I’ve done a fair bit of flying in my years but I can’t think of a single eventful tale to tell from them lol
No misbehaving passengers, no plane troubles… all pretty boring. I did miss a plane to Thailand once in 2014 because I was too busy chatting in Nandos (so before the international entry/customs in Melbourne Airport) and didn’t realise it was so close to boarding/didn’t take into account how long it’d take to get through customs and then get to the gate which was a bit of a hike. Ran but didn’t make it. That was embarrassing. The annoying thing was I was REALLY early to get to the airport.
Told family and friends the plane had been cancelled until the next day rather than admit what happened. Luckily nobody checked online to see if it was a lie… but I did admit it to my family only earlier this year what actually happened.
