I call bullshit on the sleeping on the floor.
thegelatoking
On the floor? So you're telling me there were no benches or chairs to sleep on like every other terminal in the world?
hiig
Not taking sides here, but many places use benches with fixed armrests between each seat to prevent people from sleeping on them.
Actually almost all I've seen have arm rests. But I think sleeping sitting up with a jacket pillow more comfortable than on tile floor lol

The leak is very subtle. Nobody would have ever seen it if it weren't for his hawk-like superior vision.
CallingYouOnYourShit
What leak?
If you look very closely, in picture #2, you might be able to see a small amount of fuel leaking from the wing. You might have to zoom in.
This heroic man's super-sniper-trained eyeballs were able to spot that tiny leak and save the entire world from certain doom.

United needs to get their act together yes, but their passengers throw some of the biggest adult hissyfits I have ever seen. grow up

Yeah, sure you did. No ground personell or 100+ of the other passengers on same window side would surely not say anything.

"Whoopzie, looks like we got 30% tank o' fuel this time, Jerry, my mate. Guess we gonna crash in the atlantic! LIFT OFF!!!"

In the video, there's a van driving towards the wing of the plane. These people are just arrogant twats

Side note. You couldn't just pay for a hotel? I get wanting to be compensated for your struggle buuut....
anakhasilver
Airport hotels are hella expensive in cities. We're talking around $400+ a night.
They don't need something that expensive,go to a holiday inn or something generic they're still in the states
ArianaGandhi
" we saved your flight" sounds like those people who like to yell at costumer service until someone "fixes it". Attitude is everything.
All they did was save them a few dollars for finding a fuel leak.
VoidReclaimer
Seriously. I bet they were the only ones who saw gallons of fuel spilling from the wing of the plane /s

ikbenlike
Well, United keeps doing more and more of these things, and IMO they're proper cunts

Austrian Airline dicked over a newly wed couple that prevented a potential crash?
makeyourownpath
Her laying on the floor is a bit extreme, there are plenty of chairs all over the airport. Their misfortune sucked and yea I get it.

A lot of airports chairs have armrest though
revcleo
I've slept across a few trolleys in the past in Heathrow - loads of people taking seats for early morning flights
NoVoteForYou
Exactly what I was thinking.
MackerelTex
I'be slept in many an airport. Sometimes the floor is better because seats have armrests
Winterboer
Not every airport has those seats with armrests though. It varies greatly from one to the other.
"Sometimes"
Also nice to not contract pink eye
Outlavv
Media has been known to rearrange scenes to get better photos
badhorsechorus
The photo credit says Facebook.
NotFarEnough
This wasn't even the media, it's clearly the husband who took that so I'm sure the couple did the rearranging themselves
Yeah, and United has been known to fuck people over. Regardless of how bad the situation was, these people at least deserved (1/2)
Some sort of voucher to be given to them by United, because they indeed stopped a potential accident from happening (2/2)
IsoPropylPotatene
I mean morally sure, but no one is obligated to get a voucher, and it's stupid to milk it for drama and potential lawsuits.

DeniseBro
How are they stranded at the airport? If they're going to Italy for their honeymoon, why can't they afford $100 for a hotel?
Because the hotel is probably booked solid and hotels in any city I've been have never been $100 unless you're going for ones with roaches
You guys took my $100 a night comment literal, fine make it 200 , 250. I searched Newark hotels near airport and found plenty <200.
Bollramm
Maybe they spent all their savings on the wedding and the honeymoon?
Nick12506
That's retarded. They deserve to sleep on the floor if that's the case.
1111111111113
Probably more like $250+ and they really do deserve vouchers, idk why they didn't get them.
I would still pay $250 before I slept on an airport floor. Haha

Which is why we have checklists rather than relying on memorisation. Funny story, I actually had a boss once who forbade us to use them

