airline seat swap horror stories

One horror story could be when a passenger swapped seats without permission. The person who originally had the seat was traveling with family members, and they were separated due to this. It led to a lot of arguing and discomfort throughout the flight.

Well, if people swap seats without following proper procedures, it can mess up the seating arrangements. For example, the flight crew may have specific plans for passengers, like separating groups for safety reasons. When seats are randomly swapped, it can create confusion and chaos.

One time on a long - haul flight, I agreed to a seat swap so a family could sit together. But then I ended up next to a really smelly person who took up way too much space. It was miserable for the whole flight.

One common problem is getting a worse view. For example, in a theater or stadium, you might end up with a pillar or some equipment blocking your sight after a seat swap.

I was on a flight where the food made me really sick. I think it was something wrong with the meal preparation. I spent most of the flight in the bathroom feeling nauseous. It was a horrible experience.

I heard that on a Spirit Airlines flight, there were problems with the in - flight amenities. The air conditioning wasn't working properly, and it was really hot inside the cabin. Passengers were sweating and complaining, but the crew didn't seem to be able to fix it quickly. Additionally, there have been stories of hidden fees. A customer thought they got a cheap flight deal, but then they were hit with all kinds of extra fees for things like carry - on bags and seat selection that they weren't fully aware of in advance.

One horror story is about long flight delays. Passengers were stuck on the plane for hours without proper updates or assistance. They were left sitting in uncomfortable seats, thirsty and hungry as the airline failed to provide timely refreshments.

Delays are very common. Airlines often overbook flights, and then when too many people show up, some passengers are bumped off the flight at the last minute. It's a horrible feeling for those who have planned their trips carefully.

One horror story is when a flight got severely delayed for over 10 hours due to technical issues. Passengers were stuck in the airport with no proper communication from the airline. We had to wait around, and there was hardly any food provided. It was a total nightmare.

I heard of a case where the airline lost a passenger's luggage which had all their important documents and medications. They had to go through a lot of hassle to get things sorted at their destination. It took days to get their luggage back, if at all. And the airline wasn't very helpful initially, just giving them the run - around.
