A very bad flight experience

June 10th, 2005 at 9:23 am by David Farrar

If you think you ever had a bad flight, you should read this letter of complaint..

It’s a small pdf, but very amusing with both the pictures and text.

(Some can not get the link to work properly, so once can also access it through Snopes.)

    DPF, pretty unusual even by your standards – a non-existent page, and you don’t mention that 67.19.222.106 is the Urban Legends site snopes.com. Their whole travel section seems to have gone. Wassup?

    I suspect that the site has prevent hotlinking from other sites – the idea being that you make your own copy and host it on your site. NZ webhosts don’t make you pay for bandwidth but USA sites do so zillions of people viewing the PDF doc could cost the site owner considerably.

    Other airline stories…
    ========================
    On one 12 hour flight with my 18month old son I got given the middle 2 seats in a group of 4 and the guys sitting on the aisle weren’t about to stop. After doing one of my many laps of the plane I returned to find the 2 men asleep over our seats so I was left with hyperactive kid and no seats. Yay!

    Same trip but this time my husband and 3 year old daughter at LAX waiting for a connection to San Diego to be told that his plane leaves shortly and our daughters an hour later. He pointed out that it was appropriate for her to travel alone. They hadn’t picked up on that!