Why was everyone else given a voucher but they were not? Why do I feel we aren't being told the entire story?
I'll upvote you because I did some digging, and though United said they gave other passengers vouchers, passengers from this flight
weighed in indicating that they did not.
Slashenaar
Cause they weren't, United just said they did. This couple got a shitload of tweets from other people on the flight saying so.
SexDrugsandSausagerolls
Because it's the Daily Mail. 99%of their stories originate here and it's printed a while later.
devilish85
Airlines are allocated a certain amount of vouchers by the surrounding hotels. This way one airline doesn't get all the rooms-airline empl
Artchie999
Yeah honestly. I know it sucks but you are not the only ones stranded at the airport overnight. Been there done that. And hotels have(1)
Only so many rooms vacant. You cant possibly put the blame on anyone. It just is a shitty moment in life. Btw congrats on your marrage
iconiknebula10
Last time I got a voucher the city was almost completely booked everywhere, couldn't get any rooms anywhere. Could have ran out of rooms.
jimmythehat1
You'd think if they discovered the leak first, they'd get the heroes treatment from everyone on board.
YeGods
Airlines often give hotel vouchers based on ticket class or frequent flyer status. Not everyone is entitled to one.
bobziIIa
Depends where you are. Entitled is a law thing.
Mikeiller
"NO! I DON'T WANT YOUR FUCKING VOUCHER! I WANT A FLIGHT RIGHT NOW! I'M NOT LEAVING UNTIL I GET A FLIGHT!" ...or something
Kodaxmax
xpecting something u payed for doesnt seem unreasonable.
I have a person on my fb feed right now same sounding story, complaining and blasting airline eventhough sounds like they are accommodating
DevoutPatriot
Even if they were denied a voucher you'd think they'd still go get a hotel room, even if they had to pay for it themselves.
A lot of people don't have the money for that, or if they did, they wouldn't have anything to spend on the holiday when they did get there.
governmentgavemeagun
If a flight is cancelled on a busy day, there may not be enough rooms at the inn for everyone. Then you gotta have your baby in a manger...
and then demand a reimbursement.
unclestankstank
Apparwntly these people were on another flight 5 hours later.
RocketRodster
They "run out" of vouchers. Or, if you wait, we'll have another flight. Of course, there's no other flight.
vanella
There's still a service number to call for either a voucher and a rebooking... so this still seems fishy
llamalibrarian
I've slept in an airport before because I was told there'd be another flight when my flight got cancelled- nope, no flight
illuminerdy
Did you get reimbursed? It's never happened to me before so I have no idea how that works!
My flight had been cancelled because they didn't have enough staff for the flight- the same with the next flight
I was able to catch one in the morning- I asked about reimbursement or something because of the hassle
BuddhaBeettle
For every amount of time that you are stranded in an airport the company has to guarantee certain rights, you have to fight for em tho
MotherfuckingJesseEisenburg
Where does it say that everyone else were given vouchers? Genuinely confused here.
thiscommentwillselfdestruct
It was in the news
United said they gave out vouchers, but the couple have received a bunch of tweets from people on the flight saying they got jack shit
Looks like United lied
Again
I found several articles. The ones from more respectable outlets only mentioned the leak and cancellation. Ones I have never heard of like
"People" mentioned these drama queens. Business Insider said "Passengers on the flight were provided hotel rooms for the night and rebooked
on later flights."
GeneralWhisker
You've never heard of People? It is the #1 pub in the US in terms of audience/readership.

DigitalWaffle
Ive slept on my share of airport floors, but I choose a quiet corner with carpet not the middle of the fucking airport.
MrsZbornak
of course they have to make it look like they had the worse day possible especially before their honeymoon. more money for them
butsir
this is exactly my thought. looks like they are trying to stage pictures to get something
charlottadupont
They could have bought their own hotel room and asked for reimbursement later. I mean they mighn't get it but it's better than the airport
PizzaSlutForever
Oh wait a minute? Newark international airports departure lounge??? I've been there dozs of times! There's is loads of places to lay down>
There its even *gasp* carpets! Get up you fuckin drama queen! Not saying its not shitty betting stuck but fuck of with the dramatics
SuicideByAccountant
I wonder if they were making a dramatic picture.
shuttlecockinakumquat
Yeah, that picture makes me call bullshit. Billions of chairs in the airport.
PrincessBride1
Sleeping in airports says almost all chairs have dividers to prevent people laying down and sleeping in that airport.
UsernameAttempted
I once slept in an airport for 5 nights in a row.
Bot17629A98001
At least use your coat to separate your skin from the cold floor... that's what I would've done.
They're flying to italy in the summertime- why would they have coats?
I mean I don't know the context but I took it more as a joke rather than 'plotting' but that's just me
ImjurJiffer
Squeaky gears get the grease
in2i2on
Yeah, this is a little over the top. Grab your bag and coat and crash on the carpet in a corner. If u travel at all you've had to do this...
acedede
One time I slept behind the counter at one of the gates and freaked the attendant out when she came to set up for the early morning flight
After she was finished screaming though she somehow let me continue sleeping even as people were boarding the plane haha
Muffythevampirelayer
Haha that suitcase as a pillow is just pitiful
Threewisemen
I'm a super sound sleeper, when I've slept in airports I generally sleep somewhere with traffic so there's always people around.
For reference, I slept through those loud loud loud ass dorm fire alarms in college once, sober.
And I bet you got ZERO attention
GapingAnalCavity
The difference is probably that you were trying to sleep and not doing empathy-mining.
Hotel on airport grounds. Otherwise they don't allow overnights past security. Don't recall carpet outside security. 1/2

