Passengers aboard a flight diverted from Dallas Fort Worth International Airport to Shreveport on Sunday spent six hours waiting in the plane and not the airport terminal because they were on an international flight and there were customs issues.

Not good if you hate closed quarters.

I would not have fared very well sitting on that tarmac! Part of the reason I hate to fly is the claustrophobia that goes with it!

Call for a Bloody Mary and have a seat time will fly

Love those nice bathrooms they have on each plane

If I am not mistaken, when a plane is stuck on the tarmac, their bar is closed. No drinks while you wait. Not supposed to go to the bathroom either, but I'd like to see them try and stop me.

I would've taken a nap or something. Sometimes, I welcome delays like this as a time to just stop and rest, recollect the sanity to lose throughout your typical week, and just listen to silence.

Anime a nice thought but I doubt it was silent with a plane load of irate people stuck in closed quarters!

Well if Mr. Pokie will buy me those and I go to the doctor and get some xanax just maybe I can fly again! There's always hope!
