The photo shows a clever sculpture we saw at New Norcia, Australia’s only monastic town. We’re now in Melbourne, Australia, and it’s cold. Melbourne is known for its four seasons in one day so I’ve bought beanies and gloves with...

Air vs. Car Travel, Travel Safety

Noa Baumgarten @BoredAtHome (5) 26 Apr 20

I've been stuck in Missouri for the last few months while I finished up my classes. I decided to stay because I didn't want to travel. Now classes are over and my summer classes are virtual, so I've decided it's time to go home to...

Please? Stop with the Anxiety!

patgalca @patgalca (18481) • Orangeville, Ontario 26 Feb 20

We leave for Cancun, Mexico, tomorrow morning (Thursday). I woke up this morning with immediate feelings of anxiety. Why? I don't want these feelings. I'm not a very good traveller I guess. All those people crammed into a plane....

It is Chinese New Year, and yet, news has it Wuhan, China is a ghost town. No celebration. Something strange. Especially for the Chinese who welcome each new year with firecrackers blasting loud. Reason being is the novel...

Air Travel

Lynn Fowler @lynnief (1203) • Australia 27 Mar 18

Do you like flying? I love flying, particularly the part that most people hate, take offs and landings. It's the fastest you will ever legally travel on land, and I guess underneath I'm a closet rev-head. If I had ever had...

What Makes An Airline Extra Special?

danishcanadian @danishcanadian (28954) • Canada 21 Jan 18

What do you love about your favourite Airline? For me, it's the frequent flyer miles, and the coffee. I've been flying Air Canada for over 10 years, and every time I go somewhere, I drink all the Second Cup Coffee I can hold. LOL...

Artemeis @artemeis (4189) • China 26 May 17

I can understand the dangers of having a switched on electronics device like a laptop, mobile phone or tablet during flight takeoffs and landings. But I just wonder if the DHS of USA is being hyper paranoid when it wants these...

Kandase @Kandae11 (57230) 10 Jan 17

After migrating to England at age twenty, he visited his mother and other family members back home, just once in forty years. It 's not that he didn't love his mother, or want to see her - but he was terribly afraid of flying. So...

The Horse @TheHorse (238349) • Walnut Creek, California 19 May 16

I just read that a passenger plane bound from Paris to Cairo disappeared over the Mediterranean Sea yesterday. It was a relatively new Egyptair Airbus 320, and was cruising at 37,000, when it disappeared from radar. It was only 30...

A year ago today I woke up in Depoe Bay, Oregon, and travelled to Seattle, Washington to begin my trip home. We checked in at the airport. Everything was on time. We would be arriving in Detroit, Michigan about an hour after the...

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 5 Dec 15

I guess you do not know much about Aegean Airlines, unless it happens to be your national carrier. Most of us are familiar with the big and famous airlines, such as Singapore Airline, British Airways and a few others. If you...

patgalca @patgalca (18481) • Orangeville, Ontario 25 Oct 15

I haven't been taking the time to come on here lately. I find myself kind of wanting to not be on the computer so much. That will change I am sure after next week as my daughter (who is now working for an airlines) is taking me...

How many times have you taken a flight?

John Welford @indexer (4852) • Leicester, England 26 Sep 15

I can count the flights I have taken in my lifetime on the fingers of two hands. The first three were in 1977, for a work assignment - London (Heathrow) to Warsaw, Warsaw to Moscow, Moscow to London. Then there were two pairs to...

John Welford @indexer (4852) • Leicester, England 25 Sep 15

One of the most destructive means by which mankind is harming the environment is by flying jet aircraft all over the place. The emissions from aircraft are enormous, and they are delivered where they will do most harm, namely high...

If You Think Hudson River Landing Was Heroic And Miraculous

skysuccess @skysuccess (8857) • Singapore 1 Nov 11

Then, get a grip on your seats as our pilot from LOT Polish Airlines landed his Boeing 767 with 230 people onboard WITHOUT wheels or rather landing gear, when the plane had a landing gear failure. The plane actually skidded on...
