On a flight from Paris to Cincinnati, I was in front of a woman who was kind of annoying. Periodically, she kept punching and kicking my seat. When I was just about to say something, she leaned forward and asked me to put my seat up straight for a moment because she had a CAT […]

My husband and I were on an eight hour flight from London to Atlanta. An elderly couple was seated behind us. About 30 minutes into the flight, they began to experiment with the in-seat screens on the back of our seats. They both began playing games, but being inexperienced with touch screens, they didn’t understand […]

Just imagine, a 10 hour flight from London to Los Angeles and the guy sitting behind you is 100+ years old and grumpy. He hit the back of my chair the ENTIRE time! But, he got his when we arrived in LA. Customs pulled him aside and he was still arguing with them as I […]

(#1) I flew from Phoenix to Minneapolis in coach seat B row 18. If that wasn’t bad enough, seat A and C were occupied by a husband and wife who talked non-stop. To make matters worse neither could have the arm rest down and needed seatbelt expanders, because they each weighed 350 plus. The plane […]

Actually my story has a happy ending! I was on a flight from Chicago to Phoenix. My ticket said row 23, seat A. I found my seat – an aisle one- and in the other two seats were two seriously overweight lards. They both smiled at me (I think they were looking forward to eating […]

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 […]

I have flown many times. In several instances the flight has been full. One of my pet peeves is when two people are traveling together yet they take up three seats. They insist on the row and the window. Then they force you to sit between them. Isn’t it fun when during the entire flight […]

I was on a relatively short flight, sitting in coach behind a family with a father, mother, and a boy of perhaps seven. A few minutes into the flight, I feel a kick to the back of my seat. Kick. Kick. Kick. “All right,” I think to myself. “There’s no sense being unpleasant. Surely one […]

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t think children under the age of 10 should be allowed on planes. They simply can’t sit still or be quiet. I was travelling from DC to OK City. Naturally, I got a Mom and her boy behind me. I kid you not….he kicked the back of […]

A couple of years ago, my wife and I were returning from a vacation celebrating our first year anniversary. We were flying Southwest and sitting next to each other on the aisle near the back of the plane. A young family gets on the plane late and the wife and young child have seats across […]

I live between Denver and Orlando and had until the airline crisis always taken red eye flights into and out of Orlando. When most of the airlines cut the red eye flights, I had no choice but to fly with the ranks of the screaming kids. I have traveled a lot but not a single […]
