Next time you find yourself on a Virgin Atlantic flight, don't be surprised to see a new rating system onboard warning of the emotional health risks that might result from watching a particular movie.

Toy Story 3, Adam Sandler comedy Just Go With It and Reese Witherspoon/Robert Pattinson romance Water for Elephants are among the first films to receive the alerts, which will advise them to keep a box of tissues handy and make ready with the call button if they need a shoulder to cry ...

Would you pay for a few hours of sleep on a bed inside an airport? What if your flight was delayed and you could remain on the secure side of the terminal and escape the noise and hassle of the crowds? A Russian company has created a "Sleepbox" that it claims will quickly pay for itself and offer weary travelers a place of respite.

While the official Transportation Security Administration motto might be "not on my watch," the more apt phrase is "that's my watch" after another TSA Officer was indicted for stealing last week.

Paul Yashou, a now disgraced ex-TSO at LAX, must have thought he was a slick operator--steal a few watches here and there and no one would be the wiser. But he probably did not figure the $15,000 IWC GST watch he pawned to a local jeweler would wind up on eBay, where the watch's owner found ...

Disaster has been avoided, as German Air Traffic Controllers just moments ago called off a strike planned for tomorrow after a court ruled they could not strike earlier in the day. The move comes too late for some carriers, which have preemptively rescheduled or cancelled flights, but will avoid the crippling of German airspace that many had predicted.
