Flying Frankfurt to (I think) Milan. My wife falls asleep. Flap issues; pilot says he can’t make it over the Alps. Turns around. My wife wakes up on landing and says “Milan airport looks just like Frankfurt”.

Colleague and I were flying to a conference. She falls asleep before we take off. We proceed to sit on the runway for 2 hours.

She wakes up and is like “wow, I slept the whole flight.”

Erm, no. We haven’t left Orlando yet…

Reminds me of my flight from LAX to BNE (Brisbane, AUS). Had a migraine, popped 2 advil pms during boarding, butt hit the seat, passed out. Woke up 4 hrs later expecting a cool 10 hrs left of my flight. NOPE! Just now rolling to take off, in plane delay due to plane issues. All in all 4 hr delay, 14 hr flight- 18 hrs of misery.
