Respects to that flight attendant for saving our strawberry boi's sanity!
Man some people are so inconsiderate of others... That stewardess really saved the day
My worst flight experience: I was flying from Denver to Atlanta and had the middle seat. The woman next to me in the window seat ordered a bloody-mary and ended up spilling it all over me and herself. The smell of tomato juice was infused into my clothes by the time we arrived.
This is a story of one of the best flight experiences i ever had! So i was flying back home to Australia where i would get a connecting flight from Melbourne to Adelaide. So the flight I was on was from Hong Kong to Melbourne and this is before covid. I was a wide body plane so i was in the middle section of seats and people were supposed to come sit in the same row as me....they never made the flight so i had the entire row to myself and i could sleep. and i slept for so long I missed breakfast.
Lol nice, I know that a few people during the pandemic managed to get on entirely empty flights just for themselves lol, talk about first class, that must have been like having a whole big private jet and crew JUST for you.
Thank heck the flight attendant was on the ball there for ya. That had to be maddening!
Just seeing how many stories Majira has is so wonderful, just being able to kick back and listen to what stories Majira has to share is an amazing feeling
EVERY worst flight I've ever had, ALWAYS involves children. I pay for the free wifi and always have my ear phones because no matter where I sit, if there is a child on the flight, they cry or scream so loud it feels closer than it actually is. and I need to drown out the noise.
I remember going on one flight where this dude got on the plane and went straight into the toilet, he must have been really ill because he would NOT come out xD The flight attendants were desperately trying to get him to come out and sit in a seat so the plane could take off but eventually they just let him stay in there for take off
He didn’t leave the toilet for the entire 2 hour flight, and worse still the smell began to fill the front of the cabin which made the already hot and cramped flight borderline unbearable
I’ve never got off a plane so fast, that seatbelt sign went off and I was GONE I don’t know what that guy ate but holy fuck xD
Did the cabin crew manage to get him out of the toilets? Hope he hadn't decided to stay on the toilet while flushing it lol.
Surprisingly if you do this in the air, it constitutes an emergency landing, because of how the toilets are vacuum pumped ones, if you do this, you are literally glued to the toilet seat until you land.
But yeah, I hope he was okay and that whatever happened to him was sorted out, as gross as I can imagine it must have been.
Alitalia the plane number 4598 coming from Rome and directed to Melbourne will arrive with 2 hours of delay cause a guy who doesn't leave the toilet
We apologize for the inconvenience
@@tobywolfie1936 never heard about this. Did you know the sign “ lavatory” can be lifted, and you can open the door from the other side. I tried and it lifted LOL
This wasn't a bad flight experience, but I was on a flight with an old woman a few rows back from me who complained a bunch about having to wear a face mask, then she started signing quite loudly, then she started smoking...
When the plane landed she was arrested. It was honestly a fascinating experience.
Yup, smoking is a no-no on flights these days, I think it's been illegal since the 70's-80's iirc.
@@tobywolfie1936 Man, it was illegal even before 9/11?
i was legit jumpscared at the beginning lol
That sucks, I've never flown, but praise that flight attendant.
i remember when i made a fan edit of you and you responded
That lady was just damn plain rude MAJIRA for just reaching over you like that
Yeah, I'm surprised that none of the couple wanted to switch seats for convenience, but sometimes people are people I guess lol.
I think this couple tried the "you take aisle, you take window" trick so that there's a chance they can get all 3 seats to themselves. My friends often do this and are quite successful.
My friends were a bit smarter because they'd check the seats online often so they can change once they see someone was assigned in the middle of them.
This couple was just rude, they should've just switch with Majira since their plan didn't work. I mean, c'mon passing around your baby when someone is in the middle? Isn't it common sense?
Yeah, booking the window and aisle seat is a common strategy, but I've never heard of not switching if someone is in the middle. That couple is ridiculous.
