United Airlines is retrofitting 19 of its large planes to “10-abreast seating in economy” class, which currently has nine-abreast seating. Someone please regulate airline seating before we are sitting on the wings.

The first elected official who is able to pass a law ensuring that airplane seats are large enough for human beings to sit in will be incredibly popular. At the moment, we are still moving in the opposite direction.

Fighter jets scrambled on Monday to escort Air France Flight 22, an Airbus A-330 out of Charles De Gaulle Airport, to John F. Kennedy Airport, after anonymous threats were made against the flight.

We don't want to alarm anyone, but it is now more theoretically possible than ever before that you could one day be flying on a commercial airline flight with only one single pilot, and that pilot could die during the flight—oh my god.

A plane full of people headed to LA got a free trip to Nebraska thanks to a passenger who wouldn't stop masturbating on a Virgin America flight, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing.

Early this morning, a small cargo plane crashed into a Chicago house shortly after taking off from Midway Airport. According to the the city's fire department chief, the impact missed the sleeping elderly couple living there by just eight inches.

On Wednesday, a private jet carrying Bono from Ireland to Germany somehow managed not to crash after one of its goddamn doors flew off mid-flight, reportedly scattering the U2 frontman's luggage somewhere in Europe.

Some years ago, the airline industry set itself on the path towards its current record profits by shrinking seats more, and more, and more. What does the future hold for airlines? More shrinking seats.

U.S. airlines posted more strong profits in the latest quarter, and say they expect the good earnings to continue for the foreseeable future, so it seems like a great time for them to install some human-sized seats in the motherfucking planes.

A man aboard a Japan Airlines flight last Saturday allegedly waited until a woman was in the plane's bathroom to force his way in and sexually assault her. The man closed the door behind him, and it took the entire flight crew and the man's mother to pry the door back open.

Have pity on those who are traveling today: a fire set by an FAA contractor at an air traffic control center in the Chicago suburbs has stopped all traffic at O'Hare and Midway Airports, canceling at least 850 flights.

We've all had pets that died. Pets die. It's all part of the cycle of life (and death). But a teen in Holland wearing an awesome Pacman hoodie took the initiative to build the first funeral rat helicopter after his pet rodent died from cancer.

As reclining-airline-seat rage sweeps the nation, it is time for some real talk. Sure, it's fun to fantasize about smashing those rude seat-reclining travelers who smash our knees. But the actual villain in all this is clear: the airline industry itself.

While on board a Southwest Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Albuquerque, Jack Jordan suffered a massive heart attack, which rallied passengers on the flight to give the man CPR. While others gathered to a help, a flight attendant allegedly said the heart defibrillator couldn't be used because the man's chest was too hairy.

Those who keep a close eye on the airline industry tell us that many airlines today are considering doing away with "First Class," in favor of, I suppose, either more ultraluxury seats, or more tiny hell seats. What was "First Class," anyhow?

A United Airlines flight from Chicago to California made an emergency landing in Wichita, Kansas last night after an evacuation slide was accidentally deployed mid-flight. No one was injured and the plane landed safely, according to a statement from the airline.

An American Airlines flight came dangerously close to crashing into an unidentified drone over Florida earlier this year, the Wall Street Journal reports.

Flying is easy. One would think.

So tell me, "Sully" Sullenberger: How do you handle this one?
