Shady Character And Baggage Bungle

April 26, 2010 Passenger Stories

I have always flown on Southwest Airlines for my travel needs. So when I found out I had to fly on Delta for a business conference, I was not exactly thrilled. Aside from having to pay for my luggage (yes, even carry-ons), I never really cared for their hospitality.

Mrs. Hocker

April 9, 2010 Passenger Stories

In one of my trans-Atlantic voyages to Europe, I had the joy of sitting next to an expert in languages. I don’t remember the layout of the plane, but I normally take a window seat so I can sleep against the window so I am not completely zonked when I land in Amsterdam. I get [...]

Airline Won’t Take Responsibility For Behavior

March 23, 2010 Passenger Stories

I had a terrifying experience on a Continental flight from Houston to Honolulu on January 21/09. I was seated beside a man who was obviously not from the US – he was rude and kept pushing my arm off the armrest, and then told me he was stronger than me and he would prove it. [...]

Passenger Freaks Out During Flight

March 15, 2010 Passenger Stories

I’m surprised this one never showed up on the news! On February 22, 2010, on United Flight 651 from Chicago’s O’Hare Airport en route to San Diego, the flight was diverted to Las Vegas. Why?

Altercation With An A-Hole

March 11, 2010 Passenger Stories

A year or so ago as my family was taking our annual Hawaii trip, we ran into a fellow who was very very unfriendly. As we boarded the plane in Phoenix Sky Harbor, I thought it would be a relatively tame flight. I was wrong…
Now my Dad is a good guy, but as far as [...]
