    An uneventful United Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Washington, D.C., changed when a ceiling panel fell on a passenger while the plane landed on Wednesday, video of the incident shows.
    The rough landing into Dulles International Airport caused the loose ceiling panel to fall. One passenger told FOX5 that the “top came off” and was “falling on people.”’
    The same witness told the news station that the plane was “braking hard” and the flight attendants were unable to help the passenger remove the panel until the plane slowed.
    Luckily, no one was injured during the incident.

    ‘I thought we were done for’ - passengers on Ryanair flight describe emergency landing

    https://www.irishtimes.com/news/irel...ding-1.3565435

    A number of passengers on board the Ryanair flight from Dublin to Croatia that had to make an emergency landing in Germany have described their experiences.

    Dozens of passengers were taken to hospital complaining of headache and earache and suffering from nausea after the plane depressurised rapidly.

    Sarah McGarry, from Ratoath in Co Meath, spoke to The Irish Times from the basement at Frankfurt Hahn airport where she had been staying overnight.

    She explained the moment when the cabin started losing pressure:

    “We get on the plane, we’re flying and next of all the oxygen mask comes down, we’re left in darkness for 15 minutes, there’s no reassurance just people shouting ‘emergency, emergency’.

    “There was a newborn baby and children on the flight, people are screaming and we don’t know what’s going on for 15 minutes . . . Then finally we’re told that we’re going to Germany.”

    Another passenger, who did not want to be named, said “it was really scary, there were three to four minutes (that felt like an hour) when the plane was falling fast and I thought we were done for”.

    The passenger, who was travelling with three young children, said people were bleeding from the eardrums when they landed.

    Ms McGarry, who was travelling to Zadar for a holiday with her boyfriend, said her eardrum burst during the descent. However, she did not go to the hospital in an ambulance because she was not told if she would be back in time to catch the rescheduled flight, which was due to take off at 9.30am on Saturday.

    “My eardrum burst when the plane dropped and I was told I’d have to travel 70km to be seen at the hospital because that there were no doctors there available. I wasn’t reassured if I went that I’d be able to get back on the flight.

    “I chose not to go because if I travelled to the hospital I wasn’t reassured that I’d get back on the same flight and with the same passengers.”

    Atlanta airport reveals it spent nearly $4M on dog bathrooms




    Officials for the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport recently revealed that its seven new Service Animal Relief Areas, which were installed last year, cost a total of $3.9 million.

    The airport installed the seven dog bathrooms, one in each concourse, last summer, but the cost to construct them was made public only this week, Fox 5 Atlanta reports.

    Airport administrators credited the high price tag to the complexities of building inside a 24-hour facility, which restricts construction to the overnight hours. Additionally, they said existing facilities had to be torn down in order to make room for the new dog bathrooms.

    The Federal Department of Transportation mandates large airports have Service Animal Relief Areas.

    “In order for ATL to be in compliance with federal ADA (American with Disabilities Act) standards, these relief areas had to be built,” a spokesperson for the airport told Fox News.

    “The total cost for building the seven relief areas was absorbed through airport funding, not taxpayer dollars, in the amount of $3.9 million, which is reimbursable through PFCs (Passenger Facility Charges).”

    Passengers complain of bedbugs on flights out of Newark airport

    http://www.fox5ny.com/news/passenger...-out-of-newark

    POSTED: JUL 20 2018 04:07PM EDT
    UPDATED: JUL 20 2018 04:27PM EDT
    NEW JERSEY (FOX5NY) - Passengers on flights from Newark Liberty International Airport to India are complaining about bed bug infested seats.

    In one case this week a family complained their infant was covered in bites and bleeding by the time the 17-hour flight landed in Mumbia.

    Pravin Tonsekar tweeted Air India photos of his seat with apparent bed bugs on them.

    Air India replied with a comment that it is: "sorry to hear this. Sharing the details with our maintenance team for corrective measures in this regard."

    Another passenger tweeted to the airline that his family few out of Newark on July 18 and his wife and three children were covered in bed ug bites all over their body. He asked, "Is this what we paid $10,000 for???"

    He says a doctor has prescribed 10 days of medicine on what was supposed to be a vacation for them. Air India also apologized to him in a reply.

    A report out of India claims the national owned airline received other complaints about the bugs in business class seats earlier this week.

    Shocking moment female passenger wees on the floor of a Wizz Air flight from Britain to Poland because the toilet was engaged

    The woman was filmed relieving herself in the cabin of the flight from London Luton to Polish capital Warsaw

    THIS is the shocking moment a female passenger squats and pees in the galley of a Wizz Air (No, that's not a gag - AF) flight from the UK to Poland.

    The woman is seen relieving herself on the flight from London Luton to Warsaw while complaining that she was not allowed to use the toilet during take off.

    The woman is seen squatting against a wall while urinating in the galley

    According to reports, the plane was fuelling up and passengers were temporarily forbidden from using the loo.

    In the shocking footage, the young woman is seen squatting against a wall while chatting with a friend on the phone.

    By her feet are several paper towels and a large pool of urine.

    With her knickers and leggings pulled down to her knees, she tells the person on the phone: "You have to help me before the flight takes off. I am peeing in the aircraft.

    The passenger was speaking to someone on the phone while she urinated

    "I asked them (cabin crew) if I could use the toilet, but they said I could not right now. So I am peeing in the galley. Right in front of them."

    The brazen woman adds: "The police are coming because it is my fault. All my fault."

