There are three kinds of flight experiences: The ones you forget, the ones you’ll never forget, and the ones you want to forget. We’re focusing on those last two in this week’s “Going Places.” Travel expert Matthew Brumley tells stories about experiences he’s had, including:
- The pilot who said “Wow,” into the public address system, without telling the passengers what he meant.
- The near-miss in mid-air.
- The differences between airline steak and airline fish. (Spoiler: It can be hard to tell.)
We want to hear about your flight experiences. Tell us stories in the comments below about funny flights, scary flights, memorable flights and more. We’ll share some of them in an upcoming edition of our weekly travel segment.
