Unforgettable Airline Travel Horror Stories

Listen To Your Doctor

I was on an overnight flight from Las Vegas back to Charlotte. I decided to sleep during the flight. It wasn’t quite like that. About an hour or so before landing, I felt a hand on my side and then a grip on my breast. I woke up (I was lying down with my head lowered) to find this man grinning, and smelling of alcohol as if he’d bathed.

He reached toward me again so I pushed away. After that, he turned and started walking away, but after just a few steps this guy collapsed. Flight attendants rushed over to investigate and a nurse was also on board to take a look. After feeling guilty, I put down my head to “sleep”, so that I could listen in on the conversation going on behind me.

This guy was allegedly 1) so far over the limit by the time he boarded the plane, that attendants refused to serve him on multiple occasions during the flight; 2) he was taking all sorts of crazy heart medication and shouldn’t even have been drinking.
