I am a member of the politely knock on the door and get boarded club. Our luggage didn't make it until the next day, but we made the flight. That was the trip that convinced me to be carryon only. But, it was a LONG time ago.

As a father with kids, I can assure you that my own kids crying was quite uncomfortable to me, as I knew something was up with the kid.  When I am flying and hear kids crying, I immediately sympathize with the parents.  It really sucks for them and moreso for the kid.  I also thank God for inventing noise canceling headphones.  That fucking guy could have saved himself the trauma (ha ha) and the public embarrassment by just planning - buy some cheap noise canceling headphones and no longer allow yourself to be "triggered."  What an asshat.

As a father of two grown kids, I sympathize with parents of young children crying on airplanes. We've ALL been there. It's not the kid or the parent's fault. It's just life.

For this shitstain to go off on that baby and the parents tells me he's a fucking miserable person. Hopefully has hasn't procreated.

This. Sure, I get annoyed if a kid is crying/screaming and the parent isn’t doing anything to try to soothe/calm it down, but that’s really the exception. Most of the time, the folks are trying. And maybe don’t be a dick, and help them. We flew to Germany one time, and I ended up in a row with two young parents, and their baby. They were well-prepared, had a bulkhead sleeper set up, all of it. And I still helped them a couple of times by holding the baby, holding the diaper bag while they handled the baby, etc. Kid was well-behaved, parents were prepared and trying. They had my empathy, and they did all they could.
As opposed to the SWA flight from Long Beach recently where the gal just let her kid scream and didn’t do anything about it. That pissed me off.

The baby crying made more sense than he did.

Decades ago, flying back from Hong Kong, over 30 American families had gone over to HK/China to adopt babies. The entire flight back was chorus of babies crying. At no point on the flight was a baby not crying. 

I don't remember anyone complaining. Babies are gonna do what babies do. Cry, eat, cry, shit, cry, sleep.

Odds it was a Spirit Airlines flight?  Looking into flights right now to NYC right now, and the cheapest flights by a wide margin are Spirit.  Um, I think I'll pass.

Get a front row bulkhead seat.  It's really no worse than any other domestic airline these days.

That guy obviously doesn’t belong in decent society, but from the comfort of my couch, “fuck that baby” is hilarious and perfectly delivered.

Maybe it’s camera catching everything in the world now but too many people go apeshit over any situation. I would be very annoyed with a crying baby on a plane but no reason to potentially ruin your life over it. There’s also the idea of preparing for a noisy flight. If you can’t afford noise cancelling headphones, go buy some $2 ear plugs.

China: hold my beer.

A toddler cried non-stop during a flight. Two strangers locked her in the bathroom

Two airline passengers who locked a stranger’s crying grandchild in a plane restroom have caused outrage in China and sparked a heated online debate on how to handle upset children in public spaces.

The incident went viral this week after one of the two women involved posted a video on Chinese social media, which showed them inside a locked lavatory with the wailing girl, who appeared to be about a year old.

“We won’t let you out unless you stop crying,” a woman sitting on the toilet told the toddler as she struggled out of the adult’s lap and reached for the door, according to the video posted on Douyin, China’s version of TikTok.

As the girl stopped crying, the woman filming the video picked her up and told her: “If you make any noise again, we’ll come back (to the bathroom).”

The incident took place August 24 aboard a Juneyao Airlines flight from the southwestern city of Guiyang to Shanghai.

The toddler was flying with her grandparents and cried non-stop during the nearly three-hour flight, the airline said in a statement Monday. The two passengers took the child to the restroom to “educate her” with her grandmother’s consent, the statement added.

But a day later, as criticism mounted, the airline’s customer service department apologized for the incident and “oversight of the crew,” adding it condemned the two passengers’ behavior, according to the state-run Southern Metropolis Daily.

One of the women, who posted the video online, said her intention was to ensure a “restful flight” for other passengers. But her post quickly met a backlash, with many social media users accusing her of being heartless and bullying the child. The video was later deleted.

“Adults in their 30s can have emotional breakdowns, but people don’t allow toddlers to have theirs,” said one comment on China’s X-like Weibo platform, garnering thousands of likes.

“We were all once children … Don’t be a cold-blooded adult,” read another popular comment.

Many others expressed concern that the incident may negatively impact the child’s mental health.

