Commercial airline flights are more crowded than ever due to a reduction in aircraft and routes because of the economy. That results in fewer frequencies to popular destinations, making the flights that are operating even more crowded. Although airplanes are crowded, you should not forget to be courteous to your fellow traveler. These are a few [...]

Brad, of PopSlingers Paradise, posted about this club and I just had to myself.
The “Flight Attendant Appreciation Club,” or FAAC, was founded by a man named Craig. Flying from San Francisco to London in Business Class on a lightly booked flight, the passengers and crew were joking around. One passenger made the comment that “each [...]

Okay, so I saw this ad on TheFlyingPinto blog and I had to post it myself. Maybe they should have reversed the position of the airline logo and make the plane point upwards? ha!

I came across this blog post on Gadling, via Twitter. The author, George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog, writes about passengers and crewmembers being polite to one another up in the air. He writes about the famed orange juice incident on American Airlines and a few personal situations he’s found himself in. He also comments:

For those of you who might be traveling by air this holiday season, I thought I’d put together a quick guide to help you ensure that your travel plans go as smoothly as possible. I’ve been reading some tweets on twitter that a lot of you aren’t having a lot of luck because of the [...]
