Too Drunk to Fly?

Passengers behaving badly can expect steep punishments

Air TravelersAir TravelersMaybe Nisreen Swedberg and Sarah Williams should be thankful they weren't arrested after being escorted off of a Southwest flight last week. A man from Texas is facing 10 months in prison after threatening a flight crew last June.

He's not trying to claim he's too pretty to fly, but 27 year old Jose Roman Jr. is reminding us that it's not just over-confident girls who get kicked off of airplanes.

Roman got aggressive on a Jet Blue flight from Houston to NYC when the flight crew refused to keep serving him booze. It quickly went from funny to frightening, but we're happy to say that no-one got hurt. Thanks to his bad behavior, the plane rerouted to Boston, where I'm sure his fellow passengers needed a stiff drink to deal with their delay-induced stress.

Keep in mind folks, mid-air dramatics buys you a minute of fame, but the arresting officers might decide to give you more than a slap on the wrist for your diva-esque behavior

  • On Surviving a Hurricane While Traveling, Lisa S. said "Growing up in good ole NC, I have survived my share of storms. Actually, where I sit currently (on a barrier island) has been under water many times. Staying on an island is scary. We leave if it is over a CAT 1. The most important thing for us is to fill our gas tanks at the first inkling that there may be a storm. Water, medicines, non perishable food, they're all really important. Honestly, if it is a big storm, alcohol later serves as pay for work. We stock up on EVERYTHING. We start eating out of the freezer days before (like we did tonight, getting ready for Earl). You don't want much to go bad. Then we tie up all the trash cans, secure grills, and hold on for dear life :)"

  • On American Tourist Kidnappings on the Rise in Mexico, Roger said "Better not to drive if you can travel by bus. Buses are not apt to be targets like cars with US plates that also can be stolen. The buses in Mexico are very comfortable like flying in a plane they often have movies and it is safer.Plan your trip and don't travel alone especially if you are female.Women traveling alone are a target Good luck and stay alert."
