Step 1
About 2 years ago, I flew down to Argentina for an exchange trip with my old high school. The trip started off terrible as the day we were supposed to leave for New York and eventually Buenos Aires, a snowstorm hit and our flight was cancelled. We then had to rebook our flight and ended up leaving 3 days later and had to cut out a trip to go watch a soccer game as well as a trip to an authentic Argentinian ranch about 2 hours west of Buenos Aires. On the flight from Miami to Buenos Aires, I ended sitting next to one of my classmates and I had the worst possible airplane seat. First off, I was booked for a window seat, but as I was making my way to my seat, I realized that instead of having a window, I had a plain wall with no window. So I had a window seat with no window. Next, it is important to understand that this flight was about 11 to 12 hours long, so having a proper movie selection is crucial, but about 3 hours into the flight, my screen just decided to stop working and turn black. After warning multiple stewardesses about my problem, they finally told me that there was nothing they could do. Luckily, I had downloaded a few movies on my phone, so I wasn’t to upset, but, as I tried plugging in my phone so I could have a constant charge, I realized that the usb outlet was not working, so I couldn’t watch my movies for more that 2 hours. I then decided to go to sleep and maybe when I wake up I will be in South America, but my seat had other plans for me. When I tried pushing my seat so It would be more comfortable to sleep, I couldn’t. My seat would not be able to go further back then the taxing position. So, for almost 12 hours, I had to sit straight, with no movies and no music and no window, not to mention that the food was terrible.
Step 2
2 years ago, I was a part of a high school exchange trip in which I had the worst possible airplane set imaginable. In fact, after having to rebook our flight o a snowstorm, I was supposed to have a window seat for my 11-hour flight to Buenos Aires, but once I boarded the plane I realized it was going to be a long flight. First of all, my “window” seat was a seat placed next to wall where window was supposed to be, but was not. Next, about 3 hours into the flight while I was watching a movie, my screen turned black and I was told that it could not be fixed on the flight. I then decided to plug in my phone to watch movies on there but the charging would not work. My last-ditch attempt was to try falling asleep, but as faith would have it, my seat was not be able to lean back. So, I was left with no entertainment and no comfortable sleeping/sitting position for 11 hours.
Step 3
A fifth of a decade ago, whilst in the midst of a school trip to Latin America, I experienced a chair made of nightmares. It all started when Mother Nature decide to coat Montreal in a blanket of snow and delay our travels for what felt like an eon. Once our flight was rebooked and then boarded the giant metal bus in the sky and took our seats, but mine was something that still horrifies me to this day. Not only did my small screen not have the capability of running correctly, but that the air stewardesses would not be able to help me with my problems until we land in the sunny Buenos Aires. I then wanted to watch films on my cellular device but alas, m charging port was not functional which shook me to my core. After having to come to terms with this horror and then decided to catch some “z’s”. But, God forbid I would have one nice thing. My chair would not lean back into a capable sleeping position. I as left feeling vulnerable and in despair for a dozen hours that this metal cage landed in South America
