The Diary of a Flight Attendant

• Rules For Frequent Flyers
  This is taken from an anonymous Internet post……. No flight ever leaves on time unless you are running late and need the delay to make the flight. If you’re running late for a flight, it will depart from the farthest gate within the terminal. If you arrive very early for a flight, it will inevitably be delayed. Flights never [...] […]
• Michael Jackson Concert DVD – Everybody Should Buy This!
  I’m starting a campaign to get everybody to buy the Michael Jackson full concert DVD as a tribute to the legend that was Michael Jackson! It’s available for £5.18 or $9.97 on Amazon right now – an absolute bargain for 2 hrs of pure genius. The DVD was recorded in 1991 in Bucharest during the Dangerous [...] Related posts:Wealthy Men and […]
• I Hate Ignorance……Please Say Goodbye!
  Sorry, sorry, sorry. It’s been ages since I’ve posted here and I’m sure you are all desperately wanting to know what I’ve been up to, right?! It’s the summer, and I work for an airline, therefore time is not something I have a lot of. I do try to fit in the odd post inbetween flights [...] Related posts:I’m Sorry Sir, Bu […]
• Red Eye – Has Anyone Seen This Movie?
  Being a Flight Attendant I find myself watching anything and everything involving flying. I think it’s a common side affect of the job I do – an almost unnatural obsession with airline travel! Most of us seem to be addicted to Air Crash Investigations, In fact I’ve often found myself watching an episode before heading off [...] Related po […]
• Wealthy Men and Red Trousers!
  Wow, this is going to be a really random post – but I have a question that has been bugging me for months (if not years!). It’s nothing to do with being a Flight Attendant, I’ve just noticed it on a lot of my flights and would love to know your theories. Ready? The question is……. Why [...] Related posts:Why Passengers Take So […]
• Seatbelt Signs: What Is The Point?
  Why do we bother having seatbelt signs? I say this for the following reason; Passengers seem to completely disregard them! Now, all passengers DO fasten their seatbelts for take-off and landing – but only because the crew physically check each and every one of them. But, many seem to believe that they can ignore them once [...] Related posts:I Hate I […]
• VIDEO: Why You Should Never Stand Too Close To a 747 Engine
  A baggage cart has proved to the world why it’s not a good idea to get too close to a jet engine by being sucked into engine number 1 of a Japan Airlines Boeing 747. It’s unclear how this incident was allowed to happen – but someone, somewhere, has cocked up big time! Let’s just [...] Related posts:Rules For Frequent Flyers This is […]
• 18 Flights in 6 Days – Swine Flu – I’m Shattered!
  It’s been a busy week – 18 flights in 6 days is enough to tire anyone out! In fairness it has been a relatively non-eventful week. Mostly on time, and without incident – only the normal tiny and insignificant issues that we experience almost every day. Clue: p–seng–s! Of course you would have all heard about the [...] Related […]
• Ryanair Flight Lands on Cagliari Taxiway Instead of Runway
  This is no joke – I promise you. A Ryanair flight from Girona to Cagliari mistakenly landed on the airport’s taxiway that runs parallel to the runway and is now being investigated by the Italian authorities. The taxiway is as wide as the runway, and runs directly alongside the designated landing strip (see map here)- but [...] Related posts:Ai […]
• Back To Work: 4 Non-Eventful Flights
  Well, I did call this site The Diary of a Flight Attendant – but have failed to tell you much about my life. Hmmmm, not much of a diary then. Today I thought I’d write a little bit about my day at work. In truth, it was a pretty non-eventful day so I’m unsure of how [...] Related posts:18 Flights in 6 Days – Swine Flu – I […]
