In July of 2005, I was on an Air France flight from Charles de Gaulle, or however it’s spelled. Anyway, I was 17 and coming home from a wonderful 3 week tour of France, Germany, and Austria. Unfortunately, the return home was muddled up a bit, as the London tube bombings occurred two days before […]

Reno, Nevada. United Airlines. 1989. This airport is in the middle of the city and the flight path is surrounded by hotels. There is a severe windstorm but the pilot decides to land anyway. I have a window seat and am watching in disbelief as the runway veers from left to right as the pilot […]

[Mature content] Back when I used to fly coach, on a flight from Bangkok to Kuwait with a layover in Bahrain, there was a group of drunken Arab trannies. All 7 of them had to be in their early 20s. OK no big deal, if they mind their business I’ll do the same. I just […]

I was on a flight from Florida to Tennessee, returning home from a vacation. A lady a few seats back got settled in, then got up to do something, came back, and her cell phone (which she’d left on her seat) was missing. A stewardess noticed her searching all around on the floor for it, […]

My mother, sister and I fly to Augusta, Maine every summer for a few weeks to visit my grandmother and uncle who have a summer home on a tree farm there. We live in Utah, so naturally it is a long boring flight. So back in the summer of 2005 I turned 18 and we […]

Many years ago I was on a flight from Miami to Washington, D.C. My seatmate was an attractive man who proceeded to talk to me. In chatting, he said: “You probably can’t guess what I do.” I could not. It turns out he was a Secret Service agent. He was on the flight to guard […]

On a flight from Las Vegas to Oakland my husband and I were seated in a row of 3 seats and the middle seat was vacant, and I believe the only vacant seat on the plane. About 1/2 and hour out of Vegas we heard yelling, screaming, cursing and the sound of a crying baby […]

I was on a flight from Copenhagen to Bangkok, with the flight going on to Singapore. There were 3 Germans on the flight who started drinking the moment the plane departed, and didn’t stop. No problem there, but they were sitting apart, and wanted to talk to each other. As they drank, they got more […]

Dude. I have a terrible story. I flew from Istanbul, where I was visiting my dad, to San Diego. After being thoroughly searched 3 or 4 times, one of which the attendant may now nearly claim carnal knowledge of my person, I boarded the flight from hell. The flight was 3 hours delayed while we […]

I would like to report my experience and concerns about what happened after Northwest flight 293 landed at 8:56pm in Little Rock, Arkansas on February 28, 2009. After waiting for our bags for more than 30 minutes I and 20-30 other passengers were told by a Northwest baggage handler at 9:40pm that there were no […]

On a flight from Washington D. C. to Phoenix, I experienced a series of fairly normal events that piled up in a comical fashion that resulted in a 24-hour plane flight. It started innocently enough with the plane pulling away from the gate 20 minutes late. We were about fifteenth in line for take-off, so […]

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 […]
