With all of the airline woes as of late, traveling in America via plane seems to be getting harder and harder. Imagine getting all packed up, driving to the airport, parking your car, getting past security, getting to the gate, then anxiously awaiting to board your flight only to see the pilot walk past you in handcuffs.

A Delta Air Lines gate agent announced a proactive approach to dealing with people who try to board the plane before their assigned boarding zone is called. Heard something at the gate in (New York-LaGuardia Airport) this morning. Gate agent was starting the boarding process and stated that if anyone tried to board before their zone was called, their bag would be automatically checked to their destination. I think this is an excellent idea to become policy (if it’s not already a policy that is not being enforced)

Just plane stalkerish.

A creepy guy followed a Georgia mother and daughter into an airport bathroom in Washington, DC, then onto a Delta flight without a valid boarding pass — prompting crew members to kick him off the plane and delaying takeoff, authorities said.

Lauren Benton noticed a disturbed man trailing her family — including her two children, ages 6 and 9 — near their gate at Washington Dulles International Airport as they prepared to fly home Aug. 2, she told USA Today.

“My heart sunk down into my stomach,” Benton said. “With our children we were trying to create the perception that...

There's no two ways about it: traveling can be stressful. From lost luggage to changes in weather, there are lots of unknowns at play and, thus, a wide room for error. One thing that may make getting to your destination a little less nerve-wracking (and a lot more comfortable) is your airplane seat. And it can be worthwhile putting some thought into the best seat on a plane for you.
