40+ People Are Sharing Their Worst Airplane Travel Stories, and We're Stunned

If you're anything like us, then you are eagerly awaiting the ability to hop on a plane and travel again. But you may want to get yourself ready to experience some of those awkward and often hilarious situations you may find yourself in when aboard an airplane. To get prepared, we thought we would look at a few of the worst airplane travel stories ever shared online! We hope you enjoy the show...

Look Out!

No matter where the airport is located, at some point, there was wilderness there. This naturally means that there are animals that are floating around that could potentially find their way onto the tarmac.

So this is not an unusual occurrence though it must have been frightening when that plane hit the deer. We just wonder how the deer wasn't able to see the plane coming and get out of the way.

Language Barrier

Sometimes the cheapest way to fly overseas is to use the national airlines. The only downfall of this is that they tend to make announcements in their language. So if you are unfamiliar with it, you could have a few moments of worry.

This person who was flying on Thai airlines had a few legitimate concerns. When things started going a little crazy, he wasn't sure what was going on. Good thing that the rest of the passengers had some idea so his fears were assuaged in the end.

Disturbing Disease

It is never fun when you're traveling on an airplane and someone is noticeably sick. But when it is a serious illness that not even a doctor onboard could help with, it can be even more terrifying.

We can't imagine how the other passengers were feeling when this person became deathly ill. Everybody reacted calmly, and eventually, the scare was over. However, according to this poster, it sounds like everyone acted too calmy.

Years of Experience

Just like with any career, having a lifetime of experience in the aviation industry is sure to give you tons of interesting stories. The only decision then is which one you choose to tell to everyone.

This gentleman had quite the experience with things that would make most of us reconsider our career choices. From something small like a bug flying out of the console to a lot more terrifying episodes like the cargo door dropping open.
