Just when you thought it was safe to fly, A&E’s Customer Wars returns with a fresh batch of travel-related terrors. This week’s episode, “Escalation at the Airport Gate,” airing Tuesday, February 25 at 10:00 PM ET, explores the delicate art of losing one’s composure at 30,000 feet…or, more accurately, at the gate before even boarding.
From a flight cancellation in Indianapolis that triggers a full-blown passenger revolt to a lifestyle vlogger’s nail salon meltdown in New Jersey, this episode spans the globe. And yes, the globe includes a safari in Zimbabwe, where a grumpy elephant adds an unexpected twist to the usual customer service complaint. Because why not?
But the real draw here is the airport drama. We’ve all been there: delayed flights, lost luggage, screaming children. It’s a breeding ground for conflict. Customer Wars captures those raw, unfiltered moments when patience snaps and politeness goes out the window. And let’s not forget the Nashville hotel fiasco where guests find themselves playing the roles of bellhop, concierge, and maid. Because what’s a vacation without a little DIY?
If you enjoy watching train wrecks in progress, this episode is for you. Just try not to yell at your TV.
