Boeing said, also via email, that it would defer comment to United about the carrier's fleet and operations. Its message included a link to information about the airplane that was involved, and it was said to be more than 25 years old. https://abc7news.com/united-flight-missing-panel-sfo-medford-oregon/14529741/ This is on United
Flew southwest for the first time in years because my dad booked his flight on it and he connected through Houston so I just booked that. Never again. I’m not high maintenance and I don’t mind sitting in the last row of a plane. The entire boarding process legit gave me anxiety and the flight attendants jokes were cringey af
On RyanAir they play a trumpet fanfare if the plane arrives early/on-time. Admittedly, it's RyanAir so I've only ever heard it once but it's pretty cringe.
Southwest's boarding process is unrivaled if you have any kind of organizational ability. Check in 20 minutes late and you're gonna have a bad time though
I don't fly nearly as often as some of you, but the "clapping after the plane lands" behavior had to have come out of post 9/11 or at least really juiced it right? I vaguely recall this happening on one of my first flights I took years ago (never flew on a plane until college) and thankfully haven't seen it since.
I fly a lot and have only heard clapping once and frankly the pilots deserved it. Was the craziest turbulence I have ever encountered
Did the pilot have a drinking problem and then crash landed the plane in rural Georgia after an engine failed?
this is great for those times when you want to carry your luggage for a mile instead of taking the tram like a normal person or the weird mobile lounges like a nerd
I have no clue why they did it. Flight was going to Nashville, so can only imagine flying is still relatively new to the rednecks on the plane. I had an intra Morocco flight where people clapped. And another from Panama to Costa Rica that was diverted to Nicaragua due to storms.
I’ve been 30 minutes late in RyanAir and they hit the trumpet and the majority of the plane blurts out “bullshit”.
Is that a secret at all? I feel like I end up walking that way half the time because you're naturally guided there
Terminal B. I was joking because it's probably the most talked about feature in an airport for the last few years. https://stuckattheairport.com/2020/11/16/laguardia-airport-has-a-cool-new-water-show/
In my experience the clapping at landing thing is reserved for hicks/rednecks/people who don’t get out much. Generally it occurs when arriving at a tourist destination like Vegas or Orlando. A real serial killer profile would be a weekly business traveler who claps on every landing
I clapped yesterday and today upon landing but it was because I was on a Boeing plane. I’ll also clap tomorrow to and from LaGuardia, God willing.
I haven't heard anyone clap in years but I also have noise cancelling headphones so I don't care what you do. Just don't jump up in the aisle and push your way to the front as soon as we get to the gate.
My MIL stood frozen in place, transfixed, for a full ten minutes while watching that thing. You don't understand, it was the first time I had ever seen her shut up for more than five.
Could have been coming off another flight with a quick turn and didn’t/won’t have the opportunity to eat again for several hours. It’s irrelevant.
I flew to Seattle this morning and the lady in front of me pitched a fit because the guy in front of her reclined. She freaked out and demanded he raise his seat back. He did, so I went ahead and asked her to as well. I repeated to her what she said to him - "my knees just can't take that pressed against them". She moved it up and didn't say shit. I only did it because, fuck her.
I didn't even see him again. I was fast asleep and it pretty busy in Seattle. I never ask anyone to not recline, but in this case...
Man Stuck On 7-Hour Flight With Missing Headrest, Bolt Pressing Into Head A passenger on an international British Airways flight was stuck on a seven-hour flight in a seat without a headrest. To make matters worse, there was a one-inch bolt sticking out of the seat, pressing into the head during the flight from Heathrow Airport in London to Toronto. Jonathan Yates said he alerted the flight crew but was told the plane was full and there were no other seats available. One member of the flight crew brought him a pillow to cover the bolt. "The whole flight was very uncomfortable as if I leant back, I could still feel the bolt in my head as the pillow was that thin," Yates told Kennedy News via Business Insider. Yates, who was celebrating his 50th birthday, said he was concerned for his safety. "It was a major safety issue. If I had hit my head on the bolt in the seat, it would have cut my head," he said. Yates said he was forced to sit sideways during the entire flight. He said that British Airways offered him and his wife a $60 voucher as compensation. Yates said that was not enough and vowed never to fly with the airline again.
Hahahahaha the $60 voucher as compensation is just too good. Airlines don’t give a shit. Make it up as they go and have no fear of consequences. Trump of transportation industries.
