LaGuardia Airport New York. Jet Blue broke me! That's what I told my husband on the phone after I watched my connecting flight back out from the gate. My 1st flight was late and the gate to the connecting flight was far away and I ran to it. I missed it by a minute. Nodded off in a chair until the next day when I caught a flight.
----- On a good note, the next time, the flight was cancelled due to toilet problems. We were offered hotels for the night and everyone rushed to get in line. I was near the back. I watched the people ahead of me go to a shuttle bus to their hotel. They ran out of crappy hotels so the rest of us walked to our rooms in the hotel at JFK in New York. Noice!

Sun Express. They couldn't communicate with Frankfurt airport for some reason after boarding. So we sat in the plane. For 5 hours. Spent 10 hours on a 5 hour flight. Flight attendant looked at me but didn't offer me anything, but offered everyone else on the plane, even the people next to me. Most likely because I was the only non-white person on the plane. Then I got COVID from the person sitting next to me. Yippee

Not me, but a fellow passenger. Domodedovo airport, Moscow (pre-war), mid winter, 3am with an incoming blizzard (I'm talking from that days 0C dropping to -20C and heavy snowfall) A young, possibly very drunk russian girl is snoozing in the chair at the gate, waking up only for boarding. She's got the window seat next to me. She plumps into the seat and doses off. Okay, I'm in the middle seat, looking out the window watching the heavy snowfall and realising we're running late. The plane is starting to get snow on it, so they proceed to drag some sort of contrapment near the plane and spray the entire plane with some pink foam (to remove the snow? To prevent frost? No idea). Cue the drunk russian girl waking just in time to look out the window and see - bubblegum pink. She mumbled something in russian (I don't speak the language but I'm sure it was something referencing a deity or lack of one) and went right back to sleep.

Worst: Toronto Pearson Airport. I was over-tired, eyes were stinging, head was pounding, muscles aching, skin felt sore. I just wanted to collapse on the floor against the wall and sleep but not sure if that was cool with the airport. There was a very long corridor that seemed to never end. Custom agents said to go down to a shuttle. Seats all full. Finally get to a lounging area. Decided to nap on window sill, since the seats had arm rests. My gate changed. We had to stand around a corridor, no seats. What seemed like a 2 hours later a door opened and we were ushered to this new gate area, still under construction. There was just a tarp separating passengers and contractors using a very loud drill and jackhammer. I couldn't hear announcements through all that racket. It was intensifying my headache and irritability. Staff were not very understanding. Tortured with sleep deprivation and extreme exhaustion. Scariest was in Germany. Had a nap and slept through a gate change announcement. I had 20 minutes to find the gate on the other side of the airport. At least one other lady was also in a panic with me. I was having a full on asthmatic attack. The German gate agents thought I was just hyperventilating.
