‘Severe Turbulence’ On Delta Flight Sends 11 To The Hospital Generally speaking, Delta is about as good as it gets when it comes to flying in the U.S. That doesn’t mean Delta’s actually great or basically perfect. Heck, a lot of people don’t even realize its flight attendants aren’t unionized yet. Still, it could easily be so much worse. And yet, its planes still aren’t immune… Read more…

There has to be an easier way to sleep on a flight… Taking transatlantic flights which typically fly overnight, I have not yet found a comfortable way to sleep when there are 2 or 3 people in a row of 3 seats. Paying $6,000 for “first class” is out of the question Typical horseshoe neck pillows don’t seem to be high enough I thought if I could get my head on top of my arms on my tray table I co…

U.K. Airports Hit by Flight Delays Over ‘Technical Issue’ Britain’s air traffic control agency warned of “flow restrictions” while it tried to find and fix a system fault, with long waits likely as a result.

Still made misconnected flight, but bags have not. Today, I flew from Warsaw to Amsterdam via Frankfurt with Lufthansa. My flight from Warsaw to Frankfurt got delayed a bit. When I arrived at Frankfurt, there was no gate available. We were bussed to some far-away place, that took really long. When I got off the bus, I had about 15 minutes to catch my next flight. My Lufthansa app said the flight…

Connecting flight (stupid?) question Hi, I am due to fly to Orlando from Edinburgh via JFK. Landing in terminal 4 and also departing from terminal 4 with a just under 2 hour wait between flights. Do I need to collect checked baggage in JFK and re-check it or will it be transferred? Is there anything else I should know that may not be obvious? The flight to JFK is by KLM and the Or…

Can I take a knight/crusader helmet as a personal item on a plane flight? I hear about people doing it for hats or motorcycle helms but nothing I can find for something like that specifically. The relevant companies are Alaska out and spirit coming home submitted by /u/Zephyronno

Had to spend like $300 for taxis and accommodation for 2 nights. They keep delaying the flight out this morning. I’m covered in bug bites and have no clothes left. The person at the desk scheduled my connections for 5 a.m. t…

Flight Risk We’re covering near-misses on airport runways, severe weather and the Women’s World Cup.

Flight attendants… do you know the story the whole time? For example, today I sat on the plane after we boarded for 4 hours before taking off due to “paperwork” around a scratch on the side of our plane. We had the opportunity to get off since they reopened the door, but they said we would be good to go in 30 minutes so I didn’t want to risk shooting myself in the foot. 4 hours later, we take off, I m…

Pilot Dies During Flight From Miami To Chile The fear of crashing is probably one of the worst fears that people have related to flying. Second to crashing would be the pilots becoming incapacitated. The latter fear was realized earlier this week when the captain of a LATAM flight collapsed while flying between Miami, Florida, and Santiago, Chile. The LATAM … Read more…

Flight overbooking caused me to miss connecting flight – who’s in the wrong here? A couple weeks ago I had a trip with 3 flights: BER-IST (TK1724), IST-KUL (TK60) and KUL-SYD (TK4813). All the flights are Turkish Airlines (TA), but the last one is a codeshare flight operated by Malaysia Airlines (MH123); still I bought the ticket together with the other ones and for me the flight code on the ticket was TK4813. I bought the wh…

LPT Request: I booked the wrong flight, how do I get the flight agent to rebook my flight or give me a refund? I accidentally booked the flight for the 12th of September when actually I wanted to book it for the 12th of August. submitted by /u/Introvertedeuropean

Enough time for 5:40am flight? I have a 5:40am flight from RDU to DTW. Check in counters don’t open until 4am and TSA doesn’t open until 4:30am. Will there be time to make the flight if I arrive at the airport at 4am? I imagine the airport is pretty dead at that time right? It’s stressing me out. submitted by /u/Bearcasey

Is there a site where I can look at historical flight cancellations/delays (based on airline, times, flight path) to predict the chances of mine being cancelled/delayed? I’m looking to purchase a flight on Spirit. I’ll be traveling very light and it’s a lot cheaper than other airlines. I know Spirit often cancels/delays flights, so I was hoping there was some type of site/resource where I’m able to see the rate of delays/cancellations on certain flight paths, at certain times of day, etc. Basically I’d love to …

Snoring on a red eye flight So I am a loud snorer, but sleep apnea treatment has been ineffective and I don’t have a travel device anyway. I am scheduled to take an overnight flight to Europe in a month and I am feeling anxious/self conscious about loudly snoring and bothering the other passengers. Keeping myself awake for the entire flight isn’t an option, does anyone hav…
