I have had 2-once, we were flying into NYC and the plane just starts bouncing up and down like a damn yo yo and then the other time, we were like 10 minutes from touching down at LAX and the plane starts to shake like no one' business.

AirLanker............

Turbulance, hate it. I always hate the sensation of landing.

But the worse, having to sit next to a very gassy person.

Flew through storms on a propeller plane, bouncing a lot, until finally we just dropped what seemed like hundreds of feet. The stewardess screamed

But we were fine!

I've never been on a plane.

Andy we need you on a plane so you can go coast to coast showing people how to shake what mama gave em!

What is AirLanker?

i think he means Air Lanka, the national airline of Sri Lanka.

None of u had ur worse flight yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......Wait til im sat next 2 ya with kid rock on my ipod....I`ll show u a fucked up flight.

i've been through all sorts of turbulence, cheap aircraft and third-world airports. the worst flight is any time i am in earshot of screaming, crying children, which happens almost every time.

From San Francisco to Hawaii - so, ya know, over the endless expanse of the Pacific Ocean - flying along the edge of a storm (that the pilot had already adjusted course to avoid) the plane hit turbulence and a downdraft at the same time. At least that's what they tried to explain had happened when we landed. We had already been experiencing turbulence, which doesn't really bother me. And thankfully they had required people to keep their seatbelts fastened, because all of a sudden plane went bounce, bounce, drop! Felt like we were a rock skipping across the water that unexectedly went over a waterfall. The entire cabin freaked out, stewardesses included, and two people still hit their heads pretty hard because they didn't have their belts on. I've flown a lot in a lot of different size planes and that experience was by far the most extreme. For the rest of the flight with every little bump I would white knuckle the armrest and you could hear people around the cabin whimpering and moaning.

Other than that, when I was still a teenager I had an experince on a flight from Oakland to Portland, OR on Alaska Airlines with a PSYCHO stewardess. I was young and noboby believed me, at least not until we got a letter from the airline apologizing, stating the the employee no longer worked for the company. Evidently she had some kind of breakdown on the flight, she was cursing and mocking people, and she LITERALLY threw the peanuts I asked for at my chest as she walked down the aisle.

Flying to Mexico once we hit turbulence and some of the overhead bins fell open... The Air Hostess sauntered to the back of the plane, strapped on a TOOL BELT!!! and walked back to FIX THE PLANE... MID FLIGHT!!!!

yes, that is very similar to what I went through

I guess those downdrafts are common, and not surprisingly, most dangerous during takeoff and landing. But I have really only experienced one that was awful.

If that ever happened to me, I would NEVER get on a plane again

Where do I start.......

I have bad experiences all the time on planes. It's some kind of Karma.

1) Waiting for plane in Seattle. Airline person gets on the speaker and says. "Your flight has been delayed because there's a hole in the plane. They are fixing it."

2) Got on a plane L.A. to San Jose where they started the plane when we were on it. It sounded like a hoopty trying to start then it just wouldn't. Two guys show up in hazmat like suits with a giant black book and start messing with some computer on the plane. They ask us to get off cause they have to reboot. WTF!!!! I got off and asked for another flight. Mind you while I was waiting to get on there was a soccer team waiting to get on. First Omen.

3) BUT my first bad experience was when I was 5 years old. L.A. to Burbank. There was a hail storm or something. The lights were flickering off and on. The plane was tilting side to side. One of the "stewardesses" threw up.

Yeah. That made me hate flying. FOREVER!!!!!!!! But I still do it.

Something always happens before I fly too. It's some kind of cosmic joke. Last time I went to the U.K. I almost couldnt' because of the Icelandic Volcano.

This year I went to a business meeting in Chicago and the day before we were flying back home, our airline cancelled a bunch of flights because on one flight a hole appeared in the plane. It was all over youtube. And of course they ok'd our flight but it was not direct.
