Flight from Chicago (ORD) to John Wayne Airport (SNA) – My wife had a very very foul smelling pax next to her in F.  Wife gets up after the plane reaches cruising altitude, goes to the flight attendant to ask about a different seat.  Here was Flight Attendant’s response:
“I was going to ask if you wanted a different seat, but we are full.  Would you like to sit in the jumpseat in the rear of the plane and let the rest of of us suffer up here?” My wife took her up on the offer and spent 3 hours in the jump seat in the rear galley.  Tons of sympathy from crew and even a voucher from purser.

Southwest flight from Albany (ALB) to Tampa (TPA)
Flight Attendant (over loudspeaker):  Upon disembarking, please carefully open the overhead storage doors, as your belongings may have shifted during the flight.  And as we all know, “shift” happens

I really hate it when people clap and go woo-hoo after landing. Were they shitting in their pants thinking it might crash?

One of my favorite weekly check-ins. Please – keep t hem coming. As for the wife of LufthansaFlyer (The first entry), you have my deepest sympathy, madam. I’ve been there as well, (Yes, even in FC)). Sadly, my outcome was not as pleasant as was yours. Although the carrier is not named, I salute the FA and Purser involved. What else could they do?