They only got a food voucher. Apparently a bunch of the airline people were pretty rude which says to me they were also rude.
So the airline people did the bare minimum. That's what I would do when I worked retail.
WarpPad
I'm pretty sure the airports have cots just in case of these situations. I've seen them before

how are you going to sue the airline for million dollars like that. you have to make people feel very sorry for you

You'll never guilt some bloke into handing over his voucher that way, let alone shame United into a preemptive settlement.
altearithe
Same here. I've slept in a lot of chairs waiting for connecting flights even if they were uncomfortable as hell. Better than the floor
fineletsdoeverythingyouwannado
I love sleeping on floors, I always find a good floor in airports for my long connections. except for Kathmandu because of the mice.
That's understandable. If it's a must that I sleep on the floor, I'd be most comfortable at Singapore's airport. Clean as hell there
No need for floors they have those movie theatre areas..oh man its awesome.

If you can't afford it, go somewhere fucking cheaper and if you want Venice then fucking grind for it boy, that's my motto.
they want that million dollar law suit. i bet they were singing when they didnt get a voucher

Our honeymoon flight was delayed so we were in airport for 7hrs. So we shelled out $50 bucks for the KLM Crown lounge. That saved the trip!

It's not 'distilled essence.' It's her deliberately picking an uncomfortable spot to lay on, and acting as if the airline made her do it.

gitguuud
I like how that's the takeaway and not the fact that United fucked them
1/2 It's not like airlines have 20 other planes flying the same route for every flight, mechanical issues are one of the risks w/air travel.
2/2 Plane couldn't fly they were delayed, that's called life, not being "fucked over" moron. People are right to hate these fucking idiots.
People can hate united for being asshats AND hate over dramatic lying douchebags as the same time, it's not mutually exclusive.
United didn't fuck them. That's what the photo is supposed to make you feel. You fell for it. Weak-minded fool.
The article did, not the photo. But you know, people tend to speak from experience and expertise when critiquing others.
KavianFloyd
That's not their only BS, yeah right you saved the plane because noone else saw the huge fucking spill! Whole story is probably BS.

United needs to get their act together yes, but their passengers throw some of the biggest adult hissyfits I have ever seen. grow up

Yeah, sure you did. No ground personell or 100+ of the other passengers on same window side would surely not say anything.

Airport hotels are hella expensive in cities. We're talking around $400+ a night.

They don't need something that expensive,go to a holiday inn or something generic they're still in the states

" we saved your flight" sounds like those people who like to yell at costumer service until someone "fixes it". Attitude is everything.

ikbenlike
Some sort of voucher to be given to them by United, because they indeed stopped a potential accident from happening (2/2)
IsoPropylPotatene
I mean morally sure, but no one is obligated to get a voucher, and it's stupid to milk it for drama and potential lawsuits.

How are they stranded at the airport? If they're going to Italy for their honeymoon, why can't they afford $100 for a hotel?
anakhasilver
Because the hotel is probably booked solid and hotels in any city I've been have never been $100 unless you're going for ones with roaches
DeniseBro
You guys took my $100 a night comment literal, fine make it 200 , 250. I searched Newark hotels near airport and found plenty <200.
Bollramm
Maybe they spent all their savings on the wedding and the honeymoon?
Nick12506
That's retarded. They deserve to sleep on the floor if that's the case.

