So it was about 530am in Amsterdam when I left my hotel to the airport, drowsy, hung over, and seriously exhausted from a 4 day conference spent on my feet trying to sell people who only probably heard 1/3 of what I actually send. Needless to say I was in no mood for any in-flight […]

I usually cut people some slack when they don’t strictly adhere to the “Remain in your seats while the fasten seatbelt light is illuminated.” When you have to go…right?

Have to love this story. Last year, my flight from Washington, DC, to San Francisco kept getting delayed because of thunderstorms. A flight that was supposed to take off at 6:00 PM didn’t take off until midnight. Anyway, after numerous fits and starts, people moving from one gate to another, promises from the airline, etc., […]

Being a hockey fan, I purchased a ticket to a Boston Bruins hockey game as I was preparing to take a trip to Boston for business one January. My flight was booked from Charleston, WV through Pittsburgh and on to Boston on the same day as the game. I knew I had enough time once […]

This doesn’t really concern a flight so much as the shady service I was subjected to at Delta’s terminal in LaGuardia on my way to Disney World. I was on my way to Florida with my fiancée, and it was 7 am. We were dropped off at the terminal and everything was going great until […]
