Travel

For years, mankind was wished and dreamed of an efficient and futuristic way to travel in style, comfort and efficiency and the pop culture consensus has determined that tubes would be the best way to go (literally).

A JetBlue flight from New York to Las Vegas took a scary turn on Tuesday when the pilot had a mid-flight meltdown and had to be physically restrained by passengers while the plane made an emergency landing.

In a video that won't be making the already unpopular TSA any new friends, a 3-year-old toddler in a wheelchair is seen being searched by a TSA agent at Chicago's O'Hare Airport.

You may want to add this to your list of things you can't do on a flight these days. Jeanie Daniels was on her way to Houston to meet her boyfriend when she was asked by the flight-attendant to stop polishing her nails due to the smell. Daniels, realizing she had only two more nails left to do, then went to the bathroom to finish them, so as not to bother her fellow passengers. Turns out Southwest

One man's journey around the world included filming himself dancing in all the stunning locations. He most certainly gives 'Where the Hell Is Matt?' a run for his money.

When it comes to walking across the country from California to New York, "for the heck of it" is as good a reason as any. In fact, in an age where publicity and profit seem to be much more common motives for this type of quest, 24-year-old Catherine Li's largely under-the-radar 3,000-mile trek stands out as a true exception.

Headed down an escalator at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Dallas-based hairdresser Isis Brantley (who counts neo-soul singer Erykah Badu as a client) was stopped by TSA agents who insisted on checking her ample Afro hairstyle for explosives.

Are you looking for a cheap and spacious place to stay in sunny Burbank, California from October 10 - 13? If so, Conan O'Brien may have just the place for you. O'Brien recently listed his 25,000 square foot TV studio for rent on Airbnb, a popular online marketplace where home owners can offer up short-term rentals to travelers looking for alternatives to a hotel.

You're bound to meet a few interesting people when you take a year-long hitchhiking trip across the country. Artist, traveler and self-proclaimed 'lover of people' Benjamin Jenks met exactly 930 when he and his raised thumb journeyed 5,000 miles from Los Angeles to Maine. Artist that he is, Ben put together a time-lapse video of his trip complete with photos of all 930 people he met along the way.

You've probably heard of the Smart Car but what about the Smart Train? Filmed near the Tokyu Ikegami Station in Ōta, Tokyo, this Japanese micro-train blazes through the frame so fast, you might miss it if you blink. Sure there may be some editing trickery going on in this clip (the YouTube comments indicate that Tokyo doesn't have much of a need for a single-axle train), but a commuter can dre

Anybody who's ever boarded an airplane knows that there is something terribly inefficient about the slow, agonizing process. Astrophysicist Jason Steffen decided to do something about the messy procedure, using science to develop a plane boarding method that cuts seating times in half.

Comedian Mark Malkoff already made a scene Stateside when he pulled a series of pranks in an Apple store, and now he's moved on to Holland, where he recently allowed pigeons in Amsterdam's Dam Square to feed from his prone body.

A 7am flight between Moscow and London is an unusual venue for an exotic dance, but that's exactly when and where a 39-year-old Russian woman busted out an interactive striptease.

Peter Shankman "had visions of steak in my head" when he waited for an airplane that was going to bring him from Tampa, Florida to Newark, New Jersey. So the investment guru sent out a sarcastic Tweet requesting the steak house chain Morton's meet him in the Newark airport in two hours with a porterhouse -- and to his surprise, they obliged!

You can get lobster from a vending machine in Japan, so why not a baguette from one in France? French baker Jean-Louis Hecht has developed a machine which dispenses warm, fresh bread any time of the day. The idea for the innovation came when customers would knock on the door of his apartment -- which was above his bakery -- off hours and ask if he had any left over baguettes he could sell them. Re