LAUREN HAS SPOKE
I mean, technically, their refusal to compromise even once on the flight did eventually get them the 3rd seat if that was what they wanted. Absolutely apauling behaviour, but it did work out for them, which unfortunately will probably encourage them to behave the same way again in the future.
Somewhere out there this couple are probably smugly telling the story of the time they had a flight work out way better than they expected due to their clever manipulation tactics!
I think it’s funnier to imagine this story with Majira being in a fursuit on the plane and no one acknowledging it 😂
I was on a flight between Atlanta and Salt Lake. Before the flight I was in a car with three people vaping, each with a different flavor. I didn't realize that my cloths had absorbed the combined fragrances until I boarded the flight. I was stuck in the middle of the middle between two strangers. The lady next to me pulled her shirt up over her face while giving me the side eye. Omg, do I stink? I thought. This made me incredibly self conscious during the entire flight.
I’m lucky that on my most recent trip, they had me sit in isle seats for all my flights.
I haven’t had a crazy bad experience, but in the peak first wave of the pandemic I had to fly and the person next to me was NOT wearing a mask and I saw several others wearing them on their chins and below their noses 🤦
Yeah, wearing a mask under your chin or leaving your nose out, kinda defeats the purpose of the masks lol.
Interestingly enough, the cabin air inside the aircraft is constantly recycled via the air conditioning, which is powered by the engines. So clean, filtered air is pumped into the cabin, while the dirty air is sucked out of the cabin.
I can't stand kids normally,let alone on a plane! You are a brave man sir....
Bro little kids can be a pain
I agree with y'all kids are so annoying they all drive me nuts on the plane just screaming and crying about everything I just can't stand by all these children and that is why l will never have children ever.
I really hate middle seats with a passion. I had it a couple of times when i went to Thailand. And a random guy was tossing around like a maniac for the whole 11 hr flight!
You were lucky that the flight wasn't full!
One of my best/worst flight experiences was flying from New York to Paris to meet up with my dad (I was an unaccompanied minor at the time), and when we were about to land in Paris, there was a thunderstorm, so we had to stop in Brussels for an hour. I remember I was so terrified and I ended up trembling and crying. The flight attendant, however, was the SWEETEST one I've ever met. She let me sit in first class and gave me some amazing chocolate. We eventually arrived in Paris, and we had to wait two hours for my suitcase. I was just so sleepy at that point, that I ended up falling asleep on the waiting bench until my dad got my bag and woke me up later. It was one hell of an experience.
So far my worst flight experience is actually my first ever flight back in February. So for context: I get motion sickness when I ride in vehicles suck as cars and stuff. I can usually prevent myself from getting sick by paying attention to the road (that's also how I don't get car sick while I'm driving), but when you're on a plane, that's not really an option. The first mistake I made was having a footlong chili dog meal from Sonic for breakfast a few hours prior to boarding. I took some Dramamine before boarding the plane and took my mom's advice of chewing gum during take-off, and once the plane lifted up into the air, I was hit with a huge wave of nausea. So I tried to relax in my seat as best I can and drank the water the flight attendants offered to try and ease my sickness. My second mistake was trying to play on my Switch while we were flying. Keeping my head upright and looking straight ahead helped me from feeling worse, so constantly looking down on my console and the flight itself not being the smoothest just made me feel worse. Eventually I felt I was going to vomit, so I got up from my seat and tried to make my way to the bathroom. To spare the details, I didn't make it and the flight attendants pulled me in to the back area for staff that was right behind the bathrooms. I was apologizing to the attendants while I got cleaned up, but they were nice about it and gave me a barf bag once I was ready to get back to my seat.
So uh, yeah, lesson learned: don't eat a huge greasy meal before flying and don't move your head around so much during the flight.
Indeed a valuable lesson, also the Sonic and Chili-dog meal sounds like it would be a great marketing tie in with the character of the famous video games franchise.
