I am a retired United FA and boy, do I have stories… from a baby croc stashed in a carry-on from Florida (that escaped onboard and bit some ankles), to a stow-away in the crew bunk room from London to San Fran (he was Hungarian and could only translate through drawing stick figures that he […]

I was flying home from a relaxing vacation in Lakeland Florida and of course our flight flew from Orlando…. home of Disney World. As my luck would be, the flight was full and who would sit beside me a lady who gets very sick on planes. As the plane took off her appearance started to […]

Well, mine isn’t nearly as terrible as most of the stories posted hear but here’s my horror story. I was taking a flight to Seattle with my brother to go visit our family for Christmas. I was 14 at the time I think. Everything went smooth, the check in, boarding, seating, everything. Except for the […]

The flight has been going pretty well so far. Wheels up, we’re in the air for a while, no major problems. Looks like life is going to be good. And then, I smelled something… no… couldn’t be… has someone soiled themselves? I look around and to my left across the aisle a mother is changing […]

On a recent flight from BOS to ORD, a passenger asked the FA if they could take their dog out of its carry-on bag and let it sit in their lap. I was shocked when the FA said yes! Needless to say, the dog got loose, ran up and down the aisles and under the […]

My fiancee and I were flying from Las Vegas to visit my brother in Chicago in July of ’08. Las Vegas, of course, has its own reputation and visitors can certainly get a bit out of hand. But I’d not seen anything like this before. We were seated near the rear of the aircraft so […]

I boarded a flight on Continental in which when I arrived to my seat the cushion was pulled out and had a giant wet spot. I walked against the stream to get to the flight attendant to let her know. She told me that maintenance was changing out the seat. I waited quite a while […]

About a year ago my teenage son was flying from Vancouver to Calgary. He was bringing with him a cat we were rescuing. The cat is now a very much loved part of our family but at the time he (the cat) had no idea what was going on and he didn’t travel very well. […]

I was flying from Washington to Nashville. I knew something was wrong when I got on board, I had been assigned the aisle seat in the last row on a very small regional jet, i.e. just opposite the bathroom. My seatmate, a young college student, had her face hidden under her turtle neck sweater. I […]

Back in 2005, on a United flight from Omaha to Denver, I was seated in the front coach row waiting for our plane to take off. I was the only person on that side of the aisle and I had the window, so I thought I had it made. But just before the doors were […]

I usually cut people some slack when they don’t strictly adhere to the “Remain in your seats while the fasten seatbelt light is illuminated.” When you have to go…right? However, a flight from Nashville to Miami completely changed my mind. I was seated in an aisle seat; a mid-30’s gentleman (I’ll refer to him as […]

In June 2000, I was flying back from Helsinki, Finland, to New York LaGuardia. It was quite a large plane that had two “sections” of coach class, separated by a pair of restrooms. I was seated in the first row behind those restrooms. Since it was a long 7-8 hour flight, I decided to make […]
