I was on my way back to KY from a wonderful trip to Alaska with my new boyfriend last year. Said attorney boyfriend was a NWA “Gold” member and we were flying in “first class” of a jet that didn’t actually have first class. The flight attendant requested everyone to remain in their seats since […]

It was early 2000 on a flight from New Jersey to Atlanta. I was finally going home after a long working four-week trip. The flight was packed. Truly, sardines have more room in those cans. Spring hadn’t quite arrived. It was relatively warm, but there was still snow on the ground in Jersey. However, conditions […]

in Luggage Stories

This took place quite a while ago, but it seems some things never change. In 1984 (yes, ’84) my husband and I went to Europe on our honeymoon, making several stops. The last visit was to London. We were booked on British Air for the return flight to the USA. I believe the plane was […]

Welcome to the freak show, fellow passengers. Here’s the circus I’ve seen – people are what makes flights from hell… Passenger #1 – In the bulkhead – takes off his shoes, then proceeds to use the wall as some sort of foot scratching pad, rubbing his feet on every surface he could reach. He was […]

I want to say a few words to the people who fly. An airplane is a BUS that takes people and their luggage, from point A to point B. That’s all ! I’m tired of flying with people that think an airplane is some kind of resort, just for them. If you drive your car […]
