senorsoupe Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 People who don't pay attention to the security instructions and then are scrambling to figure out what they need to do when they get there. Also people who arrive at the last minute and then have a meltdown when they miss their flight or there is any potential mini-delay that could cause them to miss their flight. I was in the airport security line with plenty of time for my flight once and it was pretty busy, the people behind me were raging because their flight was about to leave but they had arrived late. I am also one of those people who arrives ridiculously early for my flights, I would rather get there, sort out the checkin/bag drop and then security with plenty of time and then grab a pint looking at the planes. Much less stressful than being in a rush to do everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Have we had the family of obese Rangers supporters kitted out head to toe in XXXXL Rangers gear, drinking pints of Tennants at 4am before heading off to Benidorm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 It always strikes me as strange how airlines are happy for you to wander about when you're hurtling through the air at 500mph 35,000 feet off the ground, but throw an eppy if you dare to move when you're taxiing along at 5mph. Anyway, on the subject of airport seethe... the Airport (I think) documentary was hilarious when stupid people missed their flights or didn't the correct documentation.

Unleash The Nade Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Now back in sunny Scotland , after the Ryanair crew got revenge on all the t shirted , flip flopped arseholes who instantly became dehydrated and feeling faint once the flight delay was announced . After what turned out to be a 45 minute delay and eventually airborne , the air con was turned down to “ fucking Baltic” setting and all the whinging b*****ds sat chittering for the next two and a half hours.

Boghead ranter Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Arriving in Turkey one time, typical scenario there of at least 2 flights arriving within minutes of each other, and only 3 or 4 Immigration booths open. Massive OF-clad family group had been on the flight, elder bloke is getting wheelchair assistance through the airport. Airport staff take him to front of queue, which is mildly annoying, but can let it go. Until he gets to the front, and shouts back to the rest of his tribe to 'Come on up tae', and suddenly all 14 of them are pushing in at the front of the queue. Then, we're all waiting at the baggage reclaim, he has a Lazarus-like miracle, and manages to get up out of his wheelchair, and walk outside for a smoke. c**t.

Those clips from Airline are great. The best is the one where two people who were in the bar blamed the screens for missing their flights: "The strategy you chose has failed you" is a cracking line.

flyingscot Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 The airline clips are really funny at times. Used to love the people who came late and went mental. The episode on Sept 11 2001 where some customers have a go at the staff about flights being grounded is quite something with the benefit of hindsight!

The Golden God Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Despise people who wear full tracksuits/other bammy clothes to the airport. Surely the last place you want to stand out is airport security? Was a few in front of me last time I went through Glasgow Airport and shockingly they all got picked for the "random" searches.

19QOS19 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Brexit could be a good thing when it comes to travel. Hopefully the higher prices prevent a whole lot of scheme goblins from affording a holiday abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 This a story was doing the rounds several years ago concerning Chic Murray and an irate American at Edinburgh Airport. Both were waiting to board a flight to London when a announcement came over the tannoy that for technical reasons there would be a 30 minute delay before boarding. "God dammit, this place must be the asshole of England" shouted the American at the top of his voice. Quick as a flash Chic replied : "Are you just passing through" ..?

Newbornbairn Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Saw a Facebook poll for a Benidorm group today (don't ask) that showed support for Brexit about 60%, Remain about 20% and 20% undecided. What the actual f**k? These are the same people complaining about the exchange rate and how everything is so much more expensive. Can't they see the link?
