Recently, I was on a CRJ flight out of DFW. I was among the first to board, but one of the largest men I have ever seen boarded before me. Of course, his seat was next to mine, on the 2 seat side of the plane. By the time I reached my seat, he had […]

I’m not what you call a frequent flier… I took the plane twice in my life. First time was in 1998, before security was a pain and at a time where flying was still supposed to be enjoyable. I was pretty stressed about my first flight but I decided to book a window seat. I […]

So I’m boarding a flight from Frankfurt to Philadelphia with the three other members of my band and all is going well. Everyone looks mellow, no kids, no obese people no—wait a minute…OH NO!!! Coming down the aisle I see a large party of people, most of whom are obese and with many small children […]

Flight was from Washington Reagan to DFW. I took my seat by the window and as it got closer to take off, I still did not have anyone sitting in seat next to me. I am thinking “sweet….I’ll have room.” They were about to close the door and one more person got on. It was […]

No one ever wants to fly in the throws of an illness, but I found myself in this predicament on a flight from San Diego to Las Vegas 6 years ago. I had been struck by vertigo, congestion, and a stomach bug…all before we took off. I sat patiently in my seat until we were […]

This isn’t really a horror story but it could have been. I fly a lot for business. I had taken my middle seat for my flight. The aisle seat was taken on my right, and the window seat to my left was empty. I was starting to get excited that I would have an empty […]

Traveling from Indianapolis to Dallas, I had a window seat and no one seated next to me. Then it happened, a late passenger comes down the aisle and lands next to me. He was large and smelled strange. After he got situated, he spread out in his seat into my seat. He even lifted up […]

I had to grab a last minute flight from Raleigh, NC to Birmingham, AL with a change of flights in Charlotte, NC. U.S. Air at the time was flying Fokker 100s for the short hop between RDU and CLT. The Fokker had 20 rows of seating with 2 seats on the left and 3 on […]

A few months ago I was flying back from Heathrow to Minneapolis/Saint Paul. My seat was in the last row of an Airbus A310. My experience in the U.K was great. I suppose all good things come to an end. Barfzilla appeared and took the last seat – the middle seat in the row. My […]

I was on a recent flight with my fiancé to Aruba when we actually thought we had a row to ourselves. Then I notice a waddler making her way to our row. She must have been 350 pounds, needed a seatbelt extension, and seemed to be hyperventilating just sitting still. Here is where it got […]

Most of you probably know that US Air charges $7 for meals. When they first started doing this last year, fatty behind me tried paying his $7 IN CHANGE! Fatty had almost enough quarters in his pocket to cover it. I couldn’t believe he was making the stewardess count all that change. They have such […]
