I’m from Miami but lived and worked in London for a bit. I was a savvy traveler back in the day before 9/11 and would always book my transatlantic flight for business in the States to/from Miami so I could spend some down time for play in my hometown before returning back to work. I would then do circle trips around the USA for business. This worked out great because Miami was a major hub for Pan Am and Eastern, there were great connections, and I could rack up miles for personal trips later.
Around 1990, I took one of these numerous trips. I had elite status on Pan Am, but they were going down the tubes and selling their domestic and Pacific routes off. I flew Pan Am for my transatlantic flight, but lucked into flight passes being offered by American for my domestic flights.
My first business meeting was in LA, so I booked a Pan Am flight to Miami with an hour to connect to an AA flight to LA (those were the days!). When I arrived at my departure gate for my LA flight, the inbound plane had not arrived yet and was delayed. AA had just taken over the Eastern Airlines terminal in Miami and had added new bars, restaurants, etc. So I decided to have a drink at the new bar under the Eddie Rickenbacker airplane hanging from above.
The bar had just opened about a week before, but there were only a couple of us sitting there. There was a couple from CA who were coming back from the Caribbean. Then there was this college student who was going out to LA as an entering freshman for some art school and to be a model. He was obviously gay to me, but interesting in his excitement of starting his new life. After a 9 hour flight, I just wanted to get on the flight and crash.
The flight ended up being delayed 5 hours! (AA did bring us food during the wait after families from connecting flights were freaking.) This meant I’d been up for at least 24 hours and had now been drinking beers for several hours (plus the champagne I had on my PA flight). I had some casual conversations with the bar tender, the couple and the art student, but all mainly to pass the time as I waited and hoped to depart soon.
When we finally boarded for the 5 hour flight, I grabbed some (free!) pillows and a blanket and sat in my aisle seat. I was surprised to see that the art student had the window seat next to me. The flight was packed with returning cruise ship families (and screaming children) and the seat between us wound up empty after a family member was able to sit with her original party. The art student insisted he show me his modeling book (as if I was interested in male modeling shots).
After they fed us and turned down the lights for the movie, I was out. I remember waking up to use the restroom and it was very quiet on the flight as everyone else was spent from the delay. The movie was still playing. I went back to my seat and fell fast asleep again and wrapped up in my blanket.
Suddenly I awoke with some strange hand stroking my genitals and someone under my blanket! The art student had unfastened my belt and trousers, pulled them to my knees and had his hand IN my pants, while sitting between my legs under the blanket. My underwear was certainly going next! What a panic!
Um, isn’t any other surrounding passenger seeing this? (Nope. All asleep.) Do I call for help from the flight attendant? (And be on record for this incident?) Do I injure him and draw attention to this scene and the incident report interviews/paperwork to follow? Would I be blamed for enticement, etc.? (God knows what this nut job was going to say!)
Even as a savvy frequent flier, this was NOT my idea or fantasy of joining the Mile High Club! This was a TRULY disturbing violation from a perv with no boundaries!
I squeezed on his head with my knees under the blanket, and applied more pressure letting him understand I meant NO! He understood and got up from under the blanket and sat quietly in his seat. I managed to pull up my trousers, get adjusted and collect my wits. I then left my seat and found a new one down the aisle.
Who would think that on a transcontinental flight that someone 10 years your junior of the SAME sex would decide to seduce you without your permission? I’ve heard a few stories from crew of this happening to women, but never guys. This was NOT erotic for me at all — it was a nightmare.
So how’d I get so “lucky” to be one of the few? I guess today, you’d be shot by a US Air Marshall if you were caught acting out like this on a plane.
Out of ALL my flights of unruly, drunk, rude or vomiting passengers, food poisoning (on a long-haul flight), escaped smuggled pets in cabin, screaming or unruly kids, horrible or culturally frightening (fish heads and rice) or no meals, etc. — this one sticks out as the MOST disturbing flight from HELL in my mind. I’ve even been on a flight where an elderly gentleman expired, hoping to make it home in time to say goodbye. (Remember, I’m from Florida?)
Ah, the glamour of air travel…

Again, I don't believe this garbage either. You are a sicko, to make that up. Go to your Adultfinder to wright s**t like this.
Soo boring and too long please
Yeahhhh, I'm calling shenanigans on this one.
Shenanipanties!
I think this is fake. Anyone would have notjust let the guy get away with it. Hell, anyone else would have starting giving that prevert a beating he really desreved.
Nope,don't believe it. No matter how tired, I would know if someone was yanking on my clothes.
Is it just me, or do some of these stories just seem to be getting longer and longer….why you fly around the country, land in Miami, go on to other places, live in London, etc….really has nothing to do with the story.
You could have said, I was molested on a flight in 1990 by someone of the same sex. The other stuff really is not important to your point.
But, with that said….how in the heck did someone get your pants, belt and snaps, etc…undone, and down to your ankles while you were seated…if you didn't want them too. You cannot be that deep of a sleeper.
If this story is true, which I doubt….I more than likely think, you were originally insterested, and then got cold feet.
Why is it always guys doing the molesting? Why can't women start trying to even things out a bit.
Dear Editor,
Why would you post such drivel. Is this blog for perv fiction or travel hell?
Why are the commentators getting so pissy? Shenanigans or not, it was a funny story.
It was an obviously fake and extremely homophobic story. Quite frankly, I found it offensive.
So Dina, it's politically correct for people to write stories about hetero men who assault women, but not about gay men who assault other men? I'll turn it around – I say that stories about straight molesters are heterophobic. Assholes exist in all shapes, sizes and sexual persuasions.
Chiquita Chick,
I think the point is, there were such things as the line, "he was obviously gay to me" ….which is a little homophobic….
Not to mention, the whole story is a bit contrived, and probably didn't happen…so, someone made up a derogatory story about a gay person, using the stereotypical descriptions of art student, model, etc… for what purpose?
In that aspect, it could be found offensive….
And, yeah if someone made up a story about a straight person, doing such a thing…that would be offensive too….
Homophobic to say someone's obviously gay?
It's mostly the fact that, since it is so blatantly fake (how exactly DOES one get a man's pants around his ankles while he's sitting without him noticing?) it plays into the whole stereotype that gay men just want sex and can't help themselves. Which is baloney.
There's a stereotype that men in general just want sex – and unfortunately there's a large element of truth in it!
Bonnie, you are correct and what are you doing later ?
Uh, Dina… I hate to burst your PC bubble, but I would imagine that gay guys are as horny as straight guys – which means they want it all of the time!
Who posts pictures of themselves online?
Thanks for sharing your sexual fantasy with us.
Lets see , gay , a male model, sounds like Karl was on your flight and once again on his knees. Did he have a remotely Canadian stench ? if so it was either Karl or his boyfriend Kad (they are actually a cute fairy couple) they are inseperable unless you toss a bucket of cold water on them.
Anybody figure out the logistics of this? "He squeezed his head with his knees." Either the guy was a contortionist or the rest of his body was wrapped around HIS head…
what is this I don't even…
I'm definitely not doing anything with someone by the name of "Feltersnatch!"