    Cabin crew members can be heard berating the woman, with one saying: "Are you being serious? That is disgusting. You are a grown woman."

    The passenger replies: "Yeh, I know. I did ask."

    Staff members can be heard shouting at the woman as she pees all over the cabin floor

    The man then adds: "So you think it is okay to piss on the floor?"

    There is still no confirmation as to what happened to woman after the police arrived.

    Wizz Air is a Hungarian low-cost airline that serves many cities across Europe as well as some destinations in North Africa and the Middle East.

    A spokesperson for the airline said: “On Wizz Air flight W6 1309 from Warsaw to London Luton a passenger was reported to become unruly during landing, ignoring crew instructions.

    “The cabin crew handled the situation as they are trained to do and reported the passenger’s behaviour to the respective authorities.

    “After disembarkation, while waiting for the authorities’ arrival, the situation escalated.

    “The aircraft was refuelling and therefore the lavatories could not be used, as is standard procedure.

    “As a result, the passenger’s behaviour became aggressive and offensive towards the crew.

    “Safety is our top priority and the airline has zero tolerance for abusive behaviour. This is now a matter for the police.”

    It's disgusting. We're regulars at a few places and the employees and a few other regulars know us. I find it sad that, on more than one occasion, I've been asked why get so dressed up. I was wearing jeans, ffs. Yes, I also had on a nice top (ironed) and was well accessorized but I would never consider jeans dressed up. I've gotten to the point where I won't leave unless Mr A and the boys have on collared shirts. Golf shirts are fine but they've tried to leave in ratty t-shirts. Last year they thought they were hilarious when, after I gave them a particularly harsh tongue lashing about having pride in yourself, they all put on their tuxedo t-shirts.

    Anyway, it's about having pride in yourself. You don't have to dress up. A little grooming, a iron (or even a little handheld steamer) go long, long way. Especially considering that most people look like hobos when they leave the house.



    $#@!ing animal. I would've pushed her over into her own piss.

    Going over the pole from Germany to Alaska, I was a passenger in a large plan doing air refueling. They had to do a break away maneuver (they push over quickly) while I was asleep. ya, I had my seatbelt on, but it was a rude awakening as we were near zero gravity.

    When Airline CEOs Try the Cheap Seats

    https://www.wsj.com/articles/when-ai...ats-1532441990

    By Scott McCartney
    July 24, 2018 10:19 a.m. ET

    Have you ever been vacuum-packed into a shrunken coach seat wishing the airline CEO had to endure the same discomfort?

    We did that for you, sort of. The Middle Seat asked the chief executives of the big three U.S. airlines to plop down in the back of one of their airplanes and explain why they think the skimpy confines of coach today are acceptable.

    Two agreed. Delta CEO Ed Bastian, 6-foot-3, arranged for an interview on his company’s most recently reconfigured Boeing 777-200 in Atlanta. American CEO Doug Parker, also 6-foot-3, snuggled into a coach seat on a reconfigured 777-200 in a Dallas-Fort Worth airport hangar.

    One refused: United’s Oscar Munoz declined to be interviewed in a coach seat. Asked why, United declined to comment.

    Messrs. Bastian and Parker fit, although knees were kissing distance from the seat in front. Neither had to contend with a middle-seat neighbor to rub shoulders and sides or a passenger reclining in front of them.

    Neither apologizes for packing in more, skinnier seats. Their message: If you want more space, buy it.

    U.S. airlines in recent years have improved on many fronts, from reducing lost baggage to consistently earning profits. The biggest backslide, at least from the reader emails I receive constantly, is standard coach accommodations.

    'My boss will call your boss!': Aer Lingus pilot gets into comical stand-off with New York air traffic controller after being made to circle the airport for an hour

    http://www.mr-mehra.com/2018/07/my-b...er-lingus.html

    7 HRS AGO 2 MINUTEREAD
    An Aer Lingus pilot and air traffic control got into a heated exchange after taking off from New York's JFK airport on Sunday

    An Aer Lingus pilot has found himself in a crabby exchange with a New York air traffic controller after the two men started arguing about the best flight route to take.
    The tense exchange, which was recorded on the radio, started just moments after the Irish pilot took off from JFK airport en route to Dublin on Sunday.
    The pilot was made to circle around the airport for an hour by the air traffic controller after opting not to take the flight path because he thought the weather conditions were unsafe.

    In the three minutes of audio, the air traffic controller can be heard radioing the Aer Lingus flight - referred to as Shamrock 104 Heavy - after takeoff.
    The pilot was supposed to take off and fly left across the Atlantic, but he spotted a storm in that direction and opted to head straight while he awaited further instructions.
    The controller appeared to become agitated as he told the pilot that all other flights had flown through the storm, insisting that it was 'lightest category'.
    'Shamrock 104 Heavy, it's light. I have six categories of weather here, that's the lightest category. I've had no adverse ride reports south of the airport by 10 miles,' the controller said.

    When the pilot questioned why he couldn't fly in one certain direction, the controller said: 'You've got yourself in this position…'
    After going back and forth, the pilot was finally given the all clear to carry on.
    'Before I go, we didn't create any situation, we flew the aircraft in a safe manner and my boss will be in contact with your boss. Good day,' the pilot said.
    The controller hit back: 'Everybody on the airport is turning left. I mean, there's not too many options here in New York.'
    The audio finishes with the pilot saying: 'It's not my first day in New York, it's not my first day in an aircraft. I did what I had to do. Good day.'
