We were flying to Orlando Sanford a few years ago on Monarch Airlines from Newcastle. The flight was supposed to depart at 8:30 in the morning. At about 8:00 we began to board. We sat on board the aircraft for 15 minutes when an announcement was made. The flight was delayed for several hours. We […]

I was flying from Atlanta to Honolulu in 2005. This was the 4th or 5th trip from the east coast to the Hawaiian Islands that year, so I was not particularly looking forward to the flight. We were delayed an hour at the gate for no particular reason. So when we were seated I was […]

[Mature content] I was on a flight from Dallas to DC, and I got stuck in the middle seat due to last minute changes. As usual, whenever I get stuck with a middle seat, a very large person gets the seat next to me. I am a male with a muscular upper body, so I […]

[Mature content] My partner and I had just attended a wedding in Palm Springs and flew the last flight of the day out to PHX, which was our layover to PDX. We were tired from a long week of fun and festivities and were due to work the next morning. I boarded the plane, sat […]

I was once on a flight from my childhood home of Burlington VT to Atlanta. I spent the weekend with some old friends from high school. The night before my flight was spent sitting on bar stools, doing what old friends tend to do. We stayed up late into the night and I was prepared […]

I often fly on both large airliners and smaller aircraft. I almost always prefer flying on noisy, drafty and sometimes rickety small airplanes instead of airliners because small aircraft travel means no hassles with luggage, security and those annoying other passengers. Naturally, I didn’t think too much of getting on to a Twin Otter to […]

I had a 6:30am flight from San Diego to Philadelphia. I was soooo tired, and barely awake getting on the plane. I had the emergency exit row with two seats. There is a young woman in her mid-20’s sitting next to where I would be sitting. I found a place to put one bag, and […]

A while back I was one a first class flight from Haiti to New York a row behind the front and in the middle. It was a relatively empty flight (about 1/2 to 3/4 full), everything was going smooth enough and I was just getting set to snooze. Pretty soon I watched a FA ask […]

I was traveling with two of my buddies from JFK to Buffalo for our annual Bills/Jets game on a Saturday night. Being the young males that we are we waited for our flight in one of the terminal sports bars, drinking and watching college football. As we sat there we befriended two guys drinking next […]

I would say that I used to be a regular flier. I would fly about once a month. Turbulence and thunderstorms never really scared me, until this flight. I was flying from Sioux Falls, SD to Chicago a few days after Christmas. The flight was horribly delayed because of the massive snow storm that was surrounding […]

I was in an aisle seat flying from Washington DC to San Jose, California, but unexpectedly found myself in a toddler playpen for 5 hours. This flight had a large number of toddlers and young parents. Soon after take off, toddlers started wandering up and down the aisles (with Moms), discovering and visiting all their […]

I wanted to plan a trip to Cancun where I had vacationed a few times before. I was single at the time and the all-inclusives were based on double occupancy, so for a few hundred more it was worth bringing a travel mate. My ex-wife, yes ex, and I got along well, so I asked […]
