Would you fly on plane filled with teenagers?

[973beachbum]

My DD's band of 120 HS students flew to Florida with a few chaperone's and 10 random adult that had been booked on that flight. Would you have still taken the flight?

I was talking to my DD yesterday. She was describing the flights to and back from Florida. She said that the plane was large enough to hold all of them with only a few seats left over after the kids and chaperons. So there were about 10 adults who were on the plane who had no connection to the band.

Personally I don't think I could have done it. I would have had to been majorly drugged first. As soon as I walked on the plane and saw 120 hyped up teenagers on it I would have turned around.

FYI my DD and some of her friends said that the noise level on the plane got so loud that they had headaches.

In Hell I would be on that plane for eternity.

It was my kids band. I went to every football game this year and individually they are all fantastic. But locked in a plane with all of them with no escape?

I would be the person trying to pull the exit door at 30000 feet.

Are you allowed to listen to an ipod once you reach cruising altitude? If so, then I'd be OK with it.

I have already.....with the winners of a cheerleading competition.

I wish I hadn't.

All electronic devices except cell phones are permitted once the plane has reached cruising altitude.

I was the only girl on a flight full of army men once (there were not army women in this particular group). They were all going somewhere for training. Even though I was in the middle of the plane, I got to be one of the first to get off. Although, being near that many uniforms makes me twitchy

[CarolinaKat]

Yeah.... They have the opposite affect on me. I want to get away from them, or put pretty neon colored paint or flowers or something on them. Too much sameness is not a good thing for CarolinaKat. All this being said, DBF is military and I call his uniform pants the "no sex" pants...

Uniforms look better crumpled up on the floor.

Unfortunately, my iPod did nothing to help with the noise. The same goes with noise cancelling headphones.

Never said I didn't like what was UNDER the 'no sex' pants

As long as there was plenty of scotch and the price of the ticket was right!

I think it might be better than flying on a plane filled with families, each with a crying infant. I was almost in that spot once. A few years ago, I had a February Vegas trip, and a blizzard was supposed to hit NY the day I was leaving. I was able to get a seat on a flight a day earlier, but of course had no choice of seats and got stuck in the middle seat. A guy from the back of the plane with an aisle seat said he would trade with me because the other two in my row were his traveling companions.

When I got to my new seat, the very last row, I saw that every one of the last three rows had at least one baby in it...........and they all cried at different points of the flight. Thank the Lord for the Direct TV on this flight.

Blue it was Airtran so the ticket was pretty cheap but it took off at seven in the morning so I doubt they had any booze on board.

If I had been a random business travelor and not part of their trip, there isn't be enough valium on the planet to have made me okay with flying in that plane. ;D

[Peace Of Mind]

Maybe I could if it was the football team.

Oh, you'd be surprised....

When I fly, there's definitely scotch thanks to my TSA approved 3 ounce Listerine bottle. I never noticed how much scotch looks like Listerine. Good thing they don't sniff it.

I think almost all mouth wash has alcohol in it anyway as it's main ingrediant.

But they don't make sure the little bottles are sealed?

I haven't been stopped or questioned yet. Anyway, I also have another bottle that really has mouthwash in it, and I have always reused and refilled it for traveling.

I just bet a plane flight with you Iggy would be interesting, to say the least.

I have teenagers. I love teenagers. Any large group of teenagers though is LOUD! Even a great group that is behaving are LOUD. I have not done the airplane thing, but other times I have been around large groups, I can take it in limited time periods only. If I was booked on this flight and not with the group, I would definitely request a different flight! Even pay the $50 change fee.

The last sleepover with teenagers we had a my house, there were 8 boys. It was loud! The next morning my son's beta fish was dead. I don't think the boys did anything intentional, and the fish was pretty old, I think it just died from stress due to all the noise!

[Bluerobin]

Iggy, don't pick on us fat old men!!!
I am sure the flight attendent would accomodate my request for Irish Coffee.

Why is it that some people have to talk at the top of their lungs? I honestly want to say something to them. Yes, teenagers are loud but it's just a dull roar and I can tune it out. I wish I could do the same to this nasally loud woman who monopolized the entire conversation at the top of her lungs. STFU!!!!
