This actually goes back to the mid 70’s. I was on a non-stop from Miami to Lima, Peru, and unlucky enough to get a middle seat. A couple of oversize Peruvian ladies, who had just bought out half the stores in Miami, and were carrying all their booty (this was before overhead bins and hand […]

Where do I start with this little adventure? There’re two things here… PART 1: Keep in mind: My mom is disabled and walks with the assistance of a cane. I have a messed up back. We arrive at the airport early. The flight status is ON TIME. The first sign of trouble: We get to […]

In 2005, my brother and I were flying America West from Salt Lake City, Utah to Ontario, California to visit my parents. Unfortunately, AWA (Now US Air) does not have non-stop flights between these two cities, and there is a stop-over in Phoenix. But their fares were reasonable, and we’ve never had a problem with […]

I was on a flight from Athens to Montreal, on Olympic Airways in 2004 on an Airbus 340. That’s my first really long flight. It was a night flight, so after a while people tried to sleep. There was some middle aged guy in front of me who actually stood up from his seat and […]

Okay, just want to say that this was a little while ago, so the details are still fuzzy. I was on a flight out of Atlanta, flying on (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Bingo) airlines, which I will never fly again. My mom and I got on the plane, like normal people. Little did I know that […]

I was traveling to Africa with my husband and friends to volunteer in a refugee camp one summer. We figured our adventures would start as we arrived in Africa, but we were sure wrong. We arrived in LAX for our flight to JFK. We had a 6 hour layover there which we already weren’t looking […]

On 01/2009 my family and I were returning home to Houston on an overnight flight from Guayaquil with a connection in Atlanta after enjoying a wonderful trip to the Galapagos islands. Unfortunately, we were not ready for the surprises that were to come. The first shock hit us in Guayaquil when a Delta checking official […]

Where to begin? I’ve been flying for business and pleasure for more than 27 years and have had so many flights from hell that I can’t count them. A few of the more memorable ones follow: When the smoking ban first went into place, a drunk boarded the plane from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh and proceeded […]

This happened to me a few years ago while flying from DC to Atlanta. After the airlines quit handing out free earbuds, I got in the habit of throwing a decent, but not expensive, set in my laptop bag. I was listening to the music channels where you plug into the armrest, but I had […]

A while back, my wife (then my girlfriend) and I were in Paris on vacation. We had a wonderful time (even managed to get “bumped” to 1st class on the flight over the pond from MSP 10 days earlier). Well, we reported to CDG in plenty of time for our return flight to Detroit (MSP […]

I don’t have any long horror story about my fellow passengers, just about the airline itself. Recently when I checked into my United flight, I found that we had been assigned seats in the very last row. As I am in a wheelchair, I called the airline to request something a little closer to the […]
