Hi Flying Pinto, I would like to start a room for stewardesses/Stewards laying over in my home and I’m wondering what a stewardess would look for in a home other than your own bathroom, bedroom, cable, Internet and delicious meals. Would laundry done be good? Transportation to and from the airport? I’d like to be […]

Jaunted recently ran an article “How $20 can turn you into a flight attendant’s favorite passenger” Last night I recorded an episode on The Crew Lounge and we discussed the article and the benefit of bringing gifts while flying and whether or not it makes you the flight attendant’s favorite passenger. The Jaunted article goes […]

I recently flew with an angel named Carrie. Here is her story in her words: After venturing out on a layover in downtown Portland, I stumbled upon a young woman, sleeping on a busy street with her dogs; a beautiful large chocolate Labrador and equally precious brown chihuahua mix.

I dead headed to my thirty hour layover in Edmonton Canada this week. What is dead heading? Deadheading is the transport of a flight attendant for the purpose of covering a trip. In other words, I flew as a passenger because I was needed to work the flight back. I love being a deadheading flight […]

A woman who didn’t like the meal she was served decided to throw the meal at the flight attendant serving her. If you haven’t yet heard the story you can find the full account here: “Vegetarian Throws Airline Meal at Flight Attendant” This story doesn’t shock me, I’ve had similar experiences. You’d be amazed at […]

As a flight attendant I love my Boston layovers. Especially when I get 30 hours there. I’m from the area and always enjoy going “home.” My most recent visit was special because my mom was able to join me at the hotel for a sleepover on the second night. Although, when I arrived at the […]

Q:”I would like to be a flight attendant when I’m older. But the thing is, I am male, but I’m not gay. I don’t want people to think I’m gay working as a flight attendant. So my question is, how many straight male flight attendants do you work with?” A: I work with many straight […]
