I was taking a commuter flight from LAX to San Diego several years ago and was tired from a long cross country flight…I just wanted to get home peacefully. We boarded like normal, took our seats and I settled in for a quick trip back to God’s Country. We began to taxi to the runway […]

My girlfriend and I were recently on vacation in the Middle East. We had finally reached the end of our rigorous travel. Our first flight was from Aswan to Cairo at 11 pm, which was no big deal. We got our bags and had to push them in carts to the international terminal; mind you […]

I was about to board a flight from Atlanta to San Francisco, when a obscenely FAT (is there something beyond morbidly obese?) woman rudely cuts in front of me, mumbling about her being “disabled.” As a polite Southern guy, I just let it go, figuring it would be easier for everyone if she got on […]

Recently, I was on a flight from Salt Lake City to Atlanta. It was an overcrowded flight with too much luggage. No one seems to want to pay the check luggage fee of only $15.00 so boarding was a nightmare. Anyway, we got in the air and the flight attendant had just made the announcement […]

On a recent flight from El Paso to Denver on board a 50 seat RJ I found a reason to give up flying. I was in row one on the aisle; a woman sat directly behind me in row two. After we departed and leveled off the in-flight “service” began consisting of our choice of […]

About 6 years ago I was on a flight from Orlando to Atlanta. The weather was bad and getting worse. To everybody’s surprise we taxied down the runway and took off. Everyone was happy thinking we were the last plane to depart. About 15 minutes into the flight it started getting rough. The pilot asked […]
