But the good news is that you don't have to go to Newark. :D

It seems appropriate to link to a video clip of (all of) the world's shortest scheduled flight. Haven't done this yet, despite my proximity to it, although a family member used to do this on a weekly basis as a commute and spoke fondly of it.

Worlds shortest flight lands and...

"This is your captain speaking, we are currently number 3 for a gate, and as soon as that opens up, we can deplane."

Qantas getting in on United's act.

Inconceivable!

Love that T-shirt.!

I am fond of this one:

I have several of those, but in a different colour scheme - mine came from spreadhshirt.com.

I would like to point out that this particular outlet appears to put the same Arabic text, which is appropriate for a male non-terrorist, on both the mens' and womens' t-shirts. The spreadshirt version is gender-corrrect.

I was banned by the Mem from wearing my one of these when I flew to Cairo last month.

When I flew Emirates, the crew thought it was hilarious. (And I'm pretty non-Arab looking.) I had a zip-up windbreaker on over it, some of them came and asked me to unzip the windbreaker so they could see it.

I haven't yet had the guts to wear it through a US airport security checkpoint without something on top (e.g., a sweater). However, once the plane is off the ground, the sweater comes off :) Not sure how they'd feel about it in the UK.

So you have the female version then?

I was probably the least Arabic lookin gperson on the flight.

I doubt most people would bahe any idea what it said, or even that it was arabic.

"Hey, buddy, step over here. That looks like some of that AY-RAB writing on yer shirt. You some kinda AL-Kyda or summin?"

Don;t let the American airlie see you in it, they'll turn the plane around and land you in Dallas or somewhere awful.


yeah, I got the version from Spreadshirt a few years ago for my sister. This link just came up on google ahead of them.


You doesn't has to wear a T-shirt, this happens too:
