At airports, egos crash-land

No wonder most stars look grumpy when they get off an airplane. It must be the thought of having to go through the customs, of course.

Apparently, airports aren't the best of places for these frequent-fliers, who are left with no option but to leave their starry tantrums at home. The officials would have none of their 'Don't you know who I am', you see. Here's what the stars rant on their respective web pages, about travelling by air...

Abhishek Bachchan:
"Ok, just figured why they give such a heavy breakfast on the morning flights to Delhi...... They know you'll burn it all off when the Delhi airport makes you walk, what seems like, half the distance to your destination!!! Somebody get me a wheelchair! PLEASE."

Priyanka Chopra:
l "Its too Early to be catching a flight. On my way back to Mumbai from kolkata."
"..transit flight....too long.."

Rahul Bose:
"Unbelievable bungling by kingfisher – my seat's occupied by someone eating a full meal! Am told to please sit elsewhere till he finishes!!"
"Add another airport that allows you to walk to the plane – Dehradun."
"This is getting ridiculous. Seen the same airhostess three times this week. haven't met my sister & niece once in the same span."
"Airline bus has run out of gas. Passengers on tractors. Meals harvested fresh as we travel"
"Airport bus has been driving for 25 min. When I asked the airline attendant where we were going she sweetly replied 'chennai'."
"Our airplane is reversing and an engineer is thumping from the back to guide the pilot like the BEST buses"

Genelia D'souza:
"Air travel hs bcum so unfair, der is a 45min prior deadline4a passenger2check in n if evn a sec later d passenger doesnt get 2board d flite.."
"Hwevr 1ce all d passengers hav boarded, d flite is invariably delayed n d passenger hs no voice if d airline causes delays.. Y??"
"A passenger who hs a confirmed ticket n is way b4 d 45min deadline still doesn't hav d security of gettin on 2d flite, cos d airline is allowed 2overbook d flite as a policy, den wat does d term confirmation mean??"
Rohan Bopanna:
l"Just landed in Paris. Waiting for my bags and hopefully they have made it as well."
