I boarded a plane and sat in my seat in second class. Wanting to relax from a very long day, I put my seat in a reclining position. Suddenly the man behind me let out a blood-curdling scream – MY LEGS! MY LEGS! GET OFF MY LEGS! All eyes in the cabin were on me. […]

I was on a night flight from Bangkok to Shanghai and was catching some sleep when the guy beside me started to burp loudly (and to remind you some burping comes with smell), next he started snoring loud enough for the world to hear, and to increase my ordeal he farted! That was the worse […]

On my way back from Germany in 2003, I had the pleasure of being seated next to a man and his family. It took only seconds after he sat down for me to realize that evidently he did not believe in deodorant. And for the next 13 hours, with every shift in position he made, […]

Last year was my first time in the United States (I moved to Florida after I graduated from college), and for Christmas, I decided to go home to the Bahamas to spend the holidays with my mother. Since it is only me and my pet cat living in Florida, I thought it would be cool […]

In the high-flying, heady days of the Internet, I was working at a firm in Boston, MA and was attending a conference in San Jose, CA. I was flying back to Boston on a flight with one stop in Denver. The flight to Denver was uneventful, but there we picked up a large group of […]

After boarding a flight from Denver to Nashville, I noticed that the scruffy-looking couple (mid 20’s) in the row in front of me were having a hard time deciding what to do with their gym bag-sized carry-on. Their indecisiveness was getting in the way of people boarding, so they finally just sat down (switching seats […]

I was flying from St. Louis to Denver on a humid summer day. The aircraft was hot and stuffy as we pushed back from the gate and taxied toward the runway. As we waited our turn to take off, the elderly lady in the seat in front of me began to complain loudly about the […]

in Animal Stories

Twenty years ago I took a flight home from the Dominican Republic that was totally full and there was a lot of commotion as people were getting situated. After everyone was sitting and we were preparing to take off, I heard what I thought was a chicken cluck. After a minute or so it got […]

I was recently on a red eye flight across the U.S. – after a 2 hour delay we were finally airborne. I proceeded to recline my seat when the elderly man behind me starting throwing a child-like temper tantrum, hitting and kicking my seat complaining that he had no room. I decided to be the […]

I was waiting in the concourse for a flight out of Miami. I noticed a woman with wild eyes acting fidgety and erratically. I thought to myself that I hoped she wasn’t going to board the same plane. After boarding the plane and after the door was closed, I was relieved that she wasn’t on […]
