when i was on my way back from hood last summer, i had the window seat while there was a british couple in there mid-late 20s who consistently made out and used obnoxious love talk that made you not want to fall in love. from there we had to wait at the gate for almost 45 minutes while the skywalk was being fixed, during which the man asked the girl, "what sound does a _____ make?" for different animals and she would make the fucking noise loud enough for half the plane to hear. It was weird as shit...

Two summers ago I was flying from Winnipeg MB to Greece with a quick stop in Toronto. About half way through the flight, while still over the ocean, the pilot came in over the speaker and said we were having mechanical issues and had to turn around to the closest possible airport. It was pretty scary at the time all things considered, we ended up getting to an airport and just switching planes after a very long delay.

When I was flying out of O'Hare, two TSA agents stopped me when I went through the metal detectors, swabbed my hands, and asked me to sit down, all in all it took about twenty minutes. I asked after a little while and they said I could go.

Good thing for showing up an hour early for boarding.

Whenever I'm sitting in the terminal I always imagine getting to sit next to a hot girl and then joining the mile high club. Never works out how I imagine it though.

Also, if you look at the people getting off the plane you'll see some really hideous faces, or people who might be a guy, might be a girl but you cant quite tell. It's entertaining but kind of depressing at the same time.

I had just got off a plane in Washington from Germany, and I was riding a trolley from terminal to terminal. The trolley was filled with old people and people who just got off a 8 hour plane ride. I don't know why but out of nowhere the driver slams on the breaks and literally everyone in the trolly just tumbled over and fell to the floor. Myself and a few other people were still standing and I was biting my tongue trying not to laugh but it was hilarious.
I felt bad cause someone could have been hurt, but come on it was funny.

Air NZ is the most legit airline I've ever been on, by far. The plane was super nice-free movies, games, music, etc in the seatback tv screen thing. The stewardesses were really fun and chill and helpful. Read a lot, listen to music, watch movies, draw, sleep, etc is about all you can do. I sat next to this couple going for their honeymoon down there, luckily they were pretty cool and not all touchy feely n shit.
Also, on a connector flight to chch they gave out free wine cause they sponsored this wine festival and had mad free bottles to pour, woot!

first of all. jetblue is the best. second. my best airplane/travel story is i was at a hiking camp over the summer and on my way back out of Denver my flight was delayed because this is america. so i arrive in laguardia like 2 hours late and miss my connection to Burlington VT so they put me in a hotel after a lot of time spent sitting at the help desk. so i get there and its like 11:00 and im like fuck, my flight is at 7:00 am so i will just stay up all night and not miss my flight, and also some other people missed the same flight and they said they would get me up in the AM also. so i lay down and watch like police shows and river monsters until like 4 am when i fall asleep cause i was exhausted. so i wake up at 7:30 am and am like oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck. like 14 years old in NYC with no money, no cell phone and no plane ticket. so i rush downstairs and am like i have missed my flight get me to the airport to the desk stass, so they send me to the airport and like halfway there i realise i forgot my brother ipod touch in the room. so i am like i can either get my ass whooped and leave his ipod and buy him a new one, or i can miss a flight and buy an airline ticket. so i chose the first one and tell my driver to take me back to the hotel and grab the ipod then get to the airport and rush to the desk and im like, i just missed my flight, what do i do? and she looks at my ticket and is like, your flight is at 11 even though it said 7:30. so then i sat in the airport and ate complimentary donuts.

i'm a firm believer that babies/small children should either be given a xanax before boarding a plane, or a fucking puppy when they leave the plane. (to punish the parents for putting the rest of us through the torture of obnoxious children on an airplane)

I was on Malev Airlines (Hungary's airline, no longer functioning) and I fell asleep, and when we touched down I awoke from my fitful slumber and released a bloodcurdling, surprised scream so loud the whole plane looked at me, and when we got off the plane everyone gave me the oddest of looks.

