Funny airline passenger complaints

Cape Town - After months, possibly years of silence, an Air New Zealand passenger, Jerermy Chaston, decided it was finally time to lay his bottled-up complaint on the carrier's Facebook page. 
While you might have expected it to have something to do with legroom, or rude staff, or dirty bathrooms, you know, the things people would normally feel the need to raise, Chaston's complaint was a lot more... let's say original:
An out of whack cheese to cracker ratio.

After a nightmarish culinary experience on board a Virgin Atlantic flight from Mumbai to Heathrow in December 2008, a passenger decided to write a letter of complaint to Sir Richard Branson himself. Including a photograph of unidentifiable dishes on his tray table, the anonymous passenger writes:
"Look at this Richard. Just look at it. I imagine the same questions are racing through your brilliant mind as were racing through mine on that fateful day. What is this? Why have I been given it? What have I done to deserve this? And, which one is the starter, which one is the desert?"
The letter continues for quite a few substantial paragraphs, detailing in colourful terms just why the experience was so awful, with the following probably being the apex of hilarity:
"I’ll try and explain how this felt. Imagine being a twelve year old boy Richard. Now imagine it’s Christmas morning and you’re sat their with your final present to open. It’s a big one, and you know what it is. It’s that Goodmans stereo you picked out the catalogue and wrote to Santa about. Only you open the present and it’s not in there. It’s your hamster Richard. It’s your hamster in the box and it’s not breathing."
Branson found the detailed complaint so compelling, he actually gave the disappointed customer a call to personally appologise. Read the entire letter on the Telegraph... you won't be disappointed.

Complaint over having to sit next to an obese passenger goes viral

In one of the most legendary viral posts to ever grace the internet, blogger Rich Wiskens penned a detailed complaint to Jetstar about his unpleasant experience sitting next to a man as big as 'an infant hippopotamus' and who smelled like 'blue cheese' and a 'Mumbai slum', despite having spent an extra $25 for an emergency row seat.
His graphic and creative letter takes readers right into the very depths of his misery, as he describes having to prepare for a 127 Hours-like escape just to leave his seat. After various failed attempts to convince cabin crew to help him move, he realised he would just have to accept his fate, but didn't leave it without a fight: 'so that's why I'm demanding a full refund of my ticket, including the $25 for an emergency row seat... I'm also looking to be compensated for the physical pain and mental suffering caused by being enveloped in human blubber for four hours."
Jetstar offered him $100 compensation as well as refunding his outlay for the emergency seat.
