When Bernie Sanders was running for the Democratic nomination in 2016 he charted a Boeing 767 to meet the Pope. Dinner included herb crusted lamb and fine cheeses along with lobster sliders midflight. While the democratic socialist does fly coach, even North Korea’s Air Koryo has a business class.
Senator Sanders, who honeymooned in the Soviet Union, looked sheepish flying first class on an American Airlines Embraer ERJ-175 regional jet.
Two passengers from Quebec were removed from a Delta regional flight in Detroit over their cell phone’s network name, “remote detonator.”
Passengers were kept on board the regional jet for more than three hours over the incident. People still haven’t learned, it seems, that actual NSA surveillance vans don’t have network names like “NSA Surveillance Van #15”
She doesn’t have a rollaboard. She doesn’t have a purse. And she’s dressed in what looks to be a swimsuit, at least at the beginning of the video. As she continues walking she loses even that.
Two years ago a grandmother came to the airport to meet her arriving grandchildren in Southern California – arrived dressed as a dinosaur. Her six year old grandson ran. He was bite-sized for a Tyrannosaurus Rex, after all.
The kids lied in wait. Revenge, after all, is best served cold.
You might think “but planes aren’t wishing wells.” There are 1.4 billion people in China. Flying is new for many of them as the country rapidly develops. Last year a Chinese airport actually put up a sign warning passengers that throwing coins at planes is illegal – and bad luck.
A woman on Air New Zealand’s flight NZ441 from Auckland to Wellington met the man of her dreams, who happened to be sitting beside her in row 17. She was squeezed into the middle in 17B and didn’t mind it one bit.
He even said he wanted to see her again, which makes the lack of contact details all the more mysterious.
The man named Jack found Violet and offered to switch seats. It was her dream come true to sit in business class, and this was her first and maybe only time every doing it.
Some people feel though that if a passenger doesn’t want their premium cabin seat it should go to the next person on the upgrade list.
If the U.S. government is watching the skies, and if Santa is real, then the U.S. governnment knows it and should be tracking his every move. In a Snowden-level plot to keep the public believing both of these things simultaneously, or in a fun move to engage the public and especially small children, U.S. air defense command tracks Santa each Christmas Eve – and has every year since 1955.
Richard Grieco starred beside Johnny Depp in FOX’s 21 Jump Street. Young girls everywhere had a poster of him up on their walls. Now Grieco is 54 years old, picks up the occasional role, but mostly lives the dream of being young and famous even though he’s neither any longer – and certainly doesn’t look the part.
When confronted by police he declared himself the ultimate ‘don’t know you who I am,’ he says “I’m Richard Grieco, you guys know who I am.” An Officer asks him to rate how drunk he is on a scale of 1-10. He answers a 9. Then he changes his mind, so intoxicated he fails to understand the question.
In 2012 a site launched called Miss Travel (‘beautiful people travel free’) it was a sort of dating site largely for well off guys to meet young women who wanted to travel with them. One points blogger actually tried it out.
One woman though is dropping the pretense of meeting people for friendship and straight up offering sex at auction to fund her travels, starting price of $110,000.