But yeah, that sounds like a pretty bad experience. It's good that you were apologetic, and that the cabin crew were understanding and went the extra mile to try and help ya get cleaned up and such. Sometimes cabin crew can be some of the most empathetic peeps.
Coming from someone who no longer has a colon due to UC, I can confirm not to eat anything like that before a flight
One time, I was on a Ryanair flight, to Spain, and there was this woman who was literally acting like an idiot and very rowdy.We had to divert to another airport, it ruined my holiday💀
Oh God not Ryan air, i swear spirit is the Ryan Air of north american also, fun thing is when I was in Europe and went to an event called tankfest and I had gotten a 5.56 bullet necklace, and so we took the train from England to France but after we took a flight from France to Puglia Italy and guess who it was on. . . Ryan Air and I had the necklace on they did not give too craps, but when on American from Puglia Italy to London Heathrow to connect to get back to USA they said please put in your under the plane bags, but warned me it still could be considered a threat so be ready for your name to be called if so and to come out onto the tarmac to open the bag yourself and take it out. I have a couple other stories but this comment is already to long.
That sucks, there is always that one person these days who acts rowdy on aircraft, and whom ruins things for others, very sucky behaviour.
Ngl I'm not a fan of Ryanair personally, knowing how they treat their flight crew, and also how their pilots are known to rather notoriously land fast and hard, but at the same time, from some airports like my local, East Midlands, it's sometimes the only cheap flight-only choice. Push comes to shove sometimes lol.
@@tobywolfie1936 Makes me always think of the memes about Ryan air,
Ryan Air: Do you have any previous experiance flying aircraft or driving large vehicles
Person at Interview: No but I once played Mario Kart
Ryan Air: Perfect your Hired as a Pilot.
I also once had a wierd dream where Spirit Airlines (Ryan Air of North America) Merjed with Ryan Air and It basically caused everyone to go into a panic.
OMG ryanair? are you an irish fur?? i’m an irish fur!
@@nominoodle7760 no I'm not im from AZ USA but I know how awful Ryan air can be.
I have a solution to the parents issue. One gets the middle to the destination, and and the other one gets it on the way back.
My worst one yet was literally yesterday the whole flight the seat belt thingy wouldn’t go off and I had to go to the bathroom for the majority of the flight when ever I would get up to try to use the bathroom someone would immediately take it that happened for 2 hours
I remember going on a bus until some random guy was arguring over internet and 10 seconds after he shutted, the bus broke down
Give that flight attendant a raise bro 😔✋
My flight last July 2021 left Chicago for home and shortly after had to return because the landing gear didn't retract (IIRC). We switched planes. Then there was a few weeks ago also in Chicago. The plane to San Diego had a refueling issue. They managed to dump a lot of it onto the pavement. Queue more waiting to see if it would be resolved....nope, change of plane and gate again.
Geez that's unlucky, was it the same airline, or different ones? I know that a few in the US had been suffering from staffing issues to some degrees, which could have affected the maintenance of some aircraft, that and aircraft getting older and parts harder to source.
It was United both times. They're the only option unless I drive to Green Bay or Minneapolis.
I've never been on a flight before, but to be fair, I have been on a plane in and of itself. I went on a B-29 Superfortress Bomber in August 2016 in at the airport in Peoria, IL.
The most memorable flight was when I was heading back on Southwest from Ft Lauderdale back home to Providence and our flight was delayed like 3 hours because there was a snowstorm up there. Made it back to tell the tale.
My worst flight experience was when me my brother and my parents were on a plane and we hit a bit of turbulence and the plane started dipping. Then everyone started yelling WERE GONNA CRASH and WERE ALL GONNS DIE!!! Then my brother (who was a baby) started crying and the kids on the plane started screaming and it was chaos until the plane got stable again and everyone started sighing in relief. It was kinda scary. And another time was when there was a little kid behind me who kept kicking my chair and a baby that wouldn’t shut up for the whole flight and there was turbulence and I spilt my hot chocolate all over the wall.
