In a real-life version of “Catch Me If You Can,” A Dutch pilot was recently arrested after being revealed as a fake pilot. He had apparently been flying commercial planes for 13 years without a commercial pilot’s license (though he did have a private pilot license). His record as a pilot was completely spotless and [...]

In a true performance in the theater of the absurd, a Texas lawyer is suing the City of Houston, Continental Airlines, and the food court management company at Houston’s airport because his coat went missing. Mind you, after eating in the food court before his flight to Vegas, he accidentally left his $800 jacket and [...]

A recent Popular Mechanics article points out some fascinating factoids about the world’s strangest airports. Osaka, Japan, for instance, had no room to build an airport in their already-crowded region and so they built an airport three miles out to sea!
Gibraltar’s airport cuts across the city’s busiest street, forcing cars to stop- a la railroad-style- [...]

Airline food has always been a sour topic for discourse. Historically, meals often lacked flavor or quality and post-September 11, fewer airlines serve meals at all, certainly least of which on domestic flights. Many people have some scribble in this regard for the complaint box, but what most don’t know is the level of planning [...]

No, this is isn’t an ad for The Casual Male XL (although we do hear they have some decent offerings for folks of all shapes and sizes).

Increasing numbers of Canadians are traveling into the U.S. to catch flights. Doing so can save them upwards of $300 per flight, as compared with what they are paying for tickets in their respective points of departure in Canada.
