'''Hitchhiking a plane''' is possible. It takes some effort but it sure is not impossible. Especially in the past it was done more regularly (reference missing).

Hitching rides on small/private planes can be done, though it may be a much less spontaneous process than hitching rides in cars.

In plain English: If you adhere to FAA regulations soliciting flights at US airports is illegal for most pilots. On the other hand it seems some pilots are willing to sneak by the strict regulations to make hitching aircraft possible ([[User:Halt, Stop! Reudnitz kommt.|Craig]] & Dario met two pilots who had taken them another time they said). Bear in mind their insurance hadn't covered them. Your best bet is knowing a pilot personally. Well that is not really hitchhiking =)

You can also hitch Commercial Planes. It goes pretty much the same as hitching cars, though it takes you more effort generally. Just go to airport and ask people if they want to buy a ticket for you. It might take you a while but if you are crazy enough to ask people, someone will be crazy enough to buy you one.

There are stories from hitchhikers who traveled like this.

Flight-tickets can be bought pretty cheap sometimes. But it is not the same as hitchhiking.
