About
Airplane Reading is a home for stories shaped by flight—quiet, strange, funny, and tender moments between takeoff and landing.
Origins
The book that started it all
Airplane Reading began as a love letter to the strange intimacy of flight. Before it was a website, it was a book — a collection of stories about air travel, edited by Christopher Schaberg and Mark Yackich.
