Delays expected
Today, I finished watching an entire movie after boarding the plane, before the plane even took off. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Today, I waited patiently in the airport as my flight was repeatedly delayed. After 5 long hours I approached one of the attendees to discover that the plane had left 5 minutes ago. FML

Today, I was stuck at the airport overnight waiting for my flight for about 5 hours. I then went and looked at the departures board. It said that my flight had already departed. FML

This FML is from back in 2015 but it's good stuff

Chilled out
Today, I went to the airport a full three hours before my flight departure time just to be on the safe side. I ended up having the best nap of my life and missing my flight. FML
Jetlagged
Today, I'm stuck at the airport overnight, because my phone didn't update its time zone after flying in, so I watched my train leave, thinking mine wasn't due for another hour. FML

Today, I got my own row on an almost full transatlantic flight. All it took was having food poisoning two hours into the flight. FML

Gated and confused
Today, I checked in for my flight, made it through TSA, bought food, and sat at the gate for an hour. I only realized I was sitting at the wrong gate when boarding for another flight finished and everyone had left. I ran to the correct gate, but it was too late. Despite me pleading, the plane was already taxiing to the runway. FML

Today, due to a scheduling error, I spent an entire day and night in an airport, over 30 hours in total. Just as I arrived at the gate, I was informed that my flight had been delayed for another 2 hours. FML

Dressed for success
Today, I went on an overnight airplane flight. I wanted to be comfy so I took off my shorts, threw a blanket over myself, and slept. When the lights came back on, I ran to the bathroom before they served food. After using the bathroom, I noticed I hadn't put my shorts back on. FML

First time?
Today, I have an eight hour transatlantic flight and the person sitting next to me has already filled his third sick bag. This wouldn't be quite so bad were we not still at the terminal with passengers still boarding the plane. FML

Today, I was the only passenger on a completely booked flight to have all their luggage left behind in another country. FML

Imagine the plane's FML Today, I was sitting around about to take off when I realized someone could have watched an entire movie by the time I was ready. FML

Try watching three movies in a row waiting to take off. Only to find out you won't be going anywhere.

Maybe it was a mechanic taking extra time to make sure you had a safe flight. Delays do suck, but it's better to be sure everything is good before you leave the ground.... there's no pulling over at that altitude.

Then what happened? Did you partake in the miracle of human flight? Did the chair you were sitting in fly through the ******* air? Did it land in a place that you wanted to be, but was too far to travel to without sitting in a chair in the sky? YDI because you suck.

Ouch. That's happened to me before. Someone had a medical emergency and had to get off before we took off. That's fine. But their whole family got off too. And the airline had to take alllll their luggage off. There were, like, eight people in total getting off the plane.

oh no, someone had a bad accident requiring medical attention, and their family very rudely got off the plane to go to hospital with this person. dont get me started on that dastardly airline company taking their luggage off the plane rather than send it to another country without the owners on the plane, that's horrible. I hope you got some sort of compensation for the difficult time you must have endured through this family's suffering! get over it

Just be grateful you didn't get the line "I'm sorry but the in flight entertainment system only operates once we are in the air"

What happened next? Did you fly? Did you part take in the miracle of human flight? Did you sit in a chair in the sky? (Louis C.K.)

I get your frustration. But hopefully the movie you watched only took 1,5 hour. And if that is the case, your delay wasn't that long!
