  • New York to L.A.

    I can not believe this, but I just bought a ticket for an amazing price for a transcontinental flight in November, as in this coming November, as in four weeks away. Yes, I am a flight attendant and I can fly for free, in a middle seat, if there is…

  • Traveling with car seats and strollers

    Dear Heather, Okay, so how bad is to have a one-year old on a plane without an actual ‘seat’? Please tell me it’s not the worst thing in the world????I wanted to bring a car seat on board, but they won’t let us because we’re not buying her a ticket.…

  • The writing group & Chapter 2

    I’ll admit, I’ve been slacking when it comes to writing my book, SKYDOLL, but it’s time to get back in the saddle again, time to get back to work, time to meet the writing group! Which is exactly what I’ll be doing today, in Pasadena, at Anne’s house. Yes, it’s…

  • Middle seat etiquette

    Flying back from Honolulu, I found myself crammed in a middle seat. Now I’m not a big person, just a normal sized person, and yet there I sat with my elbows held tight against my side, my hands resting in my lap, as the broken seat in front of me…

  • Flight Attendant Christmas Cards

  • Flight attendant – still a hot job to date!

    What would you do if you were a flight attendant and some young lad said to you, “I like the way you walk?” Personally, I would have kept on walking. If possible. Because you never know if there’s going to be a 200 pound drink cart blocking your way. But…

  • Adventures of Airboy

    If you read my post below, you already know I get a lot of traffic from people looking for an Emirates flight attendant. Unfortunately you’re not going to find one here. What you will find are posts about my life as a flight attendant for a US carrier. Still looking…

  • FOLLOW ME!

    Not sure if you’ve noticed or not, but I’ve updated the website a little. This updating business is not easy, and has taken up a good part of my day, a day that should have been spent working on my book, Skydoll – love and sex at 35,000 feet. The…

  • Take the airplane with you!

    I know many of you may find this hard to believe, but there are passengers out there who actually want to take those germy blankets and dirty pillows home with them, and half of those crazy people actually do it. I’ve seen it. I’ll stand at the airplane door, thanking…

  • Traveling with kids

    After reading all the responses to my post, Ivana Trump Harasses two little kids on a flight, I can not believe how many people think that kids do not belong on the airplane. Some people even suggested that airlines create a kid section, like a smoking section in a restaurant.…
