Brad, of PopSlingers Paradise, posted about this club and I just had to myself.
The “Flight Attendant Appreciation Club,” or FAAC, was founded by a man named Craig. Flying from San Francisco to London in Business Class on a lightly booked flight, the passengers and crew were joking around. One passenger made the comment that “each [...]

For those of you who don’t live in the Phoenix area, you might not have seen the news. On Monday, February 15th, a Canadian man named Stephen Walter Tait, traveling out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport created quite the scene. Allegedly intoxicated, Tait creates quite the commotion in front of US Airways gate A4. It is [...]

On my recent commute flight to San Francisco I found myself in a situation I’ve never thought about before. I’m curious what your thoughts are about this as well.
We boarded late, of course because of SFO weather, but just before we closed the door about 5-6 people come running onto the plane. It was apparent [...]

If you would have known me back in 2003, I would have been about 100 pounds heavier then I am now. Of course, I still have a lot of room for improvement, but for as long as I can remember I was always a heavier guy.
When I moved away to College in 2004 is when [...]

You like to push our button. I know you do. You do it all the time. You push it for a drink, something to eat, to ask a question, to hand us your trash, and when somethings wrong. You push it when you want us to tell the parent sitting in front of you to [...]

Since I’m usually the purser, time and time again I catch myself repeating “The captain has turned on the fasten seatbelt sign, please return to your seats, fasten your seatbelts, and remain seated until it has been turned off.”
How many people actually hear me? All 150. How many people LISTEN to me? about 50.

It’s amazing [...]

I know a lot of you including @SkyVan on twitter wonder why I work New York – LA all the time, and its a simple reason really: No one senior to me wants to do it, so I always hold my first preference in New York trips. In essence that allows me to build my [...]

Being a Flight Attendant comes with many perks. Some of which you use on a regular basis, some you hardly ever use; and then there are some that you use every single day when going to work.
The perk/ability to cut the security line.
I’m finding that this is a very touchy subject. Especially on high travel [...]

Wow. For the last few holiday seasons I didn’t fly much. Prior to my current airline, I worked in the office during the holidays, and prior to that, at my first airline; I was in training for Thanksgiving and somehow got Christmas off. But, wow. People who haven’t flown since Carter was President are now [...]

At my airline they make boarding seem like this really big deal. So big that we take *over* 30 minutes to board an A320..35 minutes to be exact. At my past airline we took 35 minutes to board a 757 with 50 more people than an A320 holds.
Anyway, a few trips ago I was working [...]
