Virgin Atlantic Eases Flying Fears With a New App
I wouldn't go as far to say that I'm one of those people with a fear of flying, but when I hear a weird sound under the wing, or there's a loud clunking noise right before take off, I can't say I easily shake it off.
During a family trip once, my dad ended up sitting beside a woman who was beyond terrified to fly. She was not only crying uncontrollably, but she also clenched both of my dad's hands during takeoff.
Oh Snap! When Flight Attendants Glammed It Up
There's a great scene in Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can when Leonardo DiCaprio's con artist character tries to elude the cops by pretending to be a pilot. As he waltzes through the airport, he enlists the help of some glamorous stewardesses (yes, that's what they were called back then) to camouflage him with their identically glamorous outfits. A lot of the photos in this slideshow hearken back to a time that some call air travel's glory years, when service was still good and passengers weren't herded like cattle.
Where Do You Stand? Flying With a Sex Toy
A friend of mine went overseas for a long business trip, and since she wasn't going to be seeing her boyfriend for almost a month, she took her vibrator along for the ride.
Now I'm sure you can relate to missing your significant other — especially the lovemaking — but would you go as far as packing a vibrator in your carry-on? With the souped-up security in the airport, would you be worried someone would discover the treasure you packed, or do you feel safe traveling with anything (even your unmentionable) discreetly?
Mommy Dearest: Is It Alright For a Mama-to-Be to Take Flight?
Mommy Dearest,
There are several trips (personal and work-related) that I will need to take, but my husband and I are thinking of starting a family in the very near future. Besides morning sickness in the first trimester and delivering late in pregnancy, would there be any concerns about flying while with child?

He Runs, He Jumps, He . . . Flies?
I usually don't pay these halftime slam-dunk challenges any attention, but this is too funny to pass up. Watch this fan get a head start on a slam dunk. He may not be much of a ball player, but I bet he's one hellavuh bicyclist.
Best Bites in Flight
One of the toughest parts about traveling is figuring out what to eat when in the airport and even while on the plane. With airlines not offering much when it comes to food these days, our choices are limited. What's even more limited?
Do You Bring Your Own Food When You Fly?
Airplane meals were notoriously bad, so I must admit I don't really miss them. Airport food is really only one step up in my book. It can be very difficult to find something decent and healthy to eat when flying, so I usually pack my own food.

Do You Dress Up When Taking Flight?
Of course! You never know who you might meet, in the air or on the ground...
What Do You Mean No Doggone Gravity?
It's a bird. It's a plane. It's...a dog acting like a bird in a plane?
Jet Lag Is a Drag
Flying gets you where you want to go, but sometimes it seems like your body has to catch up to where you are. Because we fly up to almost 500 miles an hour, we can arrive in different time zones after a fairly short flight.
I'm sure you've experienced jet lag before.
