45 Hilarious Conversations People Overheard On A Plane And Decided Were Too Good Not To Share

Hour long plane trip from Dothan Alabama to Atlanta. Sat in front of 2 guys arguing the validity of demon possession. One believed that it wasn't a possession per se, but merely the devil interfering with your thoughts. The other believed it was an actual demon possession, and he knew people that did exorcisms which solved the problem. It was a fascinating philosophical discussion. I was entertained for the full hour.

The world is different down south.

Two mormon missionaries trying to convert the sweet, naive man sitting between them the entire flight.

Sitting next to a young woman and her boyfriend on a flight about to depart to San Diego. They were going for a romantic getaway, and apparently she decided to “find God” on the way to the airport. What did that mean? Well, she decided that they weren’t having anymore sex until he married her, but kissing, hand holding and other PG rated intimacy were perfectly ok.

Boyfriend tried his best not to flip out, but you could tell he was very agitated. An hour later we’re in the air and they’re both awkwardly sitting there without saying a word. She gasps and starts crying rather loudly. Apparently he logged into the planes WiFi, canceled the hotel and booked himself a turnaround flight home. Pretty sure they were done as well.

Pilot accidentally left the intercom switch on. The whole plane heard him say “Ooo. That’s weird”. Nothing else. Plane took off amid varying levels of anxiety throughout the cabin. I’m here to tell the tale today, so thankfully it wasn’t too weird!

“There’s a bomb on the plane, it’s going to go off at (insert time here)”

(as the time he said approached)

“Ten, nine, eight…”

The police were waiting for him when we got there.

When i was 16 i was taking a flight from Oslo to Stockholm, around 45 minutes. Before lift off, the guy in front of me( around 30 years old) broke up with his gf who sat next to me……. They yelled so much and loudly during that flight I had the worst head ache when we landed. Why not just wait 45 minutes?

Edit: Wow, 1k upvotes. Thank you 😊

I was in window seat, lady next to me daughter on isle side

She kept saying see you can see the earth is really flat from up here. No curve at all etc

It was like she wanted me to go oh wow you're right

B***h if you think the earth is flat i don't think you understand gravity enough but some how trust a plane?

Once I was flying between two Australian cities, and there were a bunch of highly manicured young men sitting in front of me. They looked somewhat familiar, but I couldn't place them. Naturally, I spent the entire flight trying to figure out who they were, mostly by looking between the seats while they were texting their friends.

I saw them write a bunch of messages to mates about how much "they didn't want to hang out with us" and "they just spend all their time in their rooms".

It wasn't until we landed and I walked out into a room of screaming teenage girls - signs and selfies at the ready, that I placed that we'd been sitting directly behind Five Seconds of Summer - an Australian boy band which was reaching popularity at the time. I can only assume they were texting about the band they were touring with - a little known outfit called One Direction.

My competitor's entire sales plan for a prospect I was on my way to visit. Definitely helped my pitch.

passenger 1 - i cant wait to get there, this party is gonna be insane

passenger 2 - did you hear, jose's estranged wife is gonna be there

passenger 1 - why is she estranged?

passenger 2 - because shes strange, and hes mexican

“We aren’t cleared to taxi at the moment. We should be taking off within an hour.”

"Ladies and gentlemen, we've been facing some strong headwinds and... it appears we burned up a *little* more fuel than we anticipated so we will be making a diversion to Fiji."

This was flying from the US to Australia in a 747. I had seen on the trip map that we had been flying in the wrong direction for like 2+ hours. When we did land we landed hard and they told us that because of the landing we had to sit on the ground with the engines off in Fiji in the summer while technicians looked at the plane.

When we were airborne again, our destination was fogged out and we diverted from Sydney to Melbourne. I don't ever want to spend 26 hours on a plane again.

A guy coming home early to bust a cheating wife. He was on the phone with a friend/family who told him the other guy was at his house abd they didn't expect him back until the next week.

I was sitting next to a father with his small child. The child wouldn't stop hopping around, until the father said "sit still and be a good boy or the plane will crash because of you and we will end up dying."
Never seen a kid so quiet before.

I was sat next to a teenage boy and his dad. The kid was telling his dad how much he loved the song “sexual healing” by Marvin Gaye, when the kid was finally done talking the dad just looked at him and said “you’re a virgin”

"He's 17!" - my dad, to the flight attendant who was about to serve me a Jack & Coke instead of the Coke I had asked for. Killjoy.

Ohh. I got this one...

Passenger W is struggling to get his luggage into the overhead compartment and passenger E seated next to me starts getting upset. W's carry-on clearly doesn't fit.

E speaks up saying to be careful because his luggage is there. Flight attendant comes over and says passenger W needs to check his bag. W grows increasingly disturbed, but it works out.

Then W says to the flight attendant "I'm sorry, it's just that I haven't taken my medication. I get so nervous with all these body bags on board. You know I have body parts in my luggage."

Passenger E turns to me and says, "did you hear that? I just have a laptop in my luggage!"

I overheard a passenger passionately arguing with their seatmate about the correct way to eat a slice of pizza with chopsticks.

Sat next to a college guy once who , while drinking some alcoholic beverages, started crying and telling me he killed his best friend in a drunk driving accident. Because he had good lawyers he got off wo jail time. He was sobbing and drinking. When we landed I made sure he was NOT driving.

A small child once told me that she had to fix the plane by lifting the armrest up and down. She also called me a dog-headed boy girl.

Roasted.
