Kanye West wears so many hats: musical mastermind, Mr. Kardashian, Yeezus and most recently, that rich asshole who ruins things for everybody. » 11/26/14 5:10pm 11/26/14 5:10pm

A delightfully disgusting website seeks to expose the savage behavior of human beings on airplanes. And it is truly, truly something to behold. » 9/18/14 1:30pm 9/18/14 1:30pm

Eighty-five-year-old Alice Vaticano was supposed to be wheeled to the Southwest Airlines gate to catch her flight home to Denver, but instead a "processing error" left her stranded in a wheelchair in Newark for 11 hours. Vaticano, who is "sometimes forgetful," didn't know where she was, and had no choice but to sit… » 8/27/14 3:50pm 8/27/14 3:50pm

Flying is a terrible indignity and if my entire family didn't live in the Midwest, I'd never do it because no trip up the majestic coast of California is worth 12+ total hours of X-raying, shoe removing, recycled baby poop air breathing, awkward water glass spilling knee bumping claustrophobia. Plus, what's the deal… » 8/26/14 1:45pm 8/26/14 1:45pm

It's a technological marvel, sure, but flying is generally miserable and, for those of us who're a little phobic, terrifying too. And now there's yet another reason to squirm in your seat with discomfort: germs! Apparently, invisible goodies like MRSA and E. coli stick around airplanes for way too long. » 5/20/14 4:50pm 5/20/14 4:50pm

Here is a "charming" video starring the Australian cast of The Lion King, singing "The Circle of Life." On a plane. This is supposed to be cute, but in fact it's my worst nightmare, because there's nothing worse than being trapped in an enclosed space and subjected to talent. » 4/01/14 4:10pm 4/01/14 4:10pm

Air travel has changed so much since the days of Mad Men, boozing businessmen and socially acceptable sexual harassment. So you'd think that, by now, everyone would have gotten the message to leave the flight attendants the hell alone. Not so, apparently! » 2/21/14 10:20am 2/21/14 10:20am

Discount air carrier Spirit Airlines is offering travelers a discount on trips to the Caribbean. Sorry— to use their words, they're inviting travelers to "go down on them" to the Caribbean since they've "shaved" their fares. Get it? Pussy. » 1/22/14 7:00pm 1/22/14 7:00pm

There's no getting around the fact that flying sucks, and none of the changes (for anyone who can't afford a business class ticket) airlines have made in recent years have made it any more tolerable. Flying is especially crappy for heavier passengers, who are still subjected to the same discomfort and inconvenience… » 11/17/13 5:30pm 11/17/13 5:30pm

You can only breastfeed on an American Airlines flight if you do so with a "certain discretion and a sense of modesty" endorsed by a flight attendant, according to one angry lactating flyer. » 8/06/13 6:15pm 8/06/13 6:15pm

A teenage girl claims a passenger spent "long periods" of a six-hour fight "masturbating and exposing his penis" without being stopped by flight staff — who knew exactly what was up but declined to move her to another seat or, like, tell him to put his junk back in his pants before takeoff and landing. » 5/31/13 1:30pm 5/31/13 1:30pm

There are a lot of terrible misdeeds in the annals of air travel, but an incident involving a crying toddler and a racist old creep that allegedly took place on an Atlanta-bound flight last Friday, February 8, might take all the pretzel snack packs. According to the FBI, an apparently cantankerous 60-year-old man got… » 2/17/13 3:30pm 2/17/13 3:30pm

Female flight attendants on South Korea's Asiana Airlines, the country's second largest commercial flight company, might be getting a uniform redesign after lobbying for the company to relax its incredibly strict appearance requirements. Asiana's labor union has been working with South Korea's human rights commission… » 2/06/13 10:50am 2/06/13 10:50am

Have you heard of "airline dating," the hot new online dating trend? Probably not, because it is not actually a hot new online dating trend. But websites for lonely travelers who'd rather find love during a layover than seek out delicious snacks do exist; Steve Pasternack started meetattheairport.com after he,… » 11/28/12 12:10pm 11/28/12 12:10pm
