A flight from Gran Canaria to Amsterdam on Dutch low cost carrier Transavia made an emergency landing on Tuesday. Passengers were fainting in their seats. Some vomited in the aisles. None had even eaten the fish, and the flight wasn’t especially turbulent. No one turned into a zombie.
Passengers “began to gag and become violently ill.” And it all traced to one passenger.
Yesterday a 47 year old woman onboard a Jetstar flight from Melbourne to Brisbane began singing and chanting 20 minutes after boarding and continued throughout the flight.
Nearby children began to cry. Crew and passengers tried to calm the woman down. She “swatted them away” with her bible.
The government has been meddling with Dallas Love Field to benefit large alines and hurt consumers since the early 1970s.
Don’t delude yourself into thinking that when the government regulates airlines, or other large businesses, that it’s doing so for your benefit.
Southwest Airlines flight WN6263 from Fort Lauderdale to Baltimore last night was struck by a pickup truck as it taxied to the gate. No one – onboard the aircraft or in the truck – was injured.
However it was after midnight, and passengers had to wait a long period of time before they were permitted to deplane — and then they were reportedly held in the gate area once they did.
A roundup of the most important stories of the day. I keep you up to date on the most interesting writings I find on other sites – the latest news and tips.
A Delta passenger threw coffee on passengers, overturned a drink cart, ran up and down the aisle and then assaulted an air marshal on a London – Salt Lake City flight.
The woman reported to a fellow passenger that she had a lot going on in her life. She may have also just been frustrated by how many SkyMiles the flight cost her.
Three women who are believed to work as lap dancers brought their own Grey Goose vodka onboard easyJet flight EZY8709 from London Gatwick to Tenerife on Friday.
Their foul language drew complaints, and attention to the booze they brought onboard, so flight attendants confiscated the Grey Goose. It’s unclear what transpired next because they managed to get their alcohol back. And that’s when things spiraled out of control.
Nick Burchill was in the Navy Reserves and some of his navy buddies asked him to bring “Brother’s Pepperoni” out from his home town in Halifax, Nova Scotia. He did. A lot of it.
He “completely filled a suitcase with pepperoni” — some of it was wrapped in plastic, some in paper, and the airline lost his bag. And then the hijinks began.
Unlike Spirit Airlines the TSA apparently doesn’t require flushing emotional support animals down the toilet. Leaving behind the goldfish may have been done in hopes of finding them a new home if the passenger was flying United or Delta amidst their crackdown.
Want I want to know though is how this passenger managed to get the goldfish through the checkpoint in the first place in more than 3 ounces of water that would have been necessary to keep them alive.
Russia has elections next weekend. Putin’s power is secure, but he still has an aggressive PR campaign to look tough in advance of the polls. So we get a stream of Putin tough guy messaging, including that he gave the order to shoot down a Pegasus Airlines 737 in 2014.
