What Airlines Do That Annoy Passengers... And Flight Attendants!

Flights get delayed, policies make no sense, and the first person you vent to is usually a gate agent or flight attendant. Here’s the thing: half the time, we are just as annoyed as you are, and often they aren’t even getting paid while it’s happening. This week they go through 25 things airlines do that drive passengers and crew crazy, from delays with zero information to connection times that no human could make.

Hear our rants about the people who book the aisle and window and then pass a laptop over the middle seat, We tell a story of a tiny emotional support dog, a very messy plate of chicken and rice, a surprise $200 tip, then settle the great “should airlines nickel-and-dime you” debate (with a eulogy for Spirit). Plus, a deeply personal plea for better wheelchair assistance and a request for more air vents on Airbus jump seats.