And to make matters worse the last one was with Ryanair
Will you be at anthrocon
I feel so bad for you Majira. I know exactly how you feel. I hate crowds and that's all planes are. Speaking of furry cons, I finally get to go to my first furry con after being a furry for probably 20 years or so. It's in late May and I'm super excited.
I haven’t watched one of your videos on forever! Glad to be back lol :D
I feel that man. I used to fly a bunch because my parents are military and I have some crazy freakin stories from some of those flight. Some hilarious and some absolutely INFURIATING lol
Anyware I can go to hear these.
Same here, do you have anywhere you have posted these at all?
I had a bad experience too, So it was a Jetblue Flight From MCO to Buf, and all was fine until a lady with her baby sat next to me ( I had the window seat ) and after we took off I had to listen to this damn lady talk loudly to her baby before I tuned her out with my music. That's not the worst part, She didn't even bother to change her Baby and it smelled Terrible and I was even Yelled at and almost went to jail cause of her for doing nothing but sigh. This was back in 2015 so this is all I remember
Well when it comes to air traveling some can be complicated because people not obeying the rules or the flight attendance staff are concerned for their safety it will be a moment will never forget because I saw this on news reports.
Mine was weird.
After my trip in Switzerland I had to make a quick detour at Los Angeles to get home. I had to sit in the back next to this elderly couple who stank of weed and crap. It was really terrible to smell them but good news (I guess) was I had aisle seat so I can get up when I could. However at one point the one at the middle seat needed to use the restroom and her AND her damn husband got up for some reason even though the restroom was right there he wanted her to be safe or something and they always kept getting up EVERY 30 MINUTES for god knows what…and the smell kept getting worse. The flight was four hours but it literally felt like a week of surviving.
My worst flight experience was when I had the middle seat and I had to sit next to this smelly, hairy guy who was also rude to the flight attendant. I had to sit there for 2 hours trying to move closer and closer away.
Majira you need to do a little decorating to your comfy corner to make it more comfy.
My only worst flight experience was sitting in really uncomfortable seats for four or five hours coming back home from Mexico
This entire situation is awkwardly relatable
Never had a crazy flight (although I always seem to be unlucky with delays) but I did once get asked by someone next to me how I was watching a movie on my phone without internet
lol for me it’s definitely flying to europe in economy and there was a toddler kicking my chair the ENTIRE 10 hour flight xD
I recommend Southwest because they let you have open seating, so you can pick whatever seat you want.
Dude this is like from Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Getaway: Greg has to sit between a couple and yea it's pretty similar!!
My worst was the plane was literally shaking and I was just trying to watch the baseball playoffs and ended up hyperventilating instead 😂
The worst? Having to listen to two people who just met for the first time and they talked. The entire. Fucking. Non. Stop. Flight. No head phones, no music, no noise canceling imagination. Everything around them was a conversation: kids, business practices, careers and I was the galled audience member. I was ready to leave my seat and look for an empty one but I never got around to it. The plane landed, I disembarked and never looked back.
As someone who hates kids, there would be no way in heck that I would be able to make it through that flight so kudos to you for not losing your crap over that baby, also I've never been on a plane so I don't have a worst flight experience
Majira heard theres a open seat unbuckled and JUST NARUTO RUN SPRINTED TO THAT SEAT WITH THE SWIFTEST LIKE HE GAINED MEGA RAYQUAZAS SPEED STAT LOL
I’ve never been on a plane but honestly I think I would sit at the middle seat- a window seat probably would scare the HECK! outta me. Or maybe even the Aisle.
Middle seat is a good way to get over your fears, it's also fun to to watch the other aircraft that are on the tarmac go by during taxing.
Can understand that fully tbh, I don't think I would recommend the window seat for your first flight, unless you are traveling alone, as you get to see what is going on outside. But if you are traveling with others on your row, I would sit between them, as they can be there to try and alleviate any nervousness you have.
