A Famous Bygone Airline Is Returning to the Skies in 2025

Picking a seat on a plane can often feel like a Goldilocks dilemma to me. That aisle seat that's way up front, so I can get off quickly and not miss my connection, but will likely mean my shoulder gets knocked against each time someone passes by. A window seat that's too far back but is also on the right—and I know I sleep better when I lean in that direction. From the minute I book a flight until the final seconds before boarding, I find myself pulling up the airplane seat map to reassess my options for finding a seat that is “just right.”

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

A passenger offered a honeymoon-bound couple their seat on the plane at a cost they weren’t willing to pay. Wondering if they were in the wrong for charging the newlyweds, the passenger asked Reddit users what they thought, detailing the situation in the popular confession forum, Am I The A**hole. The Reddit writer prefaced the story by admitting their flight was from Melbourne to Dubai, a 13-hour and 50-minute flight non-stop.
