Last weekend, I introduced the “Say What? Overheard on the Plane” weekly entry to document some of the most ridiculous conversations overheard during my frequent travels up in the air . The reader email response has been amazing, it’s clear that everyone has a hysterical or truly outrageous story to share. Keep them coming! This week and every weekend going forward, I’ll be including some of our reader stories and a monthly prize winner will be determined via reader votes. All stories can be emailed to adam@pointmetotheplane.com, please include as many relevant details as possible including the flight routes and class of service. You can also check out the comments section of each post for those readers who couldn’t wait to share their double takes!

While waiting to take off on the runway, a little girl asked her dad “Why do they call it a Runway when you can’t even Run on it?” Best start to a flight with children.
