Flights From Hell

Flights From Hell

AirplaneFlights From Hell flies you into the unknown skies with stories about the adventures and anxieties of airline travel.

Commercial airline travel takes us far, far out of our comfort zone. We're herded into cylinders that zip hundreds of miles per hour at 30,000 feet, subjected to security screenings, confronted with delays and lost luggage, rushed to catch connecting flights, constrained to small seats, scrunched up with strangers, and surrounded by pathogens.

Is it any wonder we end up becoming a bundle of raw nerves by journey's end?

A SEAT AND A TOILET
 IS ALL YOU NEED

I want to say a few words to the people who fly. An airplane is a BUS that takes people and their luggage, from point A to point B. That's all ! I'm tired of flying with people that think an airplane is some kind of resort, just for them. If you drive your car across country, can you go for 5-6 hours without eating? Of course.... more>>
