An entertaining flying blog with airline travel stories
So we booked our flights MONTHS in advance with said airline. At the time I had a 6 month old, and we didn’t get an extra seat for her since they stated that there is no way the flight would be full – we could use the extra seat for more room after take off. […]

Well I’ve settled into my window seat for an hour and a half flight. An oriental lady and small child take the seat next to mine and a large gentleman has the […]

London to Washington/Dulles, 1995. I was flying back home from a tour of Ireland with my mother. There was a chubby and hyper kid in the seat in front of us who would not stop moving for the entire 8 hour flight. We could hear him talking to the flight attendants and the passengers around […]

It was an unforgettable flight. The wicked witch boarded the plane with her two evil monkeys. I knew it when we made eye contact I was the unlucky soul to be blessed with the family’s presence. Unluckily they crammed into the seats behind me; the “father” was there too. It was a flight from DC […]

Can someone please explain to the countless morons out there who choose to have children and fly with them that “red-eye” flights have become flights for those who need to sleep while in the air and go to work the next morning? Are you going to reimbursement me for the time I miss at work […]

My husband and I were flying for a nice relaxing vacation. For the first time in 8 years, we left our child at home with family. We get into the plane and directly in front of us is a woman with 5 children. She was sitting in a row that had 3 seats. The aisle […]

My 18 month old son and I arrived at the San Francisco Airport at 10PM. The flight was from SFO to ORD. We then picked up another flight from ORD to BUF. It was my first time going home since my divorce and I was already half dreading/half looking forward to the visit. The first […]
