An entertaining flying blog with airline travel stories
My husband & I were coming back from Disneyland July, 2008. We were waiting to board when a family from India, Mom, Dad, 11 y.o. & 6 y.o. daughters were also waiting. The 6 y.o girl was acting up (very hyper, hitting her dad) till we boarded. They went on first, so they were sitting […]

This is the tale of our return trip from Germany to Pittsburgh in June of 2008. 6:30am – wake up in Heidelberg 8:30am – arrive at Frankfurt airport, 2.5 hrs before departure. Plenty of time, lines at the check-in counter aren’t long, so far so good. As we check in, we’re told that one of […]
