Someone, for whatever cruel reason, just sent me the clip from the flight attendant zombie attack in World War Z. After I climbed out of the corner I was slowly rocking myself in, I decided to pull up some real, more uplifting clips of flight attendants. Here are the best ones …

Many of us have experience travel horror stories, but many have also had it worse.  And boy do these stories have it worse. I selected the “winners” of the Gogo passes.  And while I wish they didn’t have these travel horror stories, at least they won something out of it! …
