Men Of The Cloth

November 19, 2009 Passenger Stories

Back in the mid-1990′s, I boarded a Delta flight from Helena, Montana to Salt Lake City, pretty much the only way to get anywhere else in the world if you lived in Helena, Montana. I was going to visit my parents in Georgia. Little did I know that at the time, the Pope was visiting [...]

Chutzpah Guy

November 17, 2009 Passenger Stories

I’ve flown hundreds of thousands of miles yet the oddness and stupidity of my fellow travelers never ceases to amaze me. On a recent evening flight from Houston to Tucson I observed a man teetering on the edge of insanity. First, when we were taxiing for take-off he rang his flight attendant call button to [...]

Bathroom Door Brouhaha

November 2, 2009 Passenger Stories

I was on a flight from New York to D.C. I got up from my seat and headed to the bathroom in the rear of the plane. I looked at the door and it said vacant. I pushed on the middle of the door to fold it in and open. To my surprise there was [...]

Biker Dude’s Transformation

October 28, 2009 Passenger Stories

I was on a flight from Dallas to Atlanta (guess the airline). It was crowded and I was seated next to a pretty crazy looking, bearded biker guy that looked to be in his late twenties or early thirties. I remember thinking “good grief” when he took the middle seat next to mine. The funny [...]

The Proselytizing Passenger

October 28, 2009 Passenger Stories

I was on a flight to Tampa to visit with family. I live in the northern US and so it was nice to be able to go down and not only spend a little time with family, but to get out to the beaches for some R&R as well. So I packed up my vacation [...]

A Music Guy And A Spitter

October 25, 2009 Passenger Stories

I was flying on an airline that routinely travels from Los Angeles to Mexico and back. I have flown them several times as I was dating a girl who lived between Mexico and Los Angeles. I never really liked the airline that much as they were not usually known for being that accommodating, and often [...]

Brown Chew Spit

October 22, 2009 Passenger Stories

Back in 2004 I was returning to Iraq after emergency leave because my Grandfather died. I sat next to a guy that seemed pretty friendly. A few minutes into the flight he pulls out a can of dip and slaps a huge amount into his lower lip. Being in the military I’m pretty used to [...]

Passenger Chats With Celebrity Movie Producer

October 21, 2009 Passenger Stories

I had two weird things happen to me traveling from Hong Kong to Los Angeles via Manila on Philippine Airlines. Upon landing at Manila Airport, I was enjoying the landscape of Manila as we approached the runway. I would guess that we were close enough to the ground that I would maybe be able to [...]

Mouthy Soccer Mom

October 21, 2009 Passenger Stories

I’ve been amused by the stories on here of being seated by huge or smelly people, but my worst airline experience is of an entirely different nature. I was flying from Northern CA to Los Angeles on business, so I was alone and just trying to keep to myself. Unfortunately, I was seated next to [...]

A Strange Experience

October 12, 2009 Passenger Stories

I was on a very long flight from Asia to the US (about 13 hours). I was in coach and traveling alone, so I knew I would probably end up sitting next to someone I didn’t know. I ended up being seated in the same row as an older Indian woman, but there was a [...]