Thank God for that flight attendant 🥰 sucks that happened to you. The husband knew what he was doing getting that window seat🤣 love you Majira 😍 💗
one of the many reasons why i'd never want to be on a plane
My worst flight experience was landing in the old Ecuador airport that is near mountains so the plane had to do a sharp turn, and the people who didn’t know that this was normal, starting screaming, myself included because I was a kid back then and I threw up a bunch afterwards.
my worst fly experience is that i havn't been on a flight yet. :(
My worse flight is simple. I got sick on my holiday to Jakarta and I was dieing while coming back, barely able to sleep.
my worst experience was talking to a schizophrenic on an airplane for eight hours.....EIGHT HOURS!!! it drove me coconuts which is why my sona is Benny the coconut
Oh man, I can’t imagine being on a plane for that long!
Granted I always wanted to go to Hawaii and Australia but the duration from where I am (East Coast) is quite long.
Hawaii would be around a 12 hour flight and Australia would be around 20 hours.
I’ve only been to where I am to Florida and back a few times and it’s around 2-2.5 hours each way. Last time I took Allegiant which I would not do again since they didn’t have any perks and the leg room was awful (I’m a tall guy around 6ft 5)
Airplanes seriously should have designated tall people flights so we can lay down or have adequate leg room to be comfortable. I'm the same height as majira and flying sucks. Especially when having anxiety
How tall is Majira?
But I'm 6'5" and after my trip from Naples on Allegiant, I can agree next time I should probably pick a flight that has adequate leg room
Thankfully though since I live in NJ, it was only 2 and a half hours, but still
Waiting at the wrong gate, missed my flight.
I honestly would cry too lol This situation seems so surreal 😂😂
Sounds like spirit airlines
My thoughts exactly
I can see why many comedians make fun of them, as they are infamously known for being cheap and have problems
That baby in the thumbnail is me when I get grounded for the weekend
When I was in high school I was invited on a guided tour of Europe with some classmates. This was summer 2015. The flight there was fine, but on the 8 hour flight back, there was this lady behind me who was using in-flight entertainment to binge watch cheesy 1990s comedy, and despite wearing headphones, would loudly and obnoxiously laugh at every single punchline. For 8 hours. I could not sleep because of this woman.
Geez I’d go crazy if I were you.
I never went on a flight for longer than 2.5 hours (Northeast to Naples and Disney, as well as Sea World, and back, good trips BTW).
Don’t remember the type of plane, only it was huge and three long walkways to the vary back. My son in one arm and my baggage in the other. He was screaming and hitting me, throwing a tantrum. As we slowly walked to the back of the fully booked plane to our seats, being the last to board…I couldn’t help but notice the various looks of absolute horror. As each seat we passed I received that look of “oh yay, I’m going to be on That Flight. The one all the comedians talk about, so happy, thanks.” I honestly think a good amount of people broke-down and or cried “why me God what did I do wrong?!” All I could do is slowly continue to walk with my tail far in-between my legs…Keeping my head down on the walk of all walks of shame…As my son loudly cried and slapped me often. Finally we get to our seats, I never seen a stewardess ask me for help as fast as she got to us. The look on her face was of a distilled panic then asked if I needed anything, I replied yes, needing food and a drink. Like I made a wish it was instantly in my hands. I gave it to my son, he ended up passing out to sleep for the entire flight. There’s nothing like feeling like the worst parent ever invented, by over one hundred people I never met.
Darn, that sucks. People sometimes judge books by their covers, and not for what they really are inside.
But yeah, that look people give you when you're the last on the plane, or have delayed it. The whole "Your the reason we haven't left yet" or "oh look at this person, always the last on the flight".
That must've been stressful for you.
The comfy corner is a sacred place of tales from the crusades of a tall fluffy boyo
This one time my mother and I were flying from California to Missouri and we got seated separately. After we landed I learned that my poor mother, whose 5 feet tall, had been sitting next to a guy who was like 7 feet and took up both seats and half the aisle, squishing her up against the window and the flight attendants had to ask him to move every time they wheeled a refreshment trolley by. Meanwhile I got two seats to myself.
