[Mature content] On one of my flights, a male took the middle seat next to me. He told me something to which I smiled and nodded. I thought it was obvious when I didn’t remove my headphones that I wanted no conversation. He told me something else and I smiled again and pointed to my […]

Welcome to the freak show, fellow passengers. Here’s the circus I’ve seen – people are what makes flights from hell… Passenger #1 – In the bulkhead – takes off his shoes, then proceeds to use the wall as some sort of foot scratching pad, rubbing his feet on every surface he could reach. He was […]

Some years ago my husband and I signed up for an all-inclusive ski trip to Austria sponsored by a ski club in our area. I don’t think it was a ski club – more like a drinking club from a local bar that decided Austria would be a good place to party. The flight over […]

Tedious passenger… On a recent flight from Las Vegas to San Francisco there was a young guy seated three rows behind me who clearly believed that he was ‘the next Rich Little’, and how wrong he was! His loud, non-stop, awful vocal impersonations of – amongst others – Borat, Ali G, Eddie Murphy, George Bush, […]
