A Golden Eagle itself weighs only 7-15 pounds, so there's no way they could even possibly carry an adult human. An infant, maybe.

They do sometimes attack and kill fairly large animals (deer, for example), but they don't carry them off, they feed at the kill site.

Can a golden eagle fly a human?

No, they can carry about 2-3 times their weight but not that much, same as white horned owl which is strongest bird in North America. The condor can carry the most weight and can lift a small human like a baby.

Who will win in a fight a golden eagle or wandering albatross?

the golden eagle wins because it hunts huge animals and can kill wolfs and the harpy eagle does not do those things I did some research and actaully a harpy eagle would win it is the biggest most powerful eagle so the golden eagle wouldent stand a chance that is a horrible answer. do more research. the golden eagles kill animals 4 times its size all the time. it can fly higher in the sky witch means it can suprise attack the harpy eagle. so the golden eagle definatly has a chance, the harpy eagle and the golden eagle deliver instant kills to their prey so it is a 50 50 chance that either would win, it all depends on who can deliveer it faster and more efficient and the golden eagle is faster. and they ar both efficient killers, espishally the golden eage. people hunt with them all the time and kill deer and wolves. goats and ex. So your statement is childish and unlogical. the harpy eagle may be larger but definatly isnt that much more powerful concidering that golden eagle have talons capable of power of 750 psi. pounds per square inch. thats enough to break you arm let alone another eagle, eagles have brittle hallow bones and can break easie than our own. and a golden eagles talons have a locking mechanisim that is unbreakable and proven unbreakable by any natural way. I dont even think a harpy eagle can do that although they have a powerful grip also. the golden eagles claws on the end of his talons have 1500 psi. they can easily rip flesh and deliver a Instand kill to any eagle in the sky just as the harpy eagle. talons on head = mission complete and golden eagle and harpy eagle specialize in crushing the skulls of their prey before they have the chance to attack. either of them could win and Im even betting that a golden eagle has a better chance counting on that they are more agile weighing less and having larger wings and being able to fly higher above the harpy eagle. If the golden eagle had second thoughts he could get away. the harpy eagle has no choice but to fight. like i said. they both kill. They both are the only True eagles left on the plant. Meaning they have feathers all the way down their legs to their talons whitch means DEADLY. so do more reaserch because size dosent matter. I know of a shrimp that can puch harder than any man on the planet and he is smaller than your forarm so grow up kid. Its called a mantis shrimp and can punch the force of a 22 cal bullet out of a rifle. I did my reaserch. so do yours :)

Are there any real flying creatures that a human could ride on while it was in flight?

No, there isn't. The flying animal with the highest weight-carrying capacity is the bald eagle, which can lift an object weighing 10lbs on average. Considering an average human weighs 150lbs, it's impossible for an eagle to lift one, let alone carry one on its back. Maybe one could possibly carry a newborn baby away though, but that is not riding it as such.
