fine way to calm down away fromthe gate. My personal guiltypleasure is bringing somethingluxurious to eat on the planeinstead of the airplane food.Usually it’s fancy cheese andmeat, but once I brought caviar(the cheap kind). I’ll never forgetthe relief of not having to eat thehalf-frozen ravioli. And the lookon my neighbor’s face. I alsothink a trashy magazine is a fineway to pass the endless time asyou wait for the plane to take off.It goes without saying I watch
children’s movies for the entire flight.”
Paula ZahnExecutive producer and host ofInvestigation Discovery’s ‘On theCase with Paula Zahn’
“I was born into the wronggeneration—I was supposed tobe a millennial. Much to thechagrin of my kids (who aremillennials themselves), I takephotos of everything. I see flightsas an opportunity to sortthrough the 72,000-plus photoson my iPhone. In the airport andon the plane I delete the blurryones, spend an unbelievableamount of time straightening all
the crooked ones, and edit the winners. My daughter recently introduced me to the searchfunction, and we discovered that I have 6,231 photos of my dogs Nigel and Stella, 38,731 of mychildren—and over 1,000 photos of rainbows.”
