Parents traveling with their five children from Tel Aviv to Paris managed to remember 80% of those children when they boarded the flight.  While that would be good enough to earn a solid “B” unfortunatelyf or them it meant that they somehow managed to forget their 3-year-old in the duty free shop.  The parents realized [...]

Jerry Lewis was passing through airport security in Las Vegas on Friday when authorities discovered an unloaded gun in his luggage.  The comic said that the firearm wasn’t his, as the bag was occasionally used by other members of his family.  He then told TSA agents 5 1/2 hours of stories about how much [...]

Two British women on an XL Airways flight from Kos, Greece, to Manchester were arrested after they attacked a flight attendant with a vodka bottle and tried to open the cabin door while screaming, “I need some fresh air.”  The two were arrested (to the cheers of other passengers) when their plane was diverted to [...]

A drunk passenger on a First Choice 767 traveling from Gatwick to Cuba forced an unscheduled stop in Bermuda after he tried to open the plane’s door while in flight (uh, pay no attention to the part of the story where they say they were flying at 50,000 feet, an altitude typically seen only by [...]

Except that when he arrived at the airport he said [...]

As my mother reads this website, I’ll just say this:  A woman is suing American Airlines because the passenger in the seat next to her was doing something to himself that people typically don’t do in public and the resulting aftermath was reminiscent of a scene in There’s Something About Mary.  American denies responsibility, though [...]

A Brazilian woman on her way to Italy was stopped by baggage control in Munich when they found a human skeleton in her luggage.  After some discussion, it was determined that the skeleton was the remains of her brother, whose last wish was to [...]

A Texas man was sentenced to 10 months in prison after a drunken incident on a JetBlue flight from Houston to JFK.  Jose Roman, Jr, got drunk and was refused additional drinks when he asked flight attendants for them.  So far, so good.  He then got rather belligerent, freaked out on the flight attendants, and, [...]
