Well – first it was the flight from hell as anyone knows who has traveled on very old F100s. The last two rows actually rattle your brain, and also have the ability to throw any drinks at you due to engine tremors.

I had a flight to Shanghai a few years ago. I usually go back once every year to visit relatives.

Many years ago my wife and I arrived at Auckland Airport for our long-awaited trip to Hong Kong, flying direct on Air New Zealand. We had planned, skimped and saved for this trip for years, having previously been to Hong Kong many years earlier, and were eagerly anticipating our flight and holiday ahead of us. […]

Departed Sydney, Australia for Helsinki, Finland via Singapore on 4/10/12. Plane diverted to Darwin because of smoke in the cabin. Spent 1.5 hours waiting in a departure hall, 1.5 hours standing in a line waiting to be processed through immigration, and about 2.5 hours in a queue waiting to be given accommodation for the evening.

3 summers ago my husband and I vacationed in Australia for a month. Getting there was an unbelievable saga. Flight from Lansing to Chicago, uneventful; spent the night in our $56/night airport hotel (and all I will say about that is that you definitely get what you pay for!); took the shuttle back to O’Hare […]
