For several years, my family and I lived outside of London in the UK. Being Americans, each summer we’d always try to travel back to the States to see friends and family for a couple weeks. This time, my mom and I were flying from London Heathrow airport to Dallas-Ft. Worth by way of a […]

I was traveling from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Ontario, California, to visit my family. United Airlines had the best bang for the buck at the time, but it meant a stop-over in San Francisco. I was OK with that. Usually I give myself a good hour or more to get to the airport and […]

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 […]

On June 3rd, I was on American Airlines flight 1300 from Dallas, TX to Reagan National in Washington D.C. A little over three hours into the flight, we were told that because of earlier, inclement weather, the runways, gates, etc. at Reagan were congested. As a result, we were waiting on authority to land, and […]

I was originally slated to fly out of SFO on flight 158, service to Hartford, CT at 11:59 pm, 6/20/09. I received two emails and two phone calls from United’s automated system stating that the flight was delayed from 11:59 pm to 12:39 am (on 6/21/09). I checked into the flight early Saturday morning, but […]

We were traveling from Las Vegas to Pittsburgh in 2002. While waiting to go through security, I was behind a young man who had been in a car accident and was on crutches. And his right leg had external pinning, that is, his leg had an outside metal pin system holding his broken bones in place. […]

Six years ago I was standing with friends in one of the check-in lines just before making the return trip from Bali to Australia. I first went to Bali in 1969 and immediately fell in love with the island and its people. I have been back many times since. On moving slowly up the line […]

I consider myself a rather experienced traveler. I have MVP status and travel for business and pleasure. I also have a routine prior to traveling – when I pack I take my drill and tool kit out of my laptop bag and put it in my checked baggage. It was a hectic Monday morning when […]

Last year I was flying from Philadelphia to Los Angeles right before the holiday of Passover. Lucky me, I was chosen for the extra security screening — no big deal, really, since I was two hours early for the flight. The family before me in the extra security screening were Orthodox Jews with a lot […]

I am contacting you regarding easyJet and the way they treated me while travelling with them recently. I have not had much luck in getting a decent response from them – having sent 4-5 letters and emails to their customer services department, and all senior members of management. I have had replies to my emails, but […]

I had the wonderful experience of flying with a toddler recently. My daughter is well behaved, adorable (of course all parents say that!) and rather soft spoken. Our flights were great. The Orlando airport was not. Our flight to Orlando was one of the best I have ever had. We were hoping for the same […]

Worst flying case was my 14-hour flight from Tampa, FL to New York. I could have used Southwest Airlines, which would have offered me a direct flight to Long Island. But NO, my company wanted me to save money, so I had to take a US Air flight, with a stop over in Atlanta. Tampa […]
