I had my second flying experience when I was 7 or 8. We were visiting my sister in Missouri, so we flew out of Pittsburgh because it was closest to our home in Pennsylvania. The flight out was nice, but the flight back was a nightmare. There was a foot of snow dropped on Pennsylvania […]

Two years ago I was applying to graduate schools on the east coast. I had an interview at the University of Connecticut and had flown in from Michigan the night before. I chose to leave a day early and pay for a hotel just in case there were delays and whatnot as it was still […]

My son and I were flying to his great-grandmother’s funeral. He was 11 at the time and I was 7 months pregnant. Due to the fact that we bought the tickets the day before, we were pulled aside at security for a special search. They separated my son and I and frisked both of us […]

I proceeded to my departing gate connecting to Fargo, and waited as other passengers were waiting. Our departure time was 3:45 pm. Then […]

I was flying from Hartford, CT to Orlando, FL with my one year old and two year old daughters. Even though my youngest qualified for a free seat, I had purchased three first row seats together, so we would be close to the restroom, and I would have the extra room. Imagine my surprise when […]

The flight out was grossly late (I have found out that their flights are delayed approximatley 30% of the time – Hawaiaan Air has a 99% success rate of departing on time). Our return flight was 1:00 p.m. […]

Note: I’m flying from Roanoke, VA to Boston via Philadelphia. This particular Friday, every airport above the Mason-Dixon line is swamped by this huge winter storm system. as you can guess, nearly every flight into Roanoke gets canceled.

I was on a late night flight from DC to St. Louis. The flight was delayed, but eventually we boarded, and I settled into my usual aisle seat. I watched people board, and noticed a disheveled woman with an odd package. She was carrying a duffel bag type animal carrier that was absolutely squirming. Inside […]

A double-whammy… Dateline Chicago O’Hare… My Jet-Blue flight from O’Hare to JFK was slated to depart at about 9:00am. As usual, I arrived at the airport with more than enough time to spare. Everything seemed to go well despite a little unruly August weather. I was excited, because this was my trip home from a […]

On a flight from Washington D. C. to Phoenix, I experienced a series of fairly normal events that piled up in a comical fashion that resulted in a 24-hour plane flight. It started innocently enough with the plane pulling away from the gate 20 minutes late. We were about fifteenth in line for take-off, so […]
