Here at Airline Travel Sucks, we are constantly looking for positive Air Travel Stories.
Travelers experience so many miserable little things when flying, like long lines, grouchy airport staff, tired, hungry, and more.
That’s why it’s fabulous to hear about the pilot of US Airways Flight 1549, Chesley B. Sullenburger, who, on Thursday January 15th, 2009, and with the help of his heroic crew, saved the lives of 155 passengers.
