Venting your airline frustrations…

Airlines are discovering that fuming passengers who have been stranded, delayed or just plain piqued are increasingly letting their undiluted rage fly around the Internet, often from the confines of their cramped airplane seat.

Twitter, which lets people broadcast 140-character instant text messages to countless readers, allows the venting to be loud, fast and public, and the technology has put carriers — used to bad publicity as part of daily operations — even more on the defensive as they race to tame Twitter furies every day.

Have you ever been stranded at an airport, stuck on the tarmac for hours, or lost your luggage? Share your airline horror stories here — we promise not to limit your frustrations to 140-characters.
