On a flight from Boston to Florida, about a year ago, I saw definitely the weirdest thing I’ve seen happen on a plane. I wouldn’t say it was “hell” exactly, but it was a nuisance. A couple, near the back of the plane, had brought their little dog on the plane. Normal, no biggy. But, […]

London to Washington/Dulles, 1995. I was flying back home from a tour of Ireland with my mother. There was a chubby and hyper kid in the seat in front of us who would not stop moving for the entire 8 hour flight. We could hear him talking to the flight attendants and the passengers around […]

Back in 2005, on a United flight from Omaha to Denver, I was seated in the front coach row waiting for our plane to take off. I was the only person on that side of the aisle and I had the window, so I thought I had it made. But just before the doors were […]

So it is important to point out what kind of person my friend and I am. We hate people sitting between us on a flight. We will actually fake a cough to try to get people to not sit between us. Well this was a SW flight and we thought it may be empty since […]

Consulting had me flying on average two hundred and thirty legs a year up until five years ago. It had gotten to the point that, with cancellations and overnight delays it was taking longer than it would to drive. The flight Nazis even back then had become unbearably rude and abusive. While working a job […]

Took a flight from O’Hare to San Francisco. Sat in the last row, window seat. Only 1 open seat on the plane near the front of the plane. An overweight woman sat next to me whose thighs overhang her seat and squished next to mine. That is not the bad part (although it was bad). […]

I was flying back to the States from JoBurg, South Africa. The flight from hell was roughly 12 hours from JoBurg to London. Being a travel agent, I attempted to get a free upgrade with the gate agents to a sleeper bed/seat. No luck there. Once on-board, I attempted to sleep, only to be awoken […]