I’ve never sat in the middle of a plane lane because the lanes had two not three seats. I always sit in a seat somewhere far away from the window since I don’t like the feeling of looking down 😣. I also see you liked my drawing 🤩
I can very relate how bad flights experiences went.
specially babies crying, this is way I abortion the babies
My worst flight was spirit I flew on. It was so bumpy it was so uncomfortable the staff were rude as fuck to all of the passengers. So we landed and it was the worst Landing I ever had in my life it was so bumpy that I almost hit my head on the ceiling. I will never fly on Spirit again because what they did to me
A 14 hour flight with a screaming baby on the plane and threw out the flight the flight attendant spilt 10 drinks on me
Oh jeez I hope you still have your sanity
14 hours? From where to where?
The most I experienced was 2.5 hours from NJ to Florida (there and back) and that was enough for me
can't wait when in the future I'll get to meet you and hug u; you were the first furry I ever watched and introduced me into the furry fandom ^^
I've so far managed to avoid any incidents when flying. I dont' know if I'm lucky or I'm just really unshakable, probably both.
well, now I definitely never want to sit in the middle seat.
Yesterday's stream was pretty fun
Haven’t had a bad flight experience, cause I’ve only been on a plane once. But I’m so sorry you had to deal with that situation. Thank goodness that flight attendant came and got you out of there when she did. And as always, great video! Much love!
My family used to fly AirTran a lot because, Idunno; I guess they were cheaper or something. They were literally NEVER on time.
I haven't watched you in years! Golly, you turned Ingo one cute fox boy!
Yikes, that's a very awkward flight lol.
I'd have to say, my worst flight besides all of them cuz im terrified of flying, was when I was flying alone to california to see my dad, and when we were taking off , I could have SWORN i felt the plane scraped the bottom of the run way upon take off cuz i heard a grinding noise for a second then nothing, and my eyes went wide for 5 minutes straight trying to contemplate what happened lmfao
Worse flight experience...?
Coming back from Anthrocon 2012 to Australia.
Miscalculated my flight times... stuck at the Pittsburgh airport for around 24 hours (those airport seats don't provide much comfort if you're forced to sleep in the terminal). After that, departed and landed in Dallas... and I'm stuck there for 12 hours until I can depart for Australia. By this point, I was extremely severely sleep deprived with an ever growing headache.
On the flight back to Australia, a teacher and their ~horde~ of children were packed in to the seats right behind me. Two of the ~brats~ however clearly didn't understand passenger etiquette because one of them kept "stabbing" the screen behind me, harder and harder and harder, not realizing it was causing the armrest to jolt my injured left arm (injury happened during FurDU 2012) and the headache to evolve in to migraine, to the point I had to actually turn around and tell them sternly to "please refrain from hitting the screen" because that screen is ~directly~ behind my head... and the other, for almost an hour straight, during the ~sleeping~ phase of the flight, kept turning the overhead light on-and-of-and-on-and-off (at least until either the teacher or flight attendant actually came and told them to stop).
Honestly, parents/guardians should be held more accountable when their spawns of sat- ... err, I mean, their babies/toddlers/children are disrupting everyone around them.
Indeed, Cabin crew are not there to JUST look after kids, they have other, much more vital roles, such as ensuring that safety equipment works, doors are closed properly, and that the flight crew are still conscious to name a few.
These days people seem to be becoming less and less responsible for others, and more and more careless for others. Sucks loads that.
Flying by myself next month for the first time for FWA.. Didn't pay for any particular seat.
