Has to be NICE for me!! Stuck up snotty pax, who all own yachts out there, fly low cost, pay £10 for their ticket, and expect first class service. When you ask them if they would like any drinks or snacks, they turn round to you and say " i don't speak to servants"! I could have smaked her one! happens all the time. If you touch their bag, they exclaim take care with that - it's Louis Vitton!!!
Athens too Horrible smelly greeks, who insist in taking their shoes off once they have sat down!

Sydney to JNB (Johannesburg) ....... 13 hour sector, over 9 time zones, with very awake and very demanding pax..... you dont stop with the constant call buttons on the flight, get spoken to like you are dirt by the pax, and dont know whether you are Arthur or Martha by the time you get there, with the time zone changes ...... then the allowance is worth nothing !!! Thank god I dont have to do them anymore !

I hate LCY (London City)
Fortunately, i don't do it anymore .
When you do ORY LCY ORY LCY ORY : four sectors a day for five days and you see the same business pax going to stock exchange or whatever meeting they have.
they see you twice a week and do not even say 'hi' or 'bye'. You always have to tell them again and again to stow away their tray table, to shut off their lap top computers, to put correctly their luggage.... etc etc and some travel every single day by plane.
welcome back to school

Oh, for me it HAS to to be Moscow and Kiev.
Basically these flights are just full of weedy little western guys going to meet some internet bride or other,or foul locals with no manners who think it's o.k to use there pathetic mobile phones during the flight and have a crafty fag in the toilets.
The song by Cher "Gypsies,Tramps and Thieves" basically sums up the dross we carry to these places perfectly!!
Also overweight sweaty businesmen in dandruff covered Burtons suits, who just grunt a reply to every question you ask them, are a common occurance on these services.
I'd actually rather do a whole week of Nice flights on full a 767 than 1 Moscow!!
Happy flying....

OK then - I hate TLV flights!!!!!!!!! 
[COLOR=blue]And yes, night ATH - the second worst. But I wouldn't quite call them as strong as smelly greeks, though. Me being a foreigner, I find it a bit harsh. Some of english don't smell of roses either, but I wouldn't say "smelly english".....If you know what I mean!?
What about KLX? Oh, kids...puts me off having them in the near future...

Oh please...stop right there the lot of you! I have the privilege of hating all the destinations on our network! Yes,it's official British Mediterranean have to have the very 'worst' destinations in the industry,and inparticular..Tehran.We have to stay behind a 'private part' where we make endless cups of coffee and watch crappy dvd's and 'will time away' until the much desired wake up call! If you do venture out,it is one big stressful journey to get from A to B due to the traffic and the 'wacky races' style driving! If you are lucky,you will be stopped by the police several times and have to explain in pigeon english as to 'WHY' you are in the Islamic Republic of Iran(not by choice believe me)
Female cabin crew have to wear the Hijab (head scarf,which I guess is a small price to pay considering girls have to wear it from the age of 7) but ladies cant even have access to the outdoor pool EVER nor can they use the gym..only on certain days.Its depressing and soul destroying and sometimes you can be rostered these trips up to 3-4 a month....so please,give me your JNB flights any day..you dont know how lucky you are.

I didn't mind TLV as much as the cabin team did. JKK-MIA all over again.
I hated Bombay. God, the filth and stink of the place.
Then, any place in Sub Sahara Africa.

For me it's Las Vegas. I do my best to bid around it but it's not always possible. It's hot and seedy. The service in restaurants is bad and if you try walking anywhere you risk getting killed as the auto rules. It is a waste of our precious energy and water resources not to mention another sad example of the disneyfication of America. If I want to see the Eiffel Tower or the skyline of New York, I'll go and see the real thing.

STARBUX - I agree with you about Las Vegas. Excellent layover, minimum of WX delays, great operational airport, etc..
It always went "senior" as a destination.
I found the summer heat to be unbearable, but for 8 months of the year it is very pleasant.