This was about 3 years ago, and I was flying to San Diego. It was a normal flight but right after we landed and everyone is waiting to get off the plane, I see this guys shirt. The man is a chubby guy that probably played a lot of video games and/or went to a lot of strip clubs throwin hunnits. But his shirt looked like chinese or gibberish writing all over it. Then at the bottom it said, "Read my shirt sideways." So I tiled me head, and the shirt then read, "Show me you tits." I looked up with a surprised look on my face and the guy is staring right at me with the biggest grin on his face. Real awkward after that.

this one time, flying to Germany all the flight attendants were super hot. Flying Lufthansa

This other time flying to Sweden i got Biz Class with the most awesome gay flight attendant (gay flight attendants are as a rule always better at their jobs)

This other time flying first class the flight attendant (gay) took the manifest around first and addressed everyone by name and asked what they would like for breakfast. i was very impressed

This other time i flew southwest and i thought i was on a bus. However southwest people are generally the happiest people i have encountered in the airline industry

This other time in Italy they came through with snack service TWO TIMES ON AN HOUR FLIGHT, i was impressed.

Flying to hawaii there was no complementary food other than my 1 bag of peanuts. i was pissed

This one time i spent the night in the seattle airport which is really nice

This past summer I went out west with my twin brother (Black.Bird) and on the way back we both got the seats right in front of the emergency exit. Sitting in front of the emergency exit has a big drawback as you can't recline your damn seat.
So here we were kind of disappointed and next thing you know a flight attendant went to my brother and asked "What is your name?" After replying, the flight attendant told my brother than they assigned him a new seat. Which was so random..
So my brother not only got relocated to a better seat, he got upgraded to executive class for no reason!
Just to make things worse my brother sent me pictures of the menu and its wine selection while I was stuck with an upright seat, stale crackers and ginger ale.

I shall share some of my airplane-related novels with the common people.


1.) Was flying from Kiev, Ukraine to Odessa, Ukraine. it's like a 20-45 minute flight, so we're on this airline called aerosvit. And they bump us up to business class for some reason. So we took a bus to the plane, got on, not too much standing room (compared to a larger plane) this had one seat on one side and two on the other, and it was just a tight fit in general, that was.. well whatever, you can't really fix that. ANYWAY! So they serve us a meal. TWICE, on an 30-45 minute flight, and they like served wine over and over and shit. Man, I fucking love business class. I mean, we payed the economy fare, just for whatever reason we were given a business class one. Then the landing sucked, the plane landed really hard on the ground, like the whole plane sounded like it would break. Yup.

2.) I was flying from JFK (New York) to Iceland for a short vacation on the way to France. We took their flagholder airline which was Icelandair (creative, eh?). So we get on the plane, they serve us these water bottles, they were made from glacier water in Iceland (not the bottle, the water) and it feels similar to when you hold fiji water, makes you feel rich and stuff. So there was no food served on the plane, kinda sucked, silly skinny Icelanders. But the whole flight just had a really calm and professional vibe to it. Really felt .. Classy.. It's a classy kind of classy..

3.) I was on Newschoolers air. That was just steezy. I came on the plane, all the flight attendants came up to me and were yelling at me like "VIBES ++++++++++++++++++++++++" and this one girl sat next to a guy, and the guy was like "I'm gonna throw gallons of karma at the boarding pass lords"
Takeoff was crazy. We did a switch 3 off the runway, landed switch.
It was a chill flight, they definitely deserve some karma and an instagram like or tw

I had a sexy ass blonde chick next to me on my plane ride from Belgium back to the US. I really wanted to try and succeed in the Mile High Club with her. I flirted the whole flight, exchanged numbers and emails and shit, but it just never happened on the flight. So disappointing. She did end up sending me a nudie though, so I guess I really cant complain about that. I don't get it. From my experience, blondes are always so goddamn kinky. Them and redheads... if you can find one with a soul.

I don't fly enough to have any good stories. With that being said, discovering that you can bring mini bottles through security as long as they fit in your zip-lock was both beautiful and dangerous...I will never fly sober again..

This is too good of a story to not to post,
My mother and father (dad is 70yrs mom is 61) were flying home to Canada from Indonesia through Europe. It was an underbooked overnight flight so my dad grabbed a row of seats in the back and went to sleep. My mother was sitting in the outside row with a French guy about 45ish in age with an empty seat between them, they begin chatting and before long are looking through each others cameras telling stories of their travels and each others famillies. The French guy asks my mother if that is her husband in the back of the plane and if he is sleeping. Some time passes while they're looking at photos, then out of nowhere the French guy pulls his camera away and says ( in creepy French accent) "you like" and his penis is hanging out. My mother never takes anything seriously so she is laughing her ass off, he puts his dick away and they continue convo. Until it happens twice more. My mom eventually moved seats.

TL;DR a French guy pulled his cock out in front of my mom
I will not post a pick of my mother so fuck off.
