The entire row of seats I am sitting in is not attached to the floor. Plane delayed while maintenance has to be found to come fix it. I HATE flying. Wish me a safe flight.

I thought you were going to say that the lead singer from Walk off the Earth was on it and then got kicked off because her kid was screaming. Apparently you are not one of my Facebook friends.... This is a popular story in my FB feed.

Doesn't exactly instill confidence, does it? Hope you arrive safely and have a great time.

Not good!
Hopefully the rest of the trip is uneventful!

Have a safe flight.
And let the airline know you were not happy about that, after your trip.

Fixed. So now I guess we can get going. No famous singers or anyone else famous that I saw. But I do have extra legroom. The person in front of me can put his seat back. No problem. Thank goodness the seat behind me is empty cause he'd be really squashed with his legs around his head

How does a whole row of seats become unattached to the floor of the plane? And how long was it like this before anyone noticed?
I hope you have a safe flight and a wonderful time in London!

I hope they are offering complimentary drinks to help get you through the flight.
ETA I doubt the row became unattached - they more likely replaced multiple rows and missed attaching one.

My friend had that same thing happen on a flight to Ireland. They were delayed for quite a while. Weird how that can happen.

That is crazy scary!!! I had no idea that rows of airline seats could be unattached for different flights. Hope there is a lot of free drinks and snacks for you all.

Looks like the seats are on tracks so I guess they can move them to change the leg room. Good thing there is no one behind us. Flight now delayed for some other mechanical problem. Someone give me a Valium.... For the screaming kid behind me. Another silver lining: the later the flight leaves, the better I'll sleep |

The vibrations of the engines causes the screws to vibrate out. Add that to as little maintenance as the airline can get away with.
I'm glad you noticed it and pointed it out.
I hope your flight was uneventful after that.

Hope you arrive safe and sound in London, with as minimum a delay as possible. I thought your avatar was very apt!!
Have a wonderful time in London.
