For me, it’s easily the time I had the middle (”friendship”) seat in the back row up against the bulkhead (read: no reclining). The guy in the window seat next to me was huge. 100+ pounds overweight, overflowing into my seat from every angle.

Then he fell asleep for most of the 6-hour flight.

And he snored. Loudly. And was VERY flatulent in his blissful slumber.

What a hellish flight.

On a flight from London to the US, a little girl cried and whined for the entire flight with her parents doing nothing to try to distract her with something positive or try to calm her down for the entire flight. This wasn’t the typical crying baby on a plane story – the crying girl was 8 YEARS OLD. Her 5 year old sister (who was a more likely candidate for crying on a plane) was quiet and a perfect little passenger.

I sat by a huge huge man on a flight from LAX to the South East (about 6 hours).
He had the window and I had the middle seat.
His legs were so huge that his thigh reached about 6 inches into my seat area. On top of this he was nervously bouncing his leg almost the entire flight, which was rubbing up against my leg with every jiggle.
I felt really awkward but I knew he couldn’t really help his size.
Sucked for me though!
