Adopted one of our kids from China. Night before we go home, two other couples and us go out to full on local restaurant. Flattened chicken, bird claw soup, all sorts of shit.
Next day all of us flyng back from Guanzhou to Phoenix. Three are puking and shitting from food. The bathroom was a travesty.
Everyone hung over.
The crowning jewel was our , our daughter non stopped cried from China-LAX-Phoenix. 20+ hours, she didnt sleep, crying, fussy, just downright pissed off. Falls asleep on final approach to Phoenix.
Doubt there was one person in Coach who would have preferred sitting in first class that day :)
Lots of grinning reading this. My worst experience - a red eye from LA to DC and these 2 asshole kids right behind us screamed, blood curdling screams, the whole time. And it wasn't because they were upset. They just loved screaming. Now sure, that's bad on its own, but there's more! My wife and I got off the plane early and made our way to our connecting gate (connecting to Charleston), where I was so damn tired I laid down on the dirty ass floor and put a shirt over my eyes. I shit you not, 10 minutes goes by and I hear the same motherfucking screams! I popped up like a fucking cursed mummy and blurted out, "what the fuck!" The whole connecting flight they did it again...screamed the whole goddamn time. It was a 6AM flight and people were pissed. At that point something about the shared experience made me laugh about it. Like other people getting all angry created levity inside me...like I was glad they shared the pain, and they didn't even know the worst of it.
Only thing I would add is babies and kids get ear infections which make them scream in an airplane.
Great piece!
Would love to meet one day & swap some war stories about flying.
In the meantime, keep writing good shit like this.

On a 16 hour flight from LAX to Melbourne, Aussie, you will smell some farts.
