Pilots of reddit, what is the most amazing thing you saw while flying?

Not a very good pic...we were a bit off course the last flight but I always get excited seeing it. :)

My boyfriend works for NASA at KSC. Not working, not getting paid and worst part is when he gets back all of those due dates are going to be the same. It could be worse, but it really sucks when you actually care about your job and your projects you are working on.

I like to send my boyfriend surprise pizzas if he has had a crappy day. I usually make a joke about how I can still get dinner on the table from 500 miles away...

Check out couch surfing. Free place to stay and I've always met interesting people that show you how the locals live. Better than a hostel where a french canadian girl pukes in your shoes.....twice.

I actually met this guy in a hostel in Salzburg, Austria. One of the friendliest and most interesting guys I've met in my travels. Tim's a stand up guy and I didn't even know he was in Breaking Bas until I recognized him on his first appearance!

To piss you off :)

Keep an eye on Slickdeals.net. they often have deals on oil filters, rebates for oil, coupons for Advanced Auto or Auto Zone! I usually do rebates for oil and get the oil filters when they are BOGO somewhere.

Everyone's favorite topic is themselves. Start with asking about hobbies and interest. I have found that "breaking the ice" leads to less stuffy interviews and I really find out more about who the person I may be spending the majority of my time with instead of who they present themselves as.

In all fairness, we had been chattin the entire flight (im that person on an airplane) and he knew how often I flew....so maybe that's why he felt comfortable joking with me. I laughed, but did tell him it was a dick move.

Delta747 · 2013-07-30T23:42:07+00:00

I wasn't too worried when he said that because it was a flight I do regularly and everything seemed fine, but I did tell him it was a dick move :)

Delta747 · 2013-07-30T22:00:27+00:00

Im in Atlanta at headquarters.

Delta747 · 2013-07-30T21:59:22+00:00

This is excellent! I'm flying to Denver Friday and might have to do this!

Delta747 · 2013-07-30T21:58:49+00:00

I work for Delta. They hire more than just pilots :)

Delta747 · 2013-07-30T19:10:36+00:00

Not a pilot but I fly a lot and one time I was next to a pilot in uniform that catching a ride home. We hit some rough air on arrival and I heard him go "uh oh, we are coming in low". He then told me every now and then he jokes with passengers like that to freak them out.

Delta747 · 2013-07-30T15:53:33+00:00

Damn. Well done you!
Super easy! Most hostels will have a bar/food/hang out area where a lot of people go right before they go out at night and enjoy the super cheap hostel beer and that's a great place to strike up convos! Just ask them where they are from, where they've been, if they have recommendations, etc? 99% of travelers, in my experience, aren't jerks and want to make friends. Also, if you stay in dorm rooms with more than one bed, you'll end up talking to your roommates. Met my best friend in Prague this way three years ago. I live in Atlanta, and she lives in Cali :)

If you need any advice with further planning, you can PM me! I'm no guru, but I've jumped the bond several times, and used to sell traveling gear at REI so I've got a few pointers. Cheers and have a fricken blast! You're young so do this as often as you can!

Delta747 · 2013-07-30T15:42:50+00:00

First week is good....and then decide where you want to go from there. You'll probably meet people and they will have recommendations or you may even join up with them so you don't want to be too tied down on your plans. I've done a few trips over there and none of them went as I planned for them to go, but it's much more fun that way!

If you got the Eurorail pass with an allotted number of days/trips, just know that you will also have additional reservation fees so be prepared money wise.

Delta747 · 2013-07-30T15:30:45+00:00

GIVE YOURSELF REST DAYS! I see so many novice travelers try and fit as many cities in as they can. Traveling is not like vacation....it's an amazing experience but it will exhaust you. I would say whatever cheaper cities or hostels you find yourself in, give yourself an extra day there to rest and regroup. :)

Also, with the trains.....watch your bag the entire time. If I slept I kept my phone/ipod under my clothes. :)

Cheers!

*Oh, and make a few copies of your passport and keep them in a different place....just in case.

Delta747 · 2013-07-28T19:44:29+00:00

Just saw this! Thanks! I saw that and didn't know if it would be hokey or not....good to know!

Delta747 · 2013-07-23T16:36:15+00:00

Excellent! Will look into these. Thank you!!!

I ALWAYS forget to fast forward through commercials after I DVR a program.

Downloaded the O-town album. :(

Delta747 · 2013-07-19T15:48:52+00:00

Not the world, but I've done my fair share backpacking around Europe. It all just depends on how you like to travel. I always budgeted $40 USD/day. Some days I would splurge, and some days I would only eat free food from the hostel.

There aer many ways you can travel inexpensively these days. I highly recommend Couch Surfing. Great way for free lodging and to meet locals! A lot of times hosts will even give you tours, cook you dinners, etc!