I have flight anxiety and maybe some claustrophobia, not looking forward to this 🥴
Mine was pretty bad. I was on Flight 370 and now i don’t feel so good. I’m jk i never had a bad experience yet but then again I’ve only ever been on four planes and one Blackhawk
Still can’t believe they never found that plane though I did hear they found pieces
Sad though the people are probably long dead now :(
Yo Majira, where’s the werewolf cafè merch? I would love to buy some ❤️
I Really Enjoy Your Videos. Keep Up The Great Work.
my first fight is my worst cus i have only been on a plane once lol
I was about to ask when the smell of shit-filled diaper hit your nose. My worst flight experience (on an airline, not when flying myself) was little more than an inconvenience. Somebody took my seat, which I had specifically selected when booking, because they would have been sitting separate from their other family members. A bit presumptuous on their part, I know, but rather than dispute it and have the flight attendant make them move back to their own seat, I just decided to take their seat. It was only a short 45 minute connecting flight from ORD to GRR and not worth putting up much of a stink over. BTW, on those airline flights I was wearing my Anthrocon and “Proud to be a Furry” shirts.
All the times I’ve flown I’ve had no issues except for the seats 💺 being too narrow I’m a big dude myself but I’m on the wider side also I think the next time I fly with my family I’ll ask my mom if she can pay extra for seats that aren’t narrow
Same here.
I just got back from my trip to Naples on Allegiant, and I had no leg room (I'm 6 ft 5).
The flight wasn't too bad though they had no amenities. Thankfully it was only a 2hr 30 min flight (I'm in NJ)
What'd you get, Spirit Airlines?
But man, after my trip to and from Naples Florida, I wouldn't fly Allegiant again. I'm 6 ft 5 and there was absolutely no leg room. They have no special perks either.
One time I was going to MFF and I had a flight with American Airlines that was supposed to board at 12:00 pm and so I was at the gate waiting and all of a sudden they delay it an hour,,, an hour later they delay it another two hours,, and it kept going. At 6pm we FINALLY boarded the plane,,, and then after waiting another hour on the plane they tell us to get off the plane because of something wrong with the cockpit ?? I don’t know. So I get off the plane and I’m crying cause I’m totally stressed out. Another hour and a half passes and they have us re-board the plane. It’s about 8:30 pm and we FINALLY take off. I didn’t get to MFF till about 3am.
I’ll never fly American again.
Tech issues suck, I'm surprised they didn't allocate you a replacement aircraft, as that may have meant you would have gotten a shorter delay potentially. But that would depend on if any were available that can also cater to the amount of passengers onboard the flight.
MAJIRA I love your fursuit it's so fluffy and colorful
O my... that entrance... was quite interesting
Not gonna lie, I probably would've of hesitated to snatch that open seat up either lol. I probably would've killed myself having to sit next to a baby for a long time :3
I'm a frequent flyer for both cons and other trips, and I've used planes since I was little. I used to use Continental Airlines (prior to joining the fandom) until their merger with United, at which point I used United a lot and still do (including now that I reside in Ohio). I've also flown British Airways, Air Canada, Swiss Air, Lufthansa, Southwest, Delta, American, and JetBlue (ANE). 1stly, I"m going to adjust my channel to be an airline review channel for furries (when I learn how to edit lol cuz I got material with my ride to Boston to go to ANE 2022) with how much I fly. 2ndly, here's some advice. So, Southwest does use open seating and you can, as it sounds like you are using, use a higher class to better secure a seat. That said, airlines like United and American allow you to select a seat with no charge as long as you stay in basic economy. So, let's say you want to sit in a window such as 34A, you just select 34A, and boom. The seat is yours, and you can change seats as long as it's the basic economy seats. That's one reason I like using the likes of airlines like United and American. As to the checked bag, I possess a credit card with both United and American that allows me to get a credit card for no charge (but I pay about $90 for each card a year). Another bonus is that I get lounge passes a couple times a year (usually 2) that lasts about every 6 months. Lounges are super cool. I used one to go to Mff at the airport in CLE with United waiting to board a United plane. They had cheese-stuffed pretzels, fruit, and unlimited soda and I think some alcohol (though tipping the bartender is usually good). Otherwise, they usually charge about $50 each use without such a pass. Southwest does not provide a lounge. Should you use an airline that has a lounge, you usually will want to be through security at least an hour early (no less) to get the most with such a lounge. Just some tips with my many years of travel by plane. Oh, and sometimes, depending on how many miles you get with United, American, or Delta, you can get upgraded to 1st class. Now THAT is a great experience.
