An entertaining flying blog with airline travel stories
I was on a flight from London to Detroit. I was seated in the middle seat of a 3 seat row, between two classmates. The seat row to my right was inhabited by two children and what seemed to be their nanny. After we took off, both of the little brats decided to run up […]

If I recall correctly, I was flying on a 737 from Chicago to San Jose, or perhaps San Jose to Chicago. I had the aisle and seated next to me was a mother and her son, about 7 years old. Immediately after the aircraft reached cruising altitude, the mother popped out of her seat and […]

I’ve always wanted to visit Europe. So when a friend invited me to accompany her and her young daughter on an overseas trip I jumped at the chance. A roundtrip ticket from Charleston to Zurich for $450… EXCELLENT! For that price I could even afford to take my 4 year old son. Well, my dream […]

I had just boarded a flight out of Anchorage with my then 2 week old baby. He had been peacefully sleeping until we were in line for take-off. He then woke up and was hungry, not crying really but that newborn mewling they do before the actual cry starts. In the amount of time it […]

Two weeks ago I flew from Newark, NJ to San Francisco and there was a couple with a baby in front of me. In the middle of the flight the couple decided to change the baby’s diaper right on their seat and guess what?…was full of poop! You cannot imagine the smell in the plane. […]

I can laugh about it now, but it wasn’t funny at the time. Several years back, while in the Navy stationed in Japan, my wife, my nearly 2 year old daughter and I, flew home to Providence RI for vacation. To save money, we elected to hold my daughter in our lap, instead of paying […]

I travel a lot for business. While waiting for a recent flight from Chicago to Charlotte I noticed a younger couple with three small children – one boy about 3 years old and then twin babies in infant carriers. I commented to my co-worker that I hope they are not on our flight. The gate […]

In 2006 we were flying from Frankfurt Germany to the east coast. We were traveling with our two young children ages 3 & 4 years old. The airline (which previously we had good experiences with) gave us all separate seating in areas where we could not even see each other. We thought once we pointed […]

I was flying from Washington DC to San Jose, California. There were several young mothers and couples with toddlers through 4 year olds. I was in an aisle seat, which I prefer. I don’t know exactly how it started, but all these young kids figured out they were in close proximity and they were soon […]

I was on a S7 flight from Kiev to Moscow. The couple in font of me had a 3 year old daughter whom they allowed to run NAKED about the plane. Even during landing and takeoff the kid nudist ran up and down the isle. The parents did nothing to restrain their child even after […]

My husband, seven-year-old son and I were taking the overnight flight from Honolulu to Dallas. The only return flight we could get from Hawaii to the mainland was at night, so we figured we’d take what we could get. We were shoved into one of the very last rows of the plane, next to the […]

I was on a flight from New York to Los Angeles and as I board the plane and walk up to my seat, I notice a young boy – at least 2 years old – sitting in my seat. I walk up and say to the woman next to him, his mother, that I believed […]
