Flightmare refers to an unpleasant experience during air travel. A blend of the words 'flight' and 'nightmare'.
Flightmare（航班噩梦）指不愉快的飞行旅途，这个词是flight（航班）和nightmare（噩梦）的合成词。
Flightmares go well beyond the usual perils1 of airline travel such as crowded seats, lost luggage and food not fit for a dog. A flightmare usually involves lost money, lost opportunities and lost dignity.
航班噩梦所指的并非飞行途中所遇见的座位拥挤、行李丢失及食物不佳等平时的问题，而是诸如钱财丢失、机会错失（错过毕业典礼或亲人葬礼）与尊严丧失等紧急的意料之外事件。
