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 am a flight attendant for a major airline. Back in the early 90′s during the Gulf War when no one was flying, the airlines lowered the fares to the point where everyone could fly, even people who usually take the bus. Needless to say, there were a lot of people on board that were [...]

Hair Flipper Freaks Over Gooey Mess

September 8, 2009 Passenger Stories

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 [...]

FBI Man

August 27, 2009 Passenger Stories

I was returning from a nonprofit training seminar. I can’t recall the airline I was flying with, but I remember very well the trip. A man in his mid to late 30s got on the plane. He was a big guy, about 6’3″, wearing a baseball cap that said “FBI” in large fuzzy letters. He [...]

Abuse Of Flight Attendant

July 27, 2009 Passenger Stories

I was on my way back to KY from a wonderful trip to Alaska with my new boyfriend last year. Said attorney boyfriend was a NWA “Gold” member and we were flying in “first class” of a jet that didn’t actually have first class.
