Horror air travel stories seem to be the latest blog trend. Or perhaps air travel is simply getting worse.
On my recent trip to Sydney, both flights were delayed by an hour. This, however, was a picnic compared to what some people go through.
What Would Dad Say tells of a horror trip to New York. After extensive delays, the plane finally arrived - only to then be told that the baggage handlers had gone home for the night!
And then, from Scobleizer, we have this:
Unbelievable.

I don’t think anyone likes air travel at this point, it is the whole cattle car concept.

This is crazy. I don’t get how it can be that bad. I am sorry, but if it is that bad then get them off of the plane. I have flown a lot, but I have never seen anything like that. What about you?

Straight out - that sucks. Why put the damn people on the plane if you *think* there might be a problem with the damn plane in the first place?!?!?!

I would literally freak out. 7 hours? I’m a little claustrophobic and I don’t love crowds. They would have had to let us off if I’d been on that plane!

What gets me is the lack of organisation evident here. The airlines involved clearly have not done any contingency planning for things that could go wrong, nor do they have any concept of customer service.
Particularly sending the baggage handlers home and making the passengers return the next day to get their luggage. Unbelievable.

On the ball there, molk! I didn’t like the latest TGS nearly as much as the previous ones, though.

I don’t think they gave anyone the option of getting off!
