An entertaining flying blog with airline travel stories
I was flying from Hartford, CT to Orlando, FL with my one year old and two year old daughters. Even though my youngest qualified for a free seat, I had purchased three first row seats together, so we would be close to the restroom, and I would have the extra room. Imagine my surprise when […]

After completing a wonderful, action filled, 15 day adventure to Croatia & Montenegro, my Mother and I flew from Zagreb to Frankfurt, Germany with a 3 hour layover, and then flew Lufthansa flight #444 from Frankfurt to Atlanta, GA. Our Vantage Tour guide, Tomislav, had taken very good care of us and after living in […]

[Mature content] I was on a connected flight from DFW to Austin to San Jacinto with my fiance and our then 8 month old daughter. I wanted to take the late flight in hopes that the baby would go to sleep easily and not make a lot of noise (the sleeping didn’t happen, luckily she’s […]

The flight has been going pretty well so far. Wheels up, we’re in the air for a while, no major problems. Looks like life is going to be good. And then, I smelled something… no… couldn’t be… has someone soiled themselves? I look around and to my left across the aisle a mother is changing […]

On a non-stop flight from London’s Gatwick to Minneapolis, I was exhausted after a whirlwind 10-day trip to England, my first time over The Pond. All I wanted to do was sleep. Unfortunately, I didn’t remember ear plugs. I also had the misfortune to sit in front of and across the aisle from two little […]

What better way to start off any trip than showing up to Philly International at 3:00am after driving all night from NYC, to catch a flight to Houston? My girlfriend and I would be connecting in Texas to fly to Liberia, Costa Rica which is about an hour and a half drive to Playa Samara […]

On a flight from Portland OR to Nashville TN I sat behind a woman and her 2 sons that looked to be about 11-13 years old. The woman had no less than 8 drinks with beer chasers during the 4 hour flight. The kids were loud and obnoxious. At first they were playing with Legos […]

In 1997 I went on a skiing vacation to Vail. My trip to Vail turned out miserably and I spent it with some really awful and dysfunctional cousins and their equally awful teenage kids… AWFUL!!!!!!! I was in Vail for 8 days and I was desperate to get back to Houston where I lived at the time… […]

I was flying from New Orleans back to Los Angeles and for some strange reason there were A LOT of babies on this flight!!!! I was sitting all the way in the back of the plane and this allowed me to see all the people boarding. Naturally, by the time the plane was full most […]

We took our son to Florida for the first time when he was barely 3. I explained to him how we were going to be flying “on” a plane, and he took me literally. For days he said he didn’t want to fly “on” a plane. Finally I asked him why, and he said, and […]

Back when my daughter was a toddler, perhaps 2.5 or 3 years old, I took a flight with her on AA from LAX to SJC. The plane was a beat up old 737 that American had acquired in its recent buyout of AirCal (the interior purple color scheme gave it away). My daughter was an […]

On a business trip to Dallas, my co-workers and I had to rush to the airport to catch an early flight home. We decided not to check bags when checking in, but to check them at the gate. This resulted in the loss of a few personal items from my bag. Since we got the […]
