Our 4 year overheard DH and I discussing HNL SEA flights. I told him I could not take a red eye home. Our 4 year old pipes in, "Neither can I. I have brown eyes!"

3YO tonight at dinner: "When Amah, Agong, and Er-Yee (grandma, grandpa and 2nd aunt) come over can we all fly into outer space?"

On take-off we usually put our hands up (eg: rollercoaster). So tempted to use the Madagascar 2 line "it's more fun when you throw your hands up". And it breaks the ice during aborted landings.

During pre-flight of a DTW-MCO, the FA repeated many times about there being turbulence on the way down (probably to pre-calm fears). Yet at about the tenth announcement, someone young shouted "cool!".

I think about at age 8.


Mrs UP: No Honey, we are not sitting up here today, daddy isn't with us.
Little UP: WHAT? We have to sit with the people?

Teenage sister in the ICU recovering from a ruptured spleen a few days before a scheduled trip to Australia: "Doctor, will I still be able to go to Australia?"
Doctor: "Yes, it shouldn't be a problem."
Teenage sister: "Can you tell my parents I have to fly business class?"

When flying into our little airport on the Oregon Coast, in a little turboprop, we can have some pretty impressive turbulence. When the adults are gripping their armrests and getting a little pale, my children have been known to exclaim "Whee!"

Followed by "do it again!"? That darned higher-faster generation.

That's the favorite of my son
He spends good 20-30 minuts studing a broshure about landing on water, etc. And tells me how much he hopes that this time it actually happens ))

This morning my 5 year old says to me, "Mommy, I like police officers but I like the ones at the airport the best."

I suspect that will change when she stops getting stickers and high fives as she goes through the metal detector.

(I'm a 48 year old male)

7 year old: "It's my birthday today.. I'm seven!"

Me : "That's great!! Happy Birthday!"

7 year old: "How old are you?"

Me: "How old do you think I am?"

7 year old: Screws face up in concentration... "A hundred?"

Alitalia flight from Milan to Buenos Aires, way too many years ago. Middle of night, everybody is sleeping. The plane hits a really big bump, and there is the sensation of dropping for a split second. The six year old in the row in front of me pierces the silence: "WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!"

He recognizes their uniforms and will point them out in the terminals (he also recognizes KE's livery and points out their planes).

Anyway, between trips 3 and 4 on KE, we flew UA to Denver, his first non-KE flight. We get on the plane, get settled in our seats and one of the UA flight attendants walks past.

My son (sounding disappointed): "These aren't The Nice Ladies."
Try OZ next time for even better service.


And a quote:

MicroDUF: Dad, I want to watch TV all day. Can we fly somewhere?

I've flown OZ and it is nice, but the ORD-ICN flight leaves ORD at 0130ish local and arrives in ICN at 0530ish local. For those who don't sleep well on a plane it's the answer to the question "What could I do to deliberately induce near-fatal jet lag?"

The KE flight leaves 1300ish and arrives at 1700ish.
