On a recent flight to DC, I sat next to a desperate talker. To be clear, I love making conversations with strangers, but I was tired from a long weekend and flying into DC for a conference. I wanted to be alone in my own head for the 1 hour, 1 minute flight. However, as […]

My fiancee and I were flying from Las Vegas to visit my brother in Chicago in July of ’08. Las Vegas, of course, has its own reputation and visitors can certainly get a bit out of hand. But I’d not seen anything like this before. We were seated near the rear of the aircraft so […]

In early February I took a 3 day trip out to Oklahoma on a job seeking mission. Flew from FWA-DFW-OKC on the way out and TUL-DFW-ORD-FWA on the way back. I’m an aviation nut and always get a window with a good wing view. I enjoy flying… just not the hell you have to go […]

Having flown from Atlanta to Las Vegas in April 2008, we were well aware of Delta’s baggage rules. BUT, a week later upon checking in to return to Atlanta, we were told about new baggage fees. So we shuffled things together (in a rush, because seat selection was at the gate) and avoided the ‘extra […]

About 15 years ago, I was taking a trip from SFO to Montreal for a big convention/conference. My flight connected in ORD. There was a female co-worker of mine who was also travelling to the same conference (in fact there were 5 or 6 co-workers on the same flight). She had managed to snag a […]

A few months ago I was on a flight with my elderly mother from Delhi India to Agra India, home of the Taj Mahal. To begin with, our flight was delayed 5 hours due to dust storms. We waited all day at the airport and finally boarded a tiny Kingfisher Airlines propeller plane. The flight took […]

Our family enjoyed a fun Disney cruise last summer to celebrate our youngest son’s graduation from high school. We flew JetBlue (5 of us). The flight and connecting flight down, no problems at all. The return was a different story. On our final night of the cruise, Disney, in their ever efficient way to make […]

I am a business woman that travels frequently. I was already in my aisle seat on a recent flight from Atlanta to Salt Lake City when a heafty man in a business suit approached my row and said to me, “If you will just scoot over missy I will sit in the aisle.” Now, I […]

I was flying back to San Francisco from Paris in April 2006. I was a senior in high school then, and being a French citizen I was in Paris taking admission exams for colleges during my 1 week spring break. I was scheduled to fly back to SFO via Dallas on American Airlines. Little did […]
