Cathay Air tried to Kill Me

So as most of you know I have finally departed for Thailand. I know most of you are thinking that's awesome or I'm so jealous I wish I was going. You know what fuck that.

Cathay Air Tried to Kill Me

Yeah that’s right you heard me they tried to kill me. Here I am up at the crack of dawn on April 1st getting ready to catch my 15 1/2 hr flight to Hong Kong & then another 2 1/2 hr flight to Bangkok. I'm thinking not to bad I got all sorts of toys, movies & drugs to help me through this horrific experience.

I should have known as soon as I saw all the corpses & by corpses I mean the droves of almost dead elderly arrive for the flight that no matter what this flight was gonna suck. It was like I was either in a b-movie Flight of the Zombie or a flying nursing home. I was even asking myself if they would be serving hard food on this flight or was the special Gerber Mashed Peas.


OK so we are all on the flight my I got my two decaying bodies next to me, not to bad because the dead can sleep through anything & I got the aisle seat. Seats aren't to bad but not great a little tight but that’s what the drugs are for. Take off a breeze & now the food some sort of egg science project gone wrong but hey I'm hungry & I'll eat anything. Wrong choice instantly after eating my stomach is killing me so now I am 2 hrs into the flight & my stomach is upset.


Oh wait what’s that 2 screaming kids Yes! What’s a long haul flight without screaming children. Apparently I am the only one who hears them but don't worry I voice my displeasure to the parents numerous times & lets just say I will not be our there x-mas list.

So here it is I'm a little over 3 hrs into the flight my stomach is killing me & now my head is pounding. At about the 8 hr mark I was just begging for the plane to crash just so this whole thing would be over. Finally we land & I'm off to my first of the many lovely bathrooms of the Hong Kong Airport to throw up. The airport staff were looking at me the whole time I was sweating, red in the face & probably looked like I should be on an episode of Locked up Abroad having just smuggled heroin in condoms I swallowed.

Well the good news is I only have 2 1/2 more hrs of this the bad news is I'm still fucking sick. At least I was able to get some sleep on this flight. Land, clear customs & get me luggage in 20 minutes not to bad I'll be at my hotel in 25 minutes & can puke in private. That was until we hit traffic an hour later finally a nice private place for me to lay down & hug the porcelain god.

Well I made it barely but I am here & I am in Bangkok...

  1. On behalf of your fellow passengers I would like to thank you for infecting them with your stomach virus, you self-centered shallow inconsiderate wretch. Didn't I tell you you're supposed to get dysentery ON your trip abroad, not BEFORE? Did you write my name, address and telephone number on that paper to put in your shoe in case you are abducted like I told you? You never listen.
