When Privilege Takes Flight: Shocking Moments Entitled Passengers Faced at 30,000 Feet
I was sitting next to a couple with a baby that was nursing who unlatched suddenly causing me to get squirted in the face with breast milk.
It was definitely an ice breaker.

Entitled passenger refused to move from my window seat… then had the audacity to argue
So I need to vent because this genuinely annoyed me.
I booked a window seat (27A) on my flight. When I got there, two women were already sitting in my row. I politely told them I had 27A, and one of them goes, “No, this is 27C the window seat. 27A is the aisle.
I was a bit confused, so I double checked after sitting down briefly in the aisle seat, and asked a flight attendant. She confirmed that 27A was in fact the window seat.
So I go back and explain that to the woman, nicely, and her response was: “For gods sake, what are you so desperate to sit by the window for?”
I told her calmly that I’d paid for that seat. She snaps back, “We all paid for it,” and still refuses to move.
At this point the flight attendant is right there witnessing everything and says, “It’s her seat if she wants to sit there, she will.”
Only then did the woman finally move, but the attitude the whole time was unbelievable. No apology, no basic respect, just pure entitlement.
Honestly, I don’t get how people can act like that over something so straightforward. If it’s not your seat, just move. It’s not that deep.
“It can feel as if people have horse blinders on, seeking to eliminate as much of their anxiety and discomfort as quickly as possible. When this is happening, it can be quite challenging to perceive those around them, which can come off as extremely rude.”
Dropped my passport down this hole to nowhere while lining up to board my flight.
Got put on standby due to overbooked flight, then went to the wrong gate, ran across the entire airport and made it just in time, only to then drop my passport through this inaccessible gap on the stairwell. Fml.
Person who hacked my credit card emailed me asking why I canceled his flight.
My credit card was hacked. I think the guy did it by hacking my gmail account. Because he signed up for Priceline, with the login with gmail button.
I called my bank and canceled it. I logged into Priceline to see if I could get any information about the person who booked the flight. I saw I could cancel it for no charge. So I did because it was going to be faster to get a refund from Priceline than my bank.
Two days later I got this email. It had his photo and phone number. It matched the name on the flight too.

“Airlines need to communicate clearly and consistently about the procedures that flight attendants should follow when encountering disruptive behavior among passengers. Flight crews should be given authority to intervene in situations that could escalate quickly into disagreements,” he said.

It was MY kid, but still.

This happened many years ago… I sat next to a woman who would not stop talking to me, and it became apparent she was like desperately looking for male companionship. She kept saying things like, “I haven’t been with someone in a long time, can you believe that?” and “I really just want someone to take care of me and my son.” – “Do you think I am attractive?” – “What kind of job do you have?” – “I bet your girlfriend is pretty.” – “Oh man, you’re so smart. I really like smart guys.”
I started playing sudoku in a book to try to ignore her, and that seemed to impressed her even more. For 3 hours, she basically kept hinting that she wanted me to take her home with me. I was single at the time, but man, she came across as someone in need of some serious therapy.
