  • Interview with a flight attendant – ME!

    Hi…I know this is really random and weird…but I’m a Jr in high school and we were given an assignment to write a research paper over a job that we would like to do once we graduate and I have become very interested in becoming a flight attendant. Anyway part…

  • Lindsay Lohan, Samantha Ronson, and me!

    What do we three have in common? JAUNTED! Check out what Jaunted.com wrote about us – US! As in me, Linds and Sam…. Don’t mess with Samantha Ronson! Granted, her mean face is probably directed toward the nasty paparazzi instead of fellow passengers on her flight that touched down at…

  • Stewardess style – the scarf

    When I first started flying thirteen years ago I wore a red and blue silk scarf tied in a knot around my neck. Oh how I loved that scarf. (And my white button down blouse I wore slightly opened at the neck, a flight attendant no-no!) Had no idea just…

  • Overweight passengers

    After a lot of writing, and even more deleting, followed by more writing, and more deleting, and too much wondering if I should just forget it all together, I posted the overweight on the airplane article I talked about yesterday. I’ll admit, I’m not entirely thrilled with it, but I…

  • Ranting and raving about passengers who rant and rave

    Okay, so I just finished a post about being fat on the airplane (set to go on Gadling tomorrow morning – if I don’t pull it in order to keep working on it which is very likely to happen). It wasn’t an easy post to write. I had a lot…

    It’s December, so I’ve been spending a lot of time making a mental Christmas gift list for the frequent flier. Now that we have internet access on some of our flights, a computer has to be on the list. What better way to get through a long flight? Because my…

  • Breastfeeding on the airplane

    Dear Heather, Is it okay to breastfeed on the airplane–specifically take-off and landing. Do the flight attendants allow it? Do you need to cover up? Maggie R. Dear Maggie, Of course it’s okay to breastfeed on the airplane! And if you are going to do it, take off and landing…

  • WANTED: United Flight Attendants based in Seattle

    I got a call today from an agent – AN AGENT! Yeah, I got pretty excited, too. I mean it’s about time, right? Well the agent wasn’t interested in my book. Yet. Though she did give me a wonderful idea for another flight attendant book I’ll start working on as…

  • First Class Flashback

    Guess which A-list celebrity (with an A-list celebrity daughter) did sit ups on the floor in the first row of first class on a DC-10 thirteen years ago and you’ll have a chance to win 6 FLIGHT ATTENDANT CHRISTMAS CARDS designed by me! While you’re busy guessing, I’ll be in…

  • 10 ways to be REALLY annoying at the airport

    1. BE A PERV – Get frisked. Several times. That’s right, just keep going back and forth through airport security. When TSA looks at you funny during the pat down, grin mischievously and say, “oh yeah, that feels good.” Make sure to mean it when you say it. If you…
