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.

Anyway, yeah', if she could stop doing that, that would be great.

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.
YouTube shows this happening, brown trousers all round I bet.

what the shuddering fuck my friend was thinking when she booked air cuba, given that virgin flies to cuba, is a mystery to me.
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.
cuba is awesome though. the food sucks; only holiday where i've ever lost half a stone in a fortnight.

Flying to France a few years ago
Mid flight, we hit a small air pocket, and the plane dropped. Fell for less than a second, but absolutely terrified me. Am now a nervous flyer, not good.

If you're Bobby then your new jumpber won't fit you as you're too fat.

The truth is, nobody here has been killed in a plane crash, I doubt many people even know someone who's been killed in a plane crash, if you do get killed in a plane crash you know you end up on an island being chassed by The Others so you'll survive bein
g killed by a plane crash.
So really, it's not that bad.

I know it's hugely unlikely, and I'm far more likely to due in a million other ways
I just get nervous, it's very annoying.

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.
