Funnest thing seen in airport/flight

[Peter Wilding]

What's the funniest you have seen,
I guess for me it was the passenger that refused to wear anything but pants

There was someone in business class this morning tucking into half an avocado while boarding was going on. Had a little salt shaker and everything. They are American, which made me realise how bad premium cabins must be in the USA.

Either had I before I joined AFF.

I was in the tin-shed end of TXL waiting for a flight when the members of an Eastern European men's volley ball team came through headed for the gate. At first the crowd thought they were a local basketball team (everyone about 2m or taller) and started to gather creating a processionary way; and then they realised they were relatively unknown volley ballers from the Czech Republic and melted away just as quickly. You could see the look of disappointment not only on the face of the pax, but on the players as well!

People that wear rubber thongs.

Saw this gorgeous yound lady at T3 yesterday. She was wearing a beautiful white dress. Then I made the mistake of looking down. Cheap rubber thongs.

Yes I know, I know. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. It was funny though and topped it all off watching a guy with his carry-on all over the floor outside Qantas lounge changing his rubber thongs as he wasn't allowed entry into Qantas lounge.

This might be more surreal than funny but I've had many laughs about it in the years since. About 10 years ago arrived in Sydney and ducked into the men's toilets at the western end of the T2 arrivals terminal. Bloke came in right after me and stood adjacent to me at the urinal. He made a rather witty comment on the nature of our common business and it was then I realised I was having a piss with the Dalai lama. Given the TV footage of him I was glad to see that he did wash his hands thoroughly.

In many terminals, the area within the terminal, but directly in front of the coughpit, is obscured from the passenger lounge area. We've been flashed a number of times from there over the years. It can either make, or ruin, your day....

Is that something they will do then post it on AFF.

Me passing gas on the flight from ADL - MEL and hoping it does not result in the ick factor.
Flight wasn't too full, so I stood up as soon as the plane neared gate 7/9 MEL dom, and hoped further nothing would leak!
Then bumped my way to door 1left of the plane, ran...
Made it to the loos near gate 9 at MEL dom, and got there just right on time.
My first MEL dom airport big thingo.
Overindulged in the grilled cheese at ADL QP.
Never again will I eat that thing.
Maybe grog does have its good points, the standing one is better than the sitting one.
No fun esp if people start to notice the farts in flight!

On a different flight/note, a dad playing baggaboo with his son for an hour and 30 mins very bumpy delayed flight MEL - ADL yesterday.
Not me, as I am a confirmed single pooch.
Big thunders and rain, had an informal double take (turn around) over the SA Coorong as ADL airport was closed temporarily and so my plane had to slow down its flight.
First one (turn around I ever felt).

I'm guessing we aren't talking lasers here

I was thinking something to do with moons!

Actually had a marriage proposal on a flight once, thought that was only on TV.
A few rows in front of me...FA gave man the mike and he spilled his guts...she said YES luckily.
