Missing the Flight Attendant Life During Quarantine
I’ve been on voluntary leave for over 2 weeks now to help my company get through the Covid-19 epidemic and I miss flying so much already. Since I’m no longer considered an essential employee I’m on quarantine with everyone else, no more flight attendant life for me for the next 2-3 months! It’s been nice to catch up on my writing and reading, cook more and spend time with the boyfriend and the cat. However I’m already missing everything about my usual lifestyle. Being grounded as a flight attendant isn’t easy and I still got 6 more weeks to go. Let’s just say I’m running out of things to clean…

Covid-19 & being a Flight Attendant
It’s been hard for me to put into words how this Covid-19 has affected my life as a Flight Attendant. It is so hard for me to see the people and companies that I love most struggling. For me this virus is putting the things I love most in a detrimental state with the possibility of no return to normal. I know that I am nowhere near the only person who feels this sadness and this fear. I’m aware the media and our president is blowing things out of proportion and causing more panic. I know that there really isn’t a good solution to ending this that will make everyone…

Hotel Travel Hacks – From a Flight Attendant
So I’ve been living out of hotels now for about 3 years, I don’t have much of a choice since I’m a Flight Attendant. That being said, I’ve had to get pretty smart & come up with lots of hotel travel hacks to make myself as comfy and safe as possible away from home. The only thing getting me through my work day is knowing that I have a nice king size bed waiting in a quiet room & the ability to have Doordash deliver guilty pleasure food for me to eat in bed instead of standing in a nasty galley while people bug me. (Want to help me not…

4 Days in Chiang Mai Thailand
One of my best friends recently saved up, quit her job, and started traveling around the world. Side note, I’m so proud of her! She started her adventures in Thailand and since I have flight benefits and she asked me to come I said why not?! Chiang Mai, Thailand was gorgeous and the people were all so welcoming. I had an amazing but quick 4 days there. We packed those days full with the lantern festival, bathing elephants, learning to cook Thai curry and visiting the local temples. I had been a bit intimidated to go to Asia since the culture is so different there but after this trip I…

An Honest Day as a Flight Attendant
I mostly intend for this blog to be all about adventures & beer & funny flight attendant ramblings, but the thing is some days are rough in this industry. I know a lot of you think I spent two months in training learning how to pour a coke, but the truth is we spend most of our time learning how to make people feel comfortable and to be able to keep everyone safe in an emergency. Luckily today was not a fatal day, nor was it anywhere near as bad as a flight attendant’s worst day. However, it was an emotional roller coaster, and I cannot wait to get to…

Best Beer in Boston!
If you haven’t been to the Boston area & you love beer, it is a must visit! Fly on over, hop on a train, a bus, whatever your chosen mode of transportation is; and get yourself a tall NE IPA cause we have plenty over here for the tasting. From OGs like Sam Adams to some local brews you’ve never heard of you will not be disappointed. Full disclosure I’ve only been in the area for about a year but here are the places I’ve checked out so far & why they’re my favorite! Lamplighter Brewing Most of my friends know that I’ve quickly become a huge Lamplighter fan since…

What not to do on an airplane
Just like everywhere else in the world there are people that don’t make any sense or are making their life way more complicated than necessary. In the airline business I like to call them questionable passengers. The following is a list I’ve compiled of the most questionable passengers onboard an airplane and all the odd, confusing and stupid things they do. I’m pretty sure TSA does something to people’s brains when they go through. That or travel is just that stressful for some people. People who travel with soft guitar cases & other soft cases for various expensive instruments and expect them to not get ruined or expect us to…

Did you know Flight Attendants don’t get paid during boarding?
My LEAST favorite part of my job is without a doubt, boarding the plane. Mostly because it’s the hardest part of the day and I’m not getting paid. Let me repeat that for those of you wearing headphones and not paying attention, FLIGHT ATTENDANTS DON’T GET PAID DURING BOARDING. Okay that’s a bit of lie, I’m making about $2 an hour at this point. Once boarding is over and the plane starts moving I start making the “big bucks.” Other reasons why boarding a plane is the worst: People have lost their common sense. Some people have never flown before and have no clue what is going on or how to…
