Whats the strangest....

thing that you have done or encountered on a Aeroplane?

I watched Snakes on a Plane, on a plane.

Not really that strange...but hey ho.

Share your stories.

A fair old bit of turbulance once, but that is hardly riveting

also why do lots of people hate take-offs and landings? its the only interesting part!

never been on a plane, no really

I've been in a stall in a 100 seat airliner.


Sound unlikely but it was part of a two hours customer acceptance flight and they go through everything in the Flight Test Schedule to prove capability.

Played throw the invisible bouncy ball and catch it in the sick bag. A very amusing game that seem ed to annoy everyone on the plane except me and my mates!

I flew to scotland and back from gatwick in a 707 or airbus (cant remember) with just 3 perople on board, and 2 of them were the pilots.
It was a mail run, and I bummed a ride for the fun of it.

Been on a plane, with a pet land crab stowed away in a plastic "ferroro rocher" box.

Only prob was that it was a night flight (being only 12 at the time), I naturally fell a sleep and the thing crawled away!! Did find it again.... by spotting a woman stood hunched over on her seat looking at the floor in absolute terror, about to scream.

Hmmm. prob sounds too far fetched

front tyre burst on landing on a dc-10 flying into Lagos airport...dont really remember it much as I was only around 4 or 5 at the time.....

no injuries, sounds a lot worse than it was...

...I always notice the way the pressure in the cabin seems to make your pores open up. You can squeeze out some lovely whiteheads you never knew were there while in the loo!

I mean, what else is there to do on a long haul?

Sat next to a 2 year old once that cried 10hrs straight from Hong Kong to Auckland - he fell asleep just as we landed. Little rat spat his dummy whilst getting on the plane - i had 5 spares on the way home.

2 more - lady next to me freaked had an anxiety attack and fainted - doctor was paged and oxy was out. And the last odd incident was on a 737 coming into land and then pulling back up real hard just as the wheels hit the ground - everyone was sh*tting themselves (me too).
