Let's share some fun airplane stories.  I was just talking to some people at lunch about this and recalled my favorite airplane ride:

It is a 3 hour flight from San Antonio TX to Atlanta GA.  I was flying back to Atlanta after doing some consulting work out in San Antonio for my previous employer.  A late flight on a Friday night, I was looking forward to sleeping for most if not all of the flight back, as I was scheduled to land at 1am.  I remember there only being two seats on the side I was sitting on, because I had the window seat and the guy sitting next to me was on the aisle.  The guy sitting next to me was an older man, gray hair, and he clearly had the same idea I did about sleeping the entire flight back.  As soon as we had taken off, he put his seat back and slouched down as far as he could.  He fell asleep before I did and quickly revealed that he had sleep apnea - he started choking and gasping for air every time he fell asleep.  He'd choke so badly that he would wake himself up for a moment before falling back asleep for more choking.  I have never come so close to killing another human being out of shear rage!  I never touched him or said anything (I really should have) but that was the worst flight I have ever been on.
