The 2nd one going down. This was my first flight too. And I got a fear of looking down and falling.
It took like a half an hour to go from Nashville to Washington D.C, where it would've taken hours if we drove there.
Same thing happened to me, some little fucker kept kicking my goddamn seat, and snother time there was a huge fatass behind me so I couldn't lean my chair back.
Word to the wise, don't sit in the back. Families tend to book flights later and thus have seats farther back, increasing the chance of having little pricks in the back, at least in my experience.
Always try to sit as far front as possible, you get off earlier, avoid kids, and, if the plane has it's engines mounted on the fuselage, avoid roaring engine noises that make it impossible to talk or hear.
