worst air travel/ things you hate most about air travel (1 Viewer)

[philphie]

i fucking hate checking in, waiting for my bags because i'm always the last one waiting, filling out a ridiculous amount of forms, on some airlines the constant repetition of shitty films, sitting next to someone fucking annoying, how fucking cold it gets at night, some airlines have shit ass small thin blankets.


oh the biggest bummer is waiting like an hour after boarding for the plane to actually start moving only for it to stop again.

Hate the coldness mid flight.
Hate that I always seem to be put towards the back of the plane and thus get a shitty meal.
Hate that my bags are always last to come out.
Hate that Qantas online check in doesn't always work.
Hate that Virgin's seats don't recline that far (if at all).

And I hate that to fly anywhere to/from Perth takes so long!

 

[philphie]

how long is the flight? 4-5 hours?

 

[babikakez]

Perth to Syd and back is generally 5 hours.
Perth to Melb is 3.5, Melb to Perth is 4.5.

 

[philphie]

lol wtf with melbs why is it longer one way than the other

 

[babikakez]

Wind speed makes the difference, I'm absolutely serious.

QF648 Perth to Melbourne: 3h 30m
QF485 Melbourne to Perth: 4h 10m, but also then Perth Domestic is a nightmare so you sit there for half an hour before you can get off the plane.

 

[philphie]

haha that's with any plane

 

[housah0lic]

take off.
economy class food.


other than that i find flying quite enjoyable.

The worst thing is how they increase cabin temp to get everyone to fall asleep; its horrid, I feel like I'm stuck in a furnace. There are free blankets; it should stay cold for the whole flight.

Taking off shoes/belts is annoying too.

 

[philphie]

increase cabin temp? i don't remember this? they always keep it cold, gives me stomach aches all night.

i hate the long flights... 8 hours to singapore =S

i hate it being so crowded and the air just seems thin... i cant sleep.
i kinda feel like im claustophobic or sumting.. it just seems too tightly packed :S
i hate not being comfortable

i loved it when i was on my flight to singapore like 4 years ago, and i got spongebob slippers xD that was the highlight of that flight =P

the food is ordinary... hated the asian airlines "snack food" omg it was so ew... and espec when sitting next to this asian business man... he was tryna encourage me to eat the food "you eat this! very good! very niice!"

im like oh um yeah okay... turn around and gave my parents a funny look, and they just laughed at me.

 

[babikakez]

also, aren't the routes just a little bit different?

Yeah I think its slightly different, I know Melb to Perth you fly over the Bight, and I don't think you do Perth-Melb.

haha that's with any plane

I just picked them because they were the flights I took a few weeks ago.

i hate the lack of legroom in economy. i usually ask for a seat on the aisle so i have a bit more space to expand my legs into, but it's still pretty uncomfortable. but last time i flew the check-in guy gave me an exit row without telling me, so that was an awesome surprise when i got on the plane. nothing like having five metres of empty space in front of you, although it's completely freezing because you're right next to the door. i was literally shivering through the whole flight.

other than that my main complaint about air travel is long waits between flights. 4-5 hour stops at kuala lumpur or wherever are not fun at all.

 

[Phoenix Fury]

The fact i've never experienced it

 

[GUSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

i have only flown on 2 occasions in the past
tbh ive inherited my dad's fear of flying, and shows like that 'air crash investigations' which point out that a loose screw can cause a plane to fall outta the sky, make me paranoid about it.

however when i actually caught the plane, i slept like a baby, had a gooooooooood longgggggggg sleeeeeeeeeep =]]]

 

[philphie]

haha aircrash investigations never throw me off when i'm getting on a plane, it's border patrol which scares me

haha 8 hours? that's nothing compared to a 24 hour flight to New York

I love aircrash investigations, dont mind border patrol either, though yes BP it is much more of a deterrent.

Anyway goin out with a bang ftw amirite?

With the recent bombing attempt on that plane to US, I really dunno what to do anymore. I usually sleep during take off and landing - But should I stay awake now and look for suspicious people and get ready to jump and beat up anyone attempting to detonate a bomb ??
