I was returning from almost three years of tours in Iraq and Afghanistan on United Airlines from Frankfurt to Dulles and was feeling lucky to have been able to upgrade to business class. The flight was fairly pleasant until a few hours before we landed when a new, male flight attendant appeared. I was recovering […]

I recently flew on business from Northwest Arkansas (XNA) to Charlotte on US Airways. It was an early Monday morning so the flight was almost completely full. I boarded and sat in seat 1F next to the window and had a young woman sitting next to me in the aisle seat. Across the aisle in […]

I was flying US Air, going home to Seattle from Atlanta for Thanksgiving. First of all I’m already mad that I have to pay $15 to check my bag. Now I am playing video games on my Cell Phone which has the option to shut the phone and wireless off and just use the computer portion […]

Boarding a flight from Austin to Denver, I mistakenly did something to irritate the flight attendant. It had something to do with my carry-on, which was of appropriate size and in nobodies way, but I can’t remember what. Whatever I did wrong, it pissed her off horribly. She stopped process and yelled at me until […]

So everyone knows the pitfalls of Southwest – little room to move, crappy flights, and crying babies. However, I was flying back from Las Vegas with my brother, sister-in-law and husband (we’ll call him “Bob”) when I had one of the worst flights I have ever had. First of all, we got there before a […]

I was on a Spirit Airlines flight from Detroit Metro to Reagan International to go to a wedding. The flight time was less than an hour and we were told that after 9/11 any flight coming out of or going into Washington, DC can not have anyone be out of their seats within a 30 […]

I was flying from Charleston, SC via Detroit to Sault Ste. Marie, MI three flights, in August. The first two legs of the trip were routine. In Detroit we switched to one of those little turbo prop puddle jumpers. We had two intermediary stops even though all on the plane were going to the same […]

I flew on US Airways to Costa Rica. I regularly fly down to Costa Rica, usually on Delta. I hadn’t flown US Airways in awhile, but the tickets were cheaper. Never Again. NEVER. Shortly after we took off, a man in the aisle next to me ignored the rules prohibiting electronics–that is, he turned on […]

Our trip was fantastic, our flight down to Cozumel was amazing, we upgraded to first class and were treated awesome! The upgrade to first class coming home was not so much. Do not get me wrong, the flight was great, the food was great, but the girl (I have her name but will not say […]

Several years ago, I was flying on a smaller prop plane across TX. Not too many passengers on board, and the weather was choppy enough to be uncomfortable. During the flight, the pilot comes back and sits next to an attractive woman flying alone. “How has she been?,” he asks. Turns out they dated several […]

My wife, myself, teenage daughter and two infant children flew from Lima, Peru to Atlanta, Georgia via Ft. Lauderdale on Spirit Airlines. From the outset the flight attendants were, at best, surly. I was placing my two year old daughter’s coat into the overhead compartment prior to takeoff and one attendant asked me what I […]

It had been ten months since a major auto accident left me unable to walk without the use of crutches. In December ’06, my husband and I took a vacation to the northern California coast – a short respite from all the therapy and a much needed change of scenery. The trip was lovely and […]
