07/27/26

The Stuck at the Airport review team is exploring Charlotte, N.C. this week.

Why should you mind your manners on an airplane?

07/09/08

For starters, air travel is frustrating enough these days. So it just makes things worse if you insist on fully reclining your seat back when the person behind is already squished. Or if you walk down the airplane aisle letting your carry-on bag smack into the faces of folks already seated. And then there’s this: […]

Fly the skittish skies

07/09/08

“Sit back, relax and enjoy the flight.” No matter what your pilot tells you, taking a plane trip these days is likely to be irritating, uncomfortable and, often, quite maddening.

07/04/08

Flying anywhere this holiday weekend?

While I’m there, I may have just enough time on the ground to do a little shopping for […]

Tattoos – and more – at DFW AIRPORT

07/03/08

I’ve got a long list of services and amenities I’d like to see offered at airports. Speed-dating and remedial classes in packing are on the list. And so is tattooing. Which is why I was tickled to see that, along with a jazz trio and an Uncle Sam on stilts, the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport […]
