Flying in AMERICA Has Become a DISASTER — And It Keeps Getting WORSE

Flying is supposed to get you from one place to another. Somehow, the airport experience now feels like surviving a collection of completely unrelated problems before you even reach your destination. In this episode of Everyday Perspective, travelers share some genuinely ridiculous airport and airline experiences: being questioned just to buy a bottle of water, paying for a seat only to have it changed, navigating airports that seem designed to confuse you, damaged and stolen luggage, indefinite delays, being questioned at premium access when other passengers weren't, and one incredibly serious cockpit emergency. Some of these stories are funny because the situations are so absurd. Others are frustrating. And one of them is a reminder of how quickly an ordinary flight can become something much more serious. What is the worst airport or airline experience you've ever had? Tell me in the comments.
