Off beat travel news


Has anyone been following the recent trend of super random travel news recently? I keep coming across these articles and I could not resist sharing them with you. Just a little fun to get your Memorial day weekend going.

1. Frontier Airlines will now charge more for passengers checking antlers. Yes antlers. Apparently during hunting season some people feel the need to bring animals antlers on a plane. Frankly, I think its unfair I can't bring on a bottle of water, when someone can basically bring on an newly dead animal carcass. Plus....eeeewwwwwww.

2. A Homeless man in Missouri is found sleeping on a plane after slipping past security guards. Well isn't that just f-ing great.

3. New Zealand pilots ran out of gas in a airplane, but were able to make an emergency landing in a open field. The plane came to abrupt stop directly next to a sign reading, "Jesus is Lord." I so wish I had a picture of this.

4. Two employees from Pinnacle Airlines in Pennsylvania are facing charges after taking a little 'jaunt' into the woods after dinner. The police Sergeant relayed the information by saying "They told the officer they wanted to go do it in the woods, essentially," (USA Today). The couple were discovered when individuals in the neighborhood summoned police, saying they had seen a naked man and an intoxicated woman. The police later found the man, hiding behind a shed and wearing flip-flops and a watch. Where do you begin with this one? Do you make fun of the Police Sergeant who said 'they wanted to do it'.....'do it'....is this Police Sergeant 6 years old? Or is it better to envision this guy horrified behind a shed in his birthday suit and flip flops? Ahhhh, this is just too good.
