flight history

I thought we had a million miles flown thread around here somewhere.

To avoid jacking your thread @Himeno what was the ONE best flight amongst them and your ONE worst? 😁

Hard to say any single flight was the best. A number of flights have had good parts (such as getting an F meal on a BA flight to Asia because they miscounted the J meals when taking orders).

As for worst... there has also been bad parts for a number of flights, but I guess the one that sticks in my mind the most would be the Delta sectors of my first solo overseas trip in 2005.
That trip was a SYD-SFO return on NZ, then a series of one way flights around the US for a month. Each booked separately on different carriers (depending on route/timing/pricing). I had Delta for FLL-xSLC-OAK.
When I checked in at FLL (after getting a shuttle up from Miami Beach), they put me on standby, despite having a confirmed seat, and didn't tell me. It being my first trip, I was a bit confused when they called me to the desk shortly after I got to the gate and handed me a new boarding pass.
While waiting for boarding, I noticed a loud kid running around the gate area. That same kid then ended up in the seat behind me to SLC, kicking the seat the entire time.
The flight got into SLC late, which made my connection a 5 minute run to a gate on the next concourse.
I made the connection, only to be told that the flight was being held for other late arriving pax.
Then that kid appeared, sitting next to me this time, and vomiting the entire flight to OAK.


Another coughpy flight (well trip in general) was 2010 trip when I had multiple migraines during the trip. I'd had an event in Orlando, then was flying to SEA via DFW. Overnight at Seattle, then onto CDG via JFK. I got a (bad) migraine mid flight MCO-DFW. Rushed to a rest room upon landing where I vomited before going to the gate for the SEA flight. The 7 hours at a Seatac hotel didn't help and I felt terrible on the JFK-CDG flight (not to mention the Paris subway to the hotel).
The migraine also didn't help much when trying to find the Australian Embassy in Paris to vote in the 2010 election.
