Worst landing
at a wet and windy airport, came down like a leaf in a gale, slammed on to the runway and then straightened up suddenly, which was the worst bit.
Ryanair is fine as long as you remember you are cattle. Once flew back with them and because the plane was late they never bothered to do the overweight luggage ripoff, result.

Plane out of the Masaai Mara during the short wet
The "airfield" (actual field) was waterlogged and they couldn't stop the plane in case it sank. Boarding a moving plane is... interesting. That, or the first time doing a stall turn. Watching your propellor slowly come to a stop several thousand feet in the air is fairly unnerving.

After the scary squiff landing we had
I did a little searching to see if this was common (it is). It seems a 747 is designed to be able to land at up to 45 degrees crabwise and be fine, due to it being unable to roll that close to the ground as it bangs the outer engine into the floor, and people get upset if that happens.

it was a 40 year old retired russian plane. the safety instructions were all in russian, the seats were like concrete - for a LONG flight - and when i asked for a diet coke, the equivalent thing that was served came in a grey can with russian on the side of it. i swear it hissed at me when i opened it. and the contents were grey. unbelievably horrific.

Stanstead to Riga on Ryanair.
That airline makes even a two hour milk run seem like the trials of Hercules. Crammed in, no space, no refreshment, uncomfortable chairs. I felt like I was on a cattle train. Never, never again. Ever.

Scariest experience was coming down at St John's, Newfoundland in a blizzard. The runway starts at the edge of a cliff and the plane was being buffeted about by the most extraordinary turbulence; the engines were frequently being gunned to stop us smashing into the cliff. When we actually landed on the ice and snow laden runway I swear to God we started slewing sideways.

Airline pilots being what they are, I suspect that guy had one hand on the stick, one wrapped around a cup of tea and half an eye on an air-stewardess' legs during that landing. I, however, have genuinely never been so certain that I was going to end up on the news.