Multiple Chinese state media outlets have also weighed in, accusing the two women of “inappropriate” behavior and calling for “greater understanding” from the public toward young children who cannot control their emotions.

In recent years, complaints about young children crying or acting out on flights and trains have regularly trended on Chinese social media, with many accusing parents of not doing enough to manage their kids’ behavior.

Good thing it wasn't a chicken.

Or in my case puke. My kiddo threw up just as we went wheels up on a flight to Amsterdam. Yeah, I had an extra shirt. Extra pants? Nope. I ordered another beer and apologized to those around me. They all laughed and no one said a damn thing. One offered to watch her while I tried to clean up.

I do not hate the Dutch.

How can someone purchase buy a fake AA ticket? Are people selling airline tickets in flea markets and shit?

"Sure, just take this ticket and hand it to the person before you go on the plane."

 

Shame he didn't make it to MIA.  He'd fit right in.

I have a buddy that’s a high flying criminal defense attorney in Toronto. He had a client that was buying discount tickets on Craigslist and reselling them. She was a reseller but obviously it was a scam. One person had enough of her shit and she had to pay some big time fines and restitution for the fake plane tickets (she thought they were real).

Passenger ordered to pay more than $5,000 in fuel costs after flight diverted due to bad behavior

According to the Australian Federal Police, a then-32-year-old man from Western Australia was disruptive on a flight headed from Perth to Sydney. As a result, the plane had to turn around and go back to Perth, which meant that the pilot was forced to dump some fuel to land.

Now, the passenger has been ordered to pay $8,630 AUD ($5,806 USD) back to the airline to cover the cost of the wasted fuel. The Perth Magistrate Court also fined him $6,055, meaning that his mid-air misbehavior has a total price tag of $11,861 – likely many times higher than whatever he spent on the ticket.

“This incident should serve as a warning that criminal behavior on board can come at a heavy cost to the offender,” Shona Davis, the AFP’s Acting Superintendent, said in a statement.

“It’s far simpler to obey the directions of airline staff than cause unnecessary issues, which can end up hitting you in the hip pocket.”
Although the flight happened on September 25, 2023, it has taken about a year for the case against the unruly passenger to work its way through the Australian legal system.

Neither the man nor the airline was publicly named, nor was it specified exactly what he did to earn such a hefty penalty.

I wish they would do this shit here.  Sir your emotional support peacock just pecked the shit out of a three bleeding passengers.  We’re now diverting.  You get to buy 83000 gallons of jet fuel.  And the air Marshall shot your bird.

Outjuked by a lady in sandals. Great résumé builder.

Got off a flight today and shortly into it I felt the guy in back of me firmly pressing his knee into the seat back through the fabric.  First couple of times I shifted my weight back to let him know he was doing it.  Third time I turned around and said “you’re shoving your knee into my back and it’s uncomfortable. Please stop.” 
 

The dude loudly protested that he wasn’t doing it, and showed me that at the moment his knee was not shoved into the seat.  I just shrugged.  No more issues for the rest of the flight.  Why lie? Just say “sorry about that” and move along. 
 

(Before I’m asked, I was not reclining.)

“A woman in her 40s and a woman in her 60s made counter allegations of affray,” the statement said. No further details were provided.

Affray is when someone uses or threatens “unlawful violence” toward another person, according to the Crown Prosecution Service, which prosecutes cases in England and Wales.

According to The Sun, witnesses said one of the women asked the other to remove her hat, and they allegedly punched each other. The argument then continued on the plane, according to The Sun’s report, before the two passengers were escorted off.

Let me guess which one was wearing the hat.

Had repeated line cutters during deplaning. First time I just shared a look with the semi-cute woman across from me

On the return flight, after waking up at the crack of ass and suffering all day with back issues, I went full Larry David and asked the dude if he was in a hurry to catch a flight. He said “yeah”

I responded “I guess I’ll allow it then”. That was that.

Of course, we were in Austin. What connecting flights are here? Is that a thing? I guess it is.

I probably was pretty close to being the asshole in this situation, but for fuck sake, im sick of line cutters. If we’re flying into DFW and we’re late. Everyone has to catch a flight!!!

Yeah, 60 year old was wearing the hat and 40 year old was talking shit to her.
