American Airlines Is All About Gender Equality
Tuesday, December 18th, 2007On the last leg of my flight home from Jackson Hole, I discovered that Sunday was Role Reversal Day at American Airlines. The lead flight attendant was a tall, masculine-sounding, monotone-voiced male. He was also kind of a prick about shutting down electronic devices, but judging from what happened to my flight, I ...
Back to the City That Never Stops Being Douchey
Monday, December 17th, 2007I know this may come as a shock to all of you, but New York is full of self-important douchebags. And no place is that more apparent than on an airplane.

Steal This Idea: Early Departures
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007So let's say you've got a really, really early flight out of one of New York's airports. Say, 7am or earlier. According to FAA guidelines, you should be there one hour before the flight. So, you have to be there by 6am at the earliest. It's a good 30-45 minutes ...
I Will Never Learn My Lesson
Wednesday, December 12th, 2007LaGuardia Airport and I are sworn enemies. I wish that airport would just fall into the East River. Actually, I don't, because then it would make the delays even worse at JFK. Despite the fact that I've heard horror stories about JFK from everyone on the face of the earth, I have ...
