Trip Report: Seattle to Los Angeles

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it once again: one reason why I love this job is because no two days are ever the same. The passengers on board any given flight make or break a flight attendants day. Luckily, on board this particular flight from Seattle to Los Angeles, it made my day. [...]

13 Days of Travel

The end of June was busy. That is an understatement. In order to attend the Travel Blog Exchange in New York City I had to move my work schedule around a bit. On paper, it looked fine. Actually doing it, not so much. Follow along with the maps. June 17: On the night of June [...]

Live from the Line: LAX it is!

First Class specifically, you, sir, placed your order with me for food and proceeded to tell me how hungry you were. I rush your [...]

Live from the Line: Would you like fries with that?

I’m back at work, hence this short update live from the line. I worked the red-eye to Washington DC last night and it had such a CRAZY group of people on board. One, specifically, cracked me up so much I had to share. We were light, 100 people, so we were sitting in the last [...]