I'll upvote you because I did some digging, and though United said they gave other passengers vouchers, passengers from this flight
BishlamekGurpgork
weighed in indicating that they did not.
Slashenaar
Cause they weren't, United just said they did. This couple got a shitload of tweets from other people on the flight saying so.
SexDrugsandSausagerolls
Because it's the Daily Mail. 99%of their stories originate here and it's printed a while later.
devilish85
Airlines are allocated a certain amount of vouchers by the surrounding hotels. This way one airline doesn't get all the rooms-airline empl
Artchie999
Yeah honestly. I know it sucks but you are not the only ones stranded at the airport overnight. Been there done that. And hotels have(1)
Artchie999
Only so many rooms vacant. You cant possibly put the blame on anyone. It just is a shitty moment in life. Btw congrats on your marrage
iconiknebula10
Last time I got a voucher the city was almost completely booked everywhere, couldn't get any rooms anywhere. Could have ran out of rooms.
jimmythehat1
You'd think if they discovered the leak first, they'd get the heroes treatment from everyone on board.
YeGods
Airlines often give hotel vouchers based on ticket class or frequent flyer status. Not everyone is entitled to one.
bobziIIa
Depends where you are. Entitled is a law thing.
Mikeiller
"NO! I DON'T WANT YOUR FUCKING VOUCHER! I WANT A FLIGHT RIGHT NOW! I'M NOT LEAVING UNTIL I GET A FLIGHT!" ...or something
Kodaxmax
xpecting something u payed for doesnt seem unreasonable.
RepublicofTexa
I have a person on my fb feed right now same sounding story, complaining and blasting airline eventhough sounds like they are accommodating
DevoutPatriot
Even if they were denied a voucher you'd think they'd still go get a hotel room, even if they had to pay for it themselves.
jigglypuff66
A lot of people don't have the money for that, or if they did, they wouldn't have anything to spend on the holiday when they did get there.
governmentgavemeagun
If a flight is cancelled on a busy day, there may not be enough rooms at the inn for everyone. Then you gotta have your baby in a manger...
MenloPart
and then demand a reimbursement.
unclestankstank
Apparwntly these people were on another flight 5 hours later.
RocketRodster
They "run out" of vouchers. Or, if you wait, we'll have another flight. Of course, there's no other flight.
vanella
There's still a service number to call for either a voucher and a rebooking... so this still seems fishy
llamalibrarian
I've slept in an airport before because I was told there'd be another flight when my flight got cancelled- nope, no flight
illuminerdy
Did you get reimbursed? It's never happened to me before so I have no idea how that works!
llamalibrarian
My flight had been cancelled because they didn't have enough staff for the flight- the same with the next flight
llamalibrarian
I was able to catch one in the morning- I asked about reimbursement or something because of the hassle
BuddhaBeettle
For every amount of time that you are stranded in an airport the company has to guarantee certain rights, you have to fight for em tho
MotherfuckingJesseEisenburg
Where does it say that everyone else were given vouchers? Genuinely confused here.

United said they gave out vouchers, but the couple have received a bunch of tweets from people on the flight saying they got jack shit

I found several articles. The ones from more respectable outlets only mentioned the leak and cancellation. Ones I have never heard of like

on later flights."

this is exactly my thought. looks like they are trying to stage pictures to get something
charlottadupont
They could have bought their own hotel room and asked for reimbursement later. I mean they mighn't get it but it's better than the airport

Oh wait a minute? Newark international airports departure lounge??? I've been there dozs of times! There's is loads of places to lay down>

They only got a food voucher. Apparently a bunch of the airline people were pretty rude which says to me they were also rude.

So the airline people did the bare minimum. That's what I would do when I worked retail.

I'm pretty sure the airports have cots just in case of these situations. I've seen them before

You'll never guilt some bloke into handing over his voucher that way, let alone shame United into a preemptive settlement.
altearithe
Same here. I've slept in a lot of chairs waiting for connecting flights even if they were uncomfortable as hell. Better than the floor
fineletsdoeverythingyouwannado
I love sleeping on floors, I always find a good floor in airports for my long connections. except for Kathmandu because of the mice.
altearithe
That's understandable. If it's a must that I sleep on the floor, I'd be most comfortable at Singapore's airport. Clean as hell there
