Air Travel

The bigger airplanes show you a video of how to buckle up, it's still pretty boring to watch. Unless the video was something like this creative contribution from Air New Zealand. I found it to be the first safety video with an actual plot. Watch it and see what you think,

We all gripe about having to take our shoes off when we go through airport security, but according to a list of items confiscated this year by the TSA, footwear may be the least of its concerns.

Save your amateur “funny drunk pass out” stories —  this one will top them all.

When you hear about the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), it’s usually because one of its agents has aggressively searched someone they probably shouldn’t have searched so aggressively. But despite the drumbeat of negative stories surrounding the folks entrusted with our airport security the general public hasn’t turned on the TSA.

With all the fees airlines have been packing on in the past couple years, it may seem that tickets are impossibly expensive. But there are times when it’s cheaper to buy them — and those times are fast approaching.

Since the increased security and airport restrictions that came about after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in 2001, air passengers can understandably at times be a bit uneasy. But one would expect for the crew to manage to keep it together. In a breaking news story, reports have surfaced of a Jet Blue pilot seemingly losing his mind mid flight...

With all the horrible stories you hear about traveling through airports and security here is one that will make you believe in the kindness and goodness of the human heart and soul. It is the kind of story that would make me want to fly Southwest Airlines for the rest of my life. I do encourage you to get a hanky as you read this story. There is goodness still left in this world.

There aren't many things on this planet I dislike more than flying. I love being able to go anywhere in the world quickly I just don't like the motion sickness, the long lines at security and the closeness of sitting next to strangers for hours at the time. Next time you fly why not get the best seats for your buck and get the extra leg room you crave, we've got a site for that!

An airport screeners observation briefly shut down the Lafayette airport yesterday. It turns out the culprit was something you might have in your own home.
