  • Take the airplane with you!

    I know many of you may find this hard to believe, but there are passengers out there who actually want to take those germy blankets and dirty pillows home with them, and half of those crazy people actually do it. I’ve seen it. I’ll stand at the airplane door, thanking…

  • Traveling with kids

  • Ivana Trump harasses children on a flight

    Ivana, Ivana, Ivana, you do not – I repeat – you do NOT call a child a barbarian. Out loud. On a flight. Oh sure, you can think it, we’re all probably thinking it, but to outright say it….I don’t think so. Not a good idea. Now I probably would…
