So my flight issue was pretty minimal considering the other issues people have experenced.

I was supposed to arrive home at 5pm the day before the issue on the fight. Unfortunately there were delays with the equipment, and ultimately they had to change out equipment, resulting in me getting in to my home airport, CLT, at 2am. Unfortunately I was only getting one night at home, and had to fly back to DCA at 6am.

I would have normally just slept at the airport by this point but i had to run home to get more clothes to for the next trip. So by the time i got home, changed out clothes, and got in bed, it was 3am. I slept till 4:30am and make a mad rush to the airport to catch my flight to JFK and then on to DCA.

I was seat 1C, I typically dont like the first row Bulk Head, but that's all that was left when I booked.

So the issue that made it bad... Normally a 6am flight is a pretty quiet flight. Usually the turn the lights down low, and everyone catches a nap or does some work.

This flight didn't happen like that. It wasn't the passengers, but the FA. They never gave out drinks or anything during the flight, no biggie, but the issue was they left the lights on, That may have been a rule, I dont know. But the issue i had was they talked LOUDLY the whole flight. She had the most annoying laugh ever. They were screaming when they laughed. I was trying to catch just a little but even with my Bose noise canceling headphones they were impossible to sleep through.

So my question, Do you ask the FA to stop talking?

Sorry if my "hell" was far from other truly bad stories you may have to top it, But honestly not much bothers me flying, i take the good with the bad, But the Chatty Kathys at 6am when I need a nap was just too much for me.
