  • Happy Birthday, Husband!

    Look at me in my brand new Revo aviator sunglasses. Okay fine, so they’re really my husband’s Revo aviator sunglasses, the ones I gave to him for his birthday after he returned the black leather briefcase I’d originally given to him for his birthday. Apparently, I can’t pick out a…

    Guess where this photo was taken and you can win… 6 FLIGHT ATTENDANT GREETING CARDS (designed by me!) or WADD: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JOHN C. HOLMES (a documentary dvd) Guess the hotel and I’ll send you both!

  • The Package

    The following is a real life conversation that actually took place by a real life flight attendant (that I actually know, and love) upon spotting a miserable looking passenger with a big bag NOT in the proper stowage location just minutes before departure on an airplane: FLIGHT ATTENDANT: Sir, is…

  • Lucky Me

    Just back from my 2 day trip to LA, which was a very good trip to LA, and though I’m way too tired to write about it, I’m not too tired to eat…Chinese food. YUM! There’s nothing like Chinese food in New York. As for my fortune, I didn’t get…

    As I walked down the jetbridge dressed head to toe in black, I couldn’t help but think of Plane Answers (Kent’s post on April 18, 2008) that was posted on Gadling.com, which I have to say is a very cool travel website. I’m sorry, people, but that woman with the…

  • SAINT LOUIS LAYOVER REPORT

    What the hell is going on over there? Yeah, that’s exactly what I wanted to know after I walked up to the first class galley to ask the one in charge if she had any fruit left over from the breakfast service. While I didn’t find the one I was…

  • The Food You Crave

    “Excuse me,” said the woman staring into my grocery cart. “What are you going to do with those?” She pointed at my squash. “I’m trying to eat healthy and well…I need some new ideas.” “Believe it or not,” I said with a laugh. “I’m going to make Macaroni and Cheese…

  • LAY ACROSS YOUR CREW REST SEAT

    Bob’s back! Remember Bob, the singing pilot? Of course you do. I mean how could you forget? He writes songs about sexy flight attendants, airline employee woes, bad management, people with big fat butts, and don’t forget about drinking and having sex with ugly women. His songs have been performed…
