During a flight back from Amsterdam a fight broke out among several passengers. The plane was pretty empty, but it turned out that one guy had a grudge against a group of three women. It all started when he barged past them when they were on the plane and they had harsh words and asked him for […]

As I am getting on my long flight from Salt Lake City to NYC, a middle aged fat lady is seated next to me. I put my things in overhead bins and nicely say excuse me to climb over her. My seat was in the middle and hers was by the aisle. As I am […]

My husband and I were flying from Boston to West Palm Beach. The seats across the aisle were empty. At one point more than half way into the flight a woman came and sat in the aisle seat next to my husband. She was clearly off of her meds – scratching her head, moving irrationally, […]

I was flying early Christmas Day morning from PHL-ORD-SEA on United. I overheard the father in the seat behind me say to his young son, “Look closely out the window, maybe you will see Santa Claus.” I rolled my eyes and cringed knowing what would soon follow as the flight was delayed and the sun […]
