A couple of years ago, I was on a flight from Philadelphia, PA to San Francisco, CA. I don’t mind flying, but I do get antsy sitting mostly still (with the exception of a few bathroom runs) for 5 hours. Mainly, I try to keep to myself and respect other people’s space. I mean, we’re […]

So it is important to point out what kind of person my friend and I am. We hate people sitting between us on a flight. We will actually fake a cough to try to get people to not sit between us. Well this was a SW flight and we thought it may be empty since […]

I’m a phobic flyer, no good reason that I know of to be afraid, I just am. Anyway, my job involved flying from the UK to Germany every three weeks. I managed it by either Gin or Valium (not at the same time). One flight I have decided that gin will be my co-pilot and […]

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 […]

It was late on a Friday afternoon. A bunch of us were flying from Memphis to Little Rock on a puddle jumper. The flight was delayed so we all decided to get something to eat. In the Memphis airport at the time, about the only food to eat was hot dogs. All of us got […]

I was flying from the east coast to the west coast (I can’t give specifics because I had received the ticket from a relative who works for the airline) and was lucky enough to secure a first class seat. It was an older plane but the seats were pretty spacious and there was a large […]

A few years ago I was on a Southwest flight from Albuquerque to Phoenix. Being frequent business travelers my co-worker and I usually sit in the rear of the plane with the hope of finding a little peace and quiet. It had been a long week and we had a few things to wrap up […]

Several months ago my wife and I were on a flight from Boston to Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands. While the flight was full, my wife had managed to score us seats in the exit row allowing us to stretch out a bit and enjoy our vacation from the start. Prior to getting […]

So here is why you should not be drunk while flying, DWF. I was flying out of Seattle to Denver, the flight was 2/3 full but I was the only one in my aisle. I thought I may get lucky and have plenty of room to stretch out. Just before the doors of the airplane […]

A few years ago I had a job interview and the first leg of my flight–Denver to Vegas–was full of rowdy passengers who hadn’t known each other previously but all got acquainted in one of the airport bars before boarding. As they piled onto the plane, laughing and joking, I reread my notes for the […]
