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 […]

It was early 2000 on a flight from New Jersey to Atlanta. I was finally going home after a long working four-week trip. The flight was packed. Truly, sardines have more room in those cans. Spring hadn’t quite arrived. It was relatively warm, but there was still snow on the ground in Jersey. However, conditions […]

I was on a flight from Tampa to Louisville returning home from a business trip. I always try to get an aisle because I’m a bit claustrophobic. This rather large man was sitting in the window seat when I boarded. We said the usual pleasantries and shortly afterwards, the flight took off. Within 30 minutes, […]

Our trip was fantastic, our flight down to Cozumel was amazing, we upgraded to first class and were treated awesome! The upgrade to first class coming home was not so much. Do not get me wrong, the flight was great, the food was great, but the girl (I have her name but will not say […]

Several years ago, I was flying on a smaller prop plane across TX. Not too many passengers on board, and the weather was choppy enough to be uncomfortable. During the flight, the pilot comes back and sits next to an attractive woman flying alone. “How has she been?,” he asks. Turns out they dated several […]

I was flying from El Paso to Burbank about a year and a half ago. I travel with a service dog. When I make my airline reservations, I am very clear that I travel with a service dog. My flight from El Paso to Phoenix was cancelled, and *** airlines put me on another flight. […]

I was on a red eye from San Fran to Hartford. The plane was packed but I happened to have the only row that wasn’t full (or so I thought). As the gentleman 2 seats next to me and I looked at each other, happy that we wouldn’t be 3 across for a red eye, […]

Several years ago I was on a business trip from Ontario, CA to DFW. I arrived at the airport with time to spare and waited for my flight. We eventually boarded–a full flight. As we were getting buckled in, I heard the flight attendant talking to a gentleman seated across the aisle and behind me. […]
