Terrible Travel Experiences

[KarateKen]

I think most of us have been there, the trip that got ruined because of a nightmare at the airport, and/or a miserable flight.  I have several, including this summer when I was stranded during that computer error by Microsoft which caused flight problems all across the country. I spent two and a half days in Salt Lake City trying to get a flight out of there.  I am currently on a streak of 15 consecutive flights that were either delayed or cancelled.  

Let's hear about your worst travel experiences, just in time for Christmas!

I have been really fortunate in this area. I think the worst travel experience I've had was just being stuck overnight on a connecting flight, but not to any other disastrous effects.
