Flying can be a stressful experience at the best of times.
Flights can be delayed, bags can go missing - and hey, has anyone seen my passport?!
These passengers, however, got a real raw deal.
Air Transat is the latest airline under fire for its treatment of passengers after two flights that diverted to Ottawa were stuck on the tarmac for hours.
Passengers weren't allowed to leave the planes and some eventually called 911 for help, after conditions inside the aircraft became hot and made it hard to breathe.
@FlyYOW can you please give us an update, we've been stuck in our @airtransat plane for over 5 hours. This is not okay or humane.

After this happened, the pilot lost the rag completely.
No air. They are looking for who called 911 after 5 hours of suffocation @airtransat #passengerrights pic.twitter.com/7Am5kBUkBi

Air Transat released a statement on Tuesday addressing the situation.
"Unfortunately, this unusual situation beyond our control caused delays of several hours for our passengers," it said.
"Ottawa airport staff were unable to provide with loading bridges or stairs that would have enabled the passengers on the Brussels flight to disembark or our ground crews to replenish the aircraft's empty drinking water reservoir."
The pilot should take a leaf out of this guy's book.
