An entertaining flying blog with airline travel stories
As station manager at LCA (LCLK), I had always advised my staff to seat passengers with infants exactly behind the Business class for comfort. Last year, on a night flight back to LCA in “C” class, I had a woman with a child and infant seating behind me in Coach. The infant (poor kid) was […]

My family and I were headed for a one week stay in Hawaii. As we boarded the plane to San Francisco, our layover, I noticed a large amount of children. Typically I fly for business and don’t share a plane with many children. As we came to our seats, I noticed that in the row […]

I recently flew from Australia to the United States to visit family for Thanksgiving. My mother has flown to Australia a couple of times in United Economy Plus, so I asked her before I flew if she thought it was worth it to upgrade. She told me, “Absolutely! You’re closer to the front of the […]

I was on my way to a meeting in Malta flying BA business from Toronto to Heathrow and on a connecting flight on Air Malta. The AM flight left on time and I was looking forward to catching up on some sleep, this time in economy. The flight was full and shortly after takeoff I […]

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 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 […]

To the “parents” of the screaming infant aboard Northwest 20 from Tokyo to Minneapolis on Sunday September 7, 2009: On behalf of the other 390 people aboard the flight, we thank you for bringing your demon spawn on board with us. Why the hell would any adult, in their right mind, want to subject an […]

I was flying a few years ago with my family and for some reason Dad wasn’t able to reserve seats for us near each other. I was sitting behind my little brother, who was eight at the time, and the FA seats a little girl next to him who was about the same age. After […]

I was moving back from France to Canada. I was moving home with my two children, ages seven and four. I was exhausted, it had been a long day and the kids did not sleep the whole flight. My son decided to repeatedly play with the shade of the guy’s window behind me. On top of […]

I was traveling with my two year old from Denver to Toronto. When we got to ticketing they put us in seats eleven rows apart, and said sorry we can’t do anything, you will have to talk to the stewardess. As we boarded I took up the same conversation with the stewardess, who told me […]

I was travelling with my two kids, 3 and 7 back from South Carolina for March Break (where we visited my folks). I had booked through Travelocity. Bad idea. Won’t ever 1) book through them 2) travel through Chicago EVER AGAIN. They booked us on a connection we did not stand a snowball’s chance of […]

When I first boarded I considered myself lucky. I knew it was going to be a very long flight and I was privileged to be seated in the first row of the economy section. The seats had considerably more leg-room that the rows behind me. What I didn’t know was that the airline typically reserved […]
