The old saying that misery loves company definitely applies to flightsfromhell.com. Some of these accounts will not only top your own horror stories, but will make you exclaim: "Thank heavens I wasn't on that flight!"
Such as: The passenger punched and left bleeding by a sleep-boxing seat mate. The cabin neighbor who wasn't wearing a diaper, but should have been. The loyal friends and family members who trundle over icy roads from Midwest town to town to pick up a loved one as destinations are changed, seemingly at will.
In addition to true stories submitted by long-suffering passengers and organized into a dozen or so categories (baggage, seniors, babies and kids, reclining seats, medical & illness and several more) the site also provides Flying Hell News, Flying Features, a gift store and a bookstore. Book titles range from travel stories, flight attendant recollections, to tips for flying more comfortably.
If nothing else, the T-shirts and other clothing items offered (including options for children and even maternity garb) could identify wearers as savvy travellers and put a little respect in the hearts of recalcitrant airline officials.
