I was on a long distance flight. I deliberately picked a window seat in the first row in economy. I knew I’d have more room there to stretch my legs, and there would be no one in front of me to lower there seat onto my knees. After I took my seat, an woman in […]

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 flew via USA 3000 from Fort Myers, FL to Detroit, MI. This by far was my worst experience flying. It was a full flight, and my wife and I were in an the outer two seats with the aisle seat vacant. Of course I had to be the one next to the empty seat. […]

[Mature content] Not too long ago I was traveling home off-duty from my job as a flight attendant from Atlanta, Georgia to Cleveland, Ohio after visiting with my fiance. This was the last flight of the night and being that I was exhausted after a busy trip; I was just looking to relax and sleep […]

#1) We fly coach from South America to the United States with American Airlines at least once a year. In the last years, we have been noticing that seats have been changed. Seats are more close together and they can recline less. This is no problem for a 2 or 3 hour flight; but for […]

I have traveled overseas fairly often in my young life and have discovered many interesting things about myself. I enjoy plane food, but I hate pretzels.

In 2006 we were flying from Frankfurt Germany to the east coast. We were traveling with our two young children ages 3 & 4 years old. The airline (which previously we had good experiences with) gave us all separate seating in areas where we could not even see each other. We thought once we pointed […]

This is a long one (especially from my perspective) but worth the read: So I’m on this Continental flight from Houston to Kansas City sitting in the middle seat waiting for the rest of the passengers to board. I am 6 feet tall and weigh around 250 lbs. but easily can fit between the arm […]

The one night trip from Philadelphia to Miami included a same day meeting on arrival. My upgrade had come through so I printed my boarding pass at home. My first meeting of the day was at the airport lounge in Miami. All good. I stepped into the cabin and discovered that 3-C was now the […]

Four years ago, I was returning back from Beijing to San Francisco with my mother. She had joined me on a business trip as she had never been to China and my father was not a big traveler. So this trip had been a big treat for her and it had gone very well. To […]

I was on a Canadian Regional jet from Toronto to Charlotte. I was sitting in the exit row. This very large lady came on board and promptly announced that the seat next to mine was hers. I knew I was in trouble when she asked “does that arm rest come up?” Thankfully the armrest didn’t […]
