[Mature content] Many years ago, I was on a flight from Newark to Atlanta. In the boarding area was a thirtyish, very attractive woman. And she was dressed rather skimpily. It became obvious that she was with a very old, likely wealthy man. The appearances were that of a ‘gold-digger’ situation. The flight was only […]

On a short business trip from Buffalo, NY to Newark. I was on a completely full US Air plane. Two seats left on the plane, one next to me and one behind me. An elderly man with an English accent, filthy clothes, and pants unzipped, no underwear and held up with only his belt, boards […]

My husband and I were traveling with our 7 year old son to go to Zurich Switzerland from Atlanta on Delta back in Sept 08. Well we were all very excited and had very little hiccups since we arrived at the airport. Security wasn’t so bad, with no delays… As we board the plane we […]

A couple of years ago, I was on a flight from Philadelphia, PA to San Francisco, CA. I don’t mind flying, but I do get antsy sitting mostly still (with the exception of a few bathroom runs) for 5 hours. Mainly, I try to keep to myself and respect other people’s space. I mean, we’re […]

During one of my flights I observed a woman who must have been at least 90 years old stand up in the aisle to go use the lavatory. As she peered down each aisle she suddenly realized that beverage carts on opposite ends of the aisle were slowly moving in towards her. As she kept […]

I was flying from Denver to LA. I was in First Class and thought there would be no problems with the people. Wrong. The guy next to me would not stop talking at the top of his lungs. You would have thought he was screaming to someone in the back of the plane. I tried […]

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 […]

My husband and I were on an eight hour flight from London to Atlanta. An elderly couple was seated behind us. About 30 minutes into the flight, they began to experiment with the in-seat screens on the back of our seats. They both began playing games, but being inexperienced with touch screens, they didn’t understand […]

Just imagine, a 10 hour flight from London to Los Angeles and the guy sitting behind you is 100+ years old and grumpy. He hit the back of my chair the ENTIRE time! But, he got his when we arrived in LA. Customs pulled him aside and he was still arguing with them as I […]

Much of the adventures of flying usually begin before you are anywhere near the plane. I was traveling from Philadelphia to Seattle. It was relatively slow in the airport. I checked in at the kiosk and proceeded to “up” escalator on the way to security. As I approached the escalator there was an elderly Hispanic […]

Last September my husband and I were traveling from Orlando to Omaha. We prefer direct flights, but we got a good deal on a different airline that required a layover in Atlanta. I was already upset about this b/c I despise the Atlanta airport, but whatever, no biggie. We fly to Atlanta on a normal […]
