I’ve always wanted to visit Europe. So when a friend invited me to accompany her and her young daughter on an overseas trip I jumped at the chance. A roundtrip ticket from Charleston to Zurich for $450… EXCELLENT! For that price I could even afford to take my 4 year old son. Well, my dream […]

I had just boarded a flight out of Anchorage with my then 2 week old baby. He had been peacefully sleeping until we were in line for take-off. He then woke up and was hungry, not crying really but that newborn mewling they do before the actual cry starts. In the amount of time it […]

Two weeks ago I flew from Newark, NJ to San Francisco and there was a couple with a baby in front of me. In the middle of the flight the couple decided to change the baby’s diaper right on their seat and guess what?…was full of poop! You cannot imagine the smell in the plane. […]

I can laugh about it now, but it wasn’t funny at the time. Several years back, while in the Navy stationed in Japan, my wife, my nearly 2 year old daughter and I, flew home to Providence RI for vacation. To save money, we elected to hold my daughter in our lap, instead of paying […]

I travel a lot for business. While waiting for a recent flight from Chicago to Charlotte I noticed a younger couple with three small children – one boy about 3 years old and then twin babies in infant carriers. I commented to my co-worker that I hope they are not on our flight. The gate […]

My family (wife and daughters ages 6 and 3) and I just returned to Minneapolis from our trip to Florida over winter break and just when I thought customer service for airlines could not be any worse, Southwest Airlines went and proved me wrong. Everything I had ever heard about Southwest had been fairly positive, […]

I took my three children from Idaho to Virginia with a change of planes in New Jersey. The first leg of the trip was fine. In New Jersey, there were flight delays due to rain. There wasn’t enough room for everyone to sit down and it was very crowded. One man seemed to think it […]

In 2006 we were flying from Frankfurt Germany to the east coast. We were traveling with our two young children ages 3 & 4 years old. The airline (which previously we had good experiences with) gave us all separate seating in areas where we could not even see each other. We thought once we pointed […]

Just came back from flight from Boston to Tampa. I have 3 kids. I was sitting next to a father and his 3 year old, and behind us was the mother and an infant. We get airborne and I start smelling poo. I turn to the father and say, “Gosh something smells like poop on […]

My wife and I decided to take our kids, ages 1 and 4, to Las Vegas for a vacation. When trying to book the flights we could not get a direct flight back from Vegas to NY. Speaking with the Northwest reservation agent, she suggested we take a red eye flight that had a stop over […]

Well, mine isn’t nearly as terrible as most of the stories posted hear but here’s my horror story. I was taking a flight to Seattle with my brother to go visit our family for Christmas. I was 14 at the time I think. Everything went smooth, the check in, boarding, seating, everything. Except for the […]

I was the passenger from hell. I was flying from Texas to MD with my 2 month old son. I knew I did not fly well and had asked the doctor what I could take as I was nursing. He said it was quick flight and I would be fine. WRONG!! I had to take […]
