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. [...]

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?

Clandestine Tobacco Chewer

March 1, 2010 Passenger Stories

A couple of years ago, I sat next to a guy who chewed a wad of tobacco for the entire flight. He would spit into a water bottle every couple of minutes, and hide the bottle between his legs when a stewardess would walk by. Utterly disgusting…

I was flying back from Malaysia yesterday on Etihad and had specifically requested a row of three seats as I was making a 28 hour journey and was hoping to catch some shut eye on the way back. You never know with these requests whether they will process, but on this occasion I was lucky [...]

Partying Passenger’s Indiscretion

February 23, 2010 Passenger Stories

I recently flew from Liverpool to Amsterdam with one of the budget airlines. It was a 6.15 am flight so I got to the airport early as the airline operates a first come, first seated policy. I’ve always been amazed that when I get to the airport this flight is always full of the stag [...]

February 11, 2010 Passenger Stories

[Mature content] Back when I used to fly coach, on a flight from Bangkok to Kuwait with a layover in Bahrain, there was a group of drunken Arab trannies. All 7 of them had to be in their early 20s. OK no big deal, if they mind their business I’ll do the same. I just [...]
