Sometimes you put the final turn of a trip on the tradeboard, exhausted and hoping someone wants some extra flying. And sometimes no one picks up the trip and you are ever so disappointed. Other times you wind up seeing the Northern Lights on the dreaded flight and you rejoice in no one picking it up. It was meant for you. The whole cabin had a blast seeing the bright green and pink lights on our flight from ATL to DCA. What a glorious night to be in the sky!

I am really impressed by the quality of these two-sided custom luggage tags and now Home is just a quick glance away. ❤️

Thermal Tights Boarding a flight can be a frigid experience in the winter. I tried these thermal tights on my recent trip to Madison, Wisconsin and these kept me super warm and cozy. Without bulking me out too much and with an adequate and unbinding support, I greeted passengers without my teeth chattering. Going to pick up another pair for the impending winter.

Sometimes, when your body is exhausted from flying and you're all alone in place far from your regular life, you opt for a bed-in television binge. For me, it's a little lazy treat that helps with decompression. Though most television can be a bit vapid, there is one show that holds my attention for many, many hours. And thankfully it is always playing in marathons... Forensic Files . Before you snicker at the general population's insatiable appetite for true crime or analy

Butterfly at GSP airport See that up in the sky? That thing overhead piercing the clouds, that's my workplace. And though you go about your day in your likely-terrestrial job, I am taking data on regional drink preferences across the country, the rates of dissolution of CO2 at 30,000 feet and... the rich, nuanced social practices of my passengers, micro-communities happenstancely placed in the small shared space I call "work." Like teaching did in my previous career, the

The lifestyle of a Flight Attendant is pretty unique. The majority of the month is spent traversing through the country, staying somewhere new each work day. It is exhausting but exciting… You join a team, a flight crew, for the duration of the trip. Then you say goodbye a meet a new crew. The mornings are busy and start in the evening sometimes as I am often needing to set my alarm for 2:00 or 2:30 am. So the “nights” also begin earlier too. The structure of the day I am use

With hundreds of flights under your belt, you start to notice patterns. You begin to notice what creates a pleasant flight experience, as well as the obstacles to that collective pleasantness. Together, both you and your flight crew want the same thing: to get you on your way as quickly and as safely as possible. It is that simple. But getting on that way has many moving parts. To help, I have compiled this list... 5 Things This Flight Attendant Wants you to Know About Fl

Did you know that passengers sometimes bring the flight crew treats? Draw us pictures? That the Grounds Crew distribute adorable blessings? Not to mention the treats we feast on in new cities? The sky can be a very sweet place! Sipping on Nespresso in MSN, finding a vegan tiramisu cake in YYZ or yet another bowl of Mezeh in DCA--where I try to capture every color of the rainbow. To me, a food blogger for many years, this part of the job is one of the best parts.
