Some time later I heard a distinctive sound usually associated with flatulence, followed by a strong odor also usually associated with […]

Back in early 2005 I was flying JetBlue direct from Long Beach, CA to Boston, MA which is about a 5 or 6 hour flight. I was seated in the window seat which was fine because I planned to snooze for as much of the flight as I could. Everything was fine until about 20 […]

On a flight about 5 years ago (when the airlines still served food), I was seated behind a young woman with very long straight blond hair. I knew it was very long and straight because after she reclined her seat, she flipped her hair over the back of the seat, where it reached down far […]

Last year, I booked a round trip flight from Philadelphia to San Diego. I arrived at the Philadelphia airport counter with an hour to spare before take off. The woman at the counter said, “I really doubt you can make this flight since you decided to cut it so close. You better run.” I ran […]

I’ve got to tattle on myself. I used to travel by plane every week for a living in the days way before 9/11 (circa Reagan Presidency). Back then my darling husband used to drive me to the curbside check-in before going on to his job and we avoided all the expensive airport parking. One Monday […]
