Boarding a flight from Austin to Denver, I mistakenly did something to irritate the flight attendant. It had something to do with my carry-on, which was of appropriate size and in nobodies way, but I can’t remember what. Whatever I did wrong, it pissed her off horribly. She stopped process and yelled at me until […]

The story I am about to relate took place in July 2005. I had booked a direct flight from Cleveland (rock on!) to Gatwick (snobville). I arrived at the airport in plenty of time to make my flight, but some British twit kicked over my bags on the way to the ticket counter. I made […]

My fiancee and I were flying from Las Vegas to visit my brother in Chicago in July of ’08. Las Vegas, of course, has its own reputation and visitors can certainly get a bit out of hand. But I’d not seen anything like this before. We were seated near the rear of the aircraft so […]

In early February I took a 3 day trip out to Oklahoma on a job seeking mission. Flew from FWA-DFW-OKC on the way out and TUL-DFW-ORD-FWA on the way back. I’m an aviation nut and always get a window with a good wing view. I enjoy flying… just not the hell you have to go […]

Recently, I was on a CRJ flight out of DFW. I was among the first to board, but one of the largest men I have ever seen boarded before me. Of course, his seat was next to mine, on the 2 seat side of the plane. By the time I reached my seat, he had […]

I was recently flying back from Rome with my boyfriend, and we had booked our tickets at the last minute so we couldn’t get seats together. It was our own fault and unfortunate, but it wasn’t the end of the world and we didn’t try to change our seats. We boarded the plane and waved to […]

A few years ago, I took off from Albany on an AA super80. It was cloudy and raining when we took off, but everything went as normal. We were bouncing around quite a bit due to the turbulence of the storm, but basically everything was OK. About 10 minutes into the flight, as we were […]

So everyone knows the pitfalls of Southwest – little room to move, crappy flights, and crying babies. However, I was flying back from Las Vegas with my brother, sister-in-law and husband (we’ll call him “Bob”) when I had one of the worst flights I have ever had. First of all, we got there before a […]

I boarded a flight on Continental in which when I arrived to my seat the cushion was pulled out and had a giant wet spot. I walked against the stream to get to the flight attendant to let her know. She told me that maintenance was changing out the seat. I waited quite a while […]

I am a flight attendant for a major airline. Back in the early 90’s during the Gulf War when no one was flying, the airlines lowered the fares to the point where everyone could fly, even people who usually take the bus. Needless to say, there were a lot of people on board that were […]

On a flight about 5 years ago (when the airlines still served food), I was seated behind a young woman with very long straight blond hair. I knew it was very long and straight because after she reclined her seat, she flipped her hair over the back of the seat, where it reached down far […]

Several years ago, I was on a business trip to Asia, which concluded with a 13-hour flight from Narita Airport outside Tokyo, to San Francisco. The plane was scheduled to leave at noon, and the United flight was only about one-third full, mostly with fellow Americans. After we had all gotten settled in our seats, […]
