25 Airline passengers who had a bad flight: 'Plane turned around 20 minutes from my destination, 5 hours into the flight'

Although many flights go smoothly, it seems like there's always at least one or two issues every time you fly. Sometimes you get stuck in long, long security lines. I've gotten through them in 5 minutes at the fastest and 3.5 hours at the slowest. Maybe everything is flowing fine and you breeze through security, but then your flight gets delayed and rescheduled. And then 90 minutes later, there's an announcement: they're going to need 2 more hours before they start boarding passengers. The long wait begins… hope you brought a good book or have a nice long podcast to listen to! 

These people shared the mildly infuriating things that've happened to them while in airports and on planes, from people hogging all the seats at the gate to being forced to buy overpriced airport food. 

Next, read about this 43-year employee whose company messed with his vacation time, so he decided to take 10 weeks of PTO and then refuse to come back for less than $1 million: "It's the day Jimmy is supposed to return. He doesn't."
