My best is when you’re checking in and they ask you if you have anything valuable in your checked-in bags… Err, yes, actually. The whole thing. It’s my stuff I paid for.
This guy deserves some sort of award for what he did on this flight, and I’m not sure whether we go Darwin Award or Ultimate Survivor Award.
With drones evolving at the same pace as app updates it comes as no surprise that this little guy can now do some marvellous things.
There have been a few less-than-desirable airplane stories in the past few months, so we thought we would just continue to add to the list…
Hopefully they manage to locate the absolute wally who let the celebrations get completely out of hand…
One would think the fact that the Germanwings plane is on the side of a steep mountain is bad enough. But, no, there are a multitude of other things to worry about.
Obama manages to pull most things off effortlessly. Watch here as he absolutely nails a clearly much practiced “escape from embarrassment” technique.
It’s little actions like this one that restore your faith in humanity – they can be small and simple and have the largest impact. Just look at the difference this guy made.
The film crew for the latest James Bond movie caused a bit of a ruckus on a private flight a few days ago and have been compared to drunken football fans.
Well, here’s another star for the failing plight of South African Airways. I am absolutely ecstatic to be flying it on Thursday, mind you, especially after reading this.
At the rate air travel is going, I am starting to think I would like to be in control of my flying-mobile, thank you very much. Yay for the future!
It is quite terrifying how a big and solid airplane can simply be torn into a thousand pieces and scattered around a mountainside like confetti.
Long gone are the days when pilots would welcome children into the cockpit for a bit of real life Flight Simulator. Nope, it seems now you just pray you’re going to make it to an airstrip.
With eight major airplane crashes in the past year, it’s a wonder we don’t all start taking ships again. #aintnobodygottimeforthat
The Airbus A320 plane that crashed yesterday in the Alps could have been too old – is that what caused the crash? Let’s have a look at what the pro’s have to say.
Charles and Camilla – they have done a lot in the past few days, most noticeably their spending of R4.5 million on the plane from the UK to the USA and back…
Look, I understand if after 11 hours on a flight you are desperate for a ciggie, but unfortunately you just need to hold it in. Not this lady. Especially on a 150 minute flight.
Harrison Ford had to land his airplane sans engines last week – and it looks like people on the ground knew what was going to happen.
There was a little incident at a New York airport yesterday where a plane narrowly missed sliding into a river because of a little snowbank. They should all go build snowmen in thanks.
Although South African Airways gives you unlimited Oreos on the JNB-JFK route, it’s not enough to make the flailing airline rise above the rest, especially after this latest scandal.
Yoh, there is a time and a place to lose your shit, and it is definitely NOT when you are an adult and in public overseas, and everyone will find out you’re South African. We are trying to look good.
Indonesian authorities are doing a slow but thorough investigation of the Air Asia crash. Whilst they can’t divulge in too much info, they have given us one important piece of news.
2014 was not a very good year for air travel, so you can choose from these lists of airlines for your next holiday. (We suggest not using Malaysian Airlines or Air Asia for the next little while…)
Us South Africans, we love to travel. My personal favourite is the flight between ORT and Nelspruit. It is quick and easy. This new flight in Europe takes the cake though.
Imagine booking an around the world trip that is non-refundable and name-unchangeable. What do you even do? Why, you find a way to make it work, of course.
I am not the best of flyers (even though I have been in planes since I was a fetus), so all my flights generally start with a handful of Xanax and a glass of Chardonnay, because I don’t want to feel any turbulence.
Stupid people make me feel clever on days like this (end of year, late night last night and the three nights before and only one cup of coffee). Please, keep ’em coming.
All I want for Christmas is a flying car… and, oddly, the timing could not be more perfect for me, because there is now a flying car that actually exists.
It’s going to take a long time before poor old Malaysia Airlines is back on track and out of its big black hole of despair. Maybe they should just offer free flights…
Ah, travel. I love it. I am so excited to share a confined space with 300 strangers from all over the world, who may or may not have showered or taken a vitamin in the past week. Fun times.