those flight attendants who move the single flyers around are GODSENDS I fly alone a lot and I always appreciate them 😭💕 oh man I have lots of flight stories- I would fly back and forth from home and school every semester and there was one trip where I was coming back home for the holidays and it had been a STRESSFUL sprint to the airport, not knowing the station well, almost getting on the wrong train, etc- I get to the airport and find my flight delayed. Fine, I can cope, I just sit and play on my switch or whatever to pass the time. Mind you, I'm sick as a dog at this time (this is pre-covid, I just had a really bad cold). A half hour delay turns into one hour, one hour turns into five, and I'm just wandering around the airport at this point, grabbing food and sitting in random places to pass the time. I call my mom for the half hour of free wifi this goddamn airport gives me and she feels so bad, offering the idea that I go back and stay with my grandma who lives in that state for the night- but I've got sick brain and I've waited this long, I'm determined to wait it out and just get the hell home. When they finally get our plane, they switch terminals on me at the last second and I have to make a mad dash through the airport to find it. I finally did and I was so goddamn happy to get on that plane, everyone around me was staring at me sniffling and coughing like ohgod I don't wanna be on a flight with this person, I didn't give a shit I was going home. I waited 9 hours in that airport, so sick and brainfogged. I think that trip gave me travel anxiety.
This story reminds me of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: the getaway.
I’ve never been on a plane, but I have a train story. On my ride home from FE last month, I had it all set, single window seat, amazing leg room, if you’re gonna be on a train, go business class…. That is if you want a chance to be stuck next to some businessman who took up four seats to himself on the other side of the train car. He didn’t put his phone on vibrate or anything, so that was going off every minute as soon as the train left the station, followed by what seemed like an endless argument with one of his employees where he very loudly proclaimed he was gonna fire someone because he didn’t like who they were dating or whatever. That was the first two and a half hours of my five hour trip, the last half, this guy, this scumbag chatterbox, talked to a couple who were on vacation from Dubai, shared in some thinly veiled racism of previous partners and wouldn’t shut the fuck up about recommending place after place on what to do to this couple. They already made their own plans, they made that clear but every place they wanted to go, he would say “bah, overrated, overrated, tourist trap, terrible” and similar things. I had half a mind to ask an attendant over to shut him up, but the last thing I needed was the ire of some loud douche with no respect for public convention. See, business class on a train is the best, unless you’re stuck with one of his type.
free drinks and food though.
I like the good place reference in the intro
Having flown alone a few times they all went fairly well, meaning nothing happened. I got the window seat though, so that would be where I lucked out. You know, why do we even have the middle seat? Think about it. If we get rid of the middle seat, maybe widen the cabin just a little bit we can have 3 columns of 2 chairs with two aisles. No middle seats, only aisle seats and window seats. I have solved airline travel.
Some planes have two seats, some have more. Heck the DC-10's iirc had 2-5-2 at one point, which if you are in the middle of the centre row, can't imagine it's a great place to sit if you are claustrophobic.
I believe the main reason for the 3-3 seating on some planes, is that these days airlines earn more revenue if they have more passengers on each flight, thus we have moved away from the wider, more comfortable seats, to narrower, and less comfortable ones. But I can't be sure on that.
Ok a time when I was younger, i took a Italian low cost airline for Kiev-Rome and I was going to drop the bags. The counter lady said: “ can you please check the mesurament of the bag in the metal thing?” I did, and the bag didn’t fitted because of a plastic protector on the corner, tourns out there was a fee of 40-30€. I was pretty concerned. Tht was my first and last flight with tht airline
