Party in PTY

It’s rare you get to work with the same people twice in my career. It’s even more rare to work with the same people twice, when you actually click and get along with them. I visited Panama, my 12th country of 2019, in September and was blessed to have an amazing crew member I met […]

Shipping up to Boston

I have visited Boston a few times, but a year and half of flying never gave me a long enough layover to really get into the city and experience it. This August, I finally got the chance. I try not to make too solid of plans for layovers because the joke in the airline industry […]

Golden State of Mind

When I saw scheduling assign me a San Francisco layover, you could say I was pretty excited. Not only had I never been to SFO, I was working with one of my favorite fellow flight attendants so I knew this was going to be a great trip. After going out Saturday night in San Fran, […]

Toronto, Eh?

It’s been a while since I’ve written and I survived summer flying. My second summer on the line went surprisingly much better than my first. Some of the worst weather, delays, mechanical issues and short layovers were all in the first few months of my career. Maybe I just got used to that as the […]

Only a dream in Rio

The crew scheduling blessings continued to rain down. My second standby in February turned into a DREAM. Scheduling calls and says, “We’re going to deadhead you to Rio and then you’ll work back.” WHAT’S THAT YOU SAY?! A deadhead is essentially when the company needs to move flight attendants so they can work from another […]

You sound like you’re from London

I hope I’ll never stop being in awe of this job. Crew scheduling blessed me with another trip to London. I was called from standby so I had no idea until 50 minutes before scheduled departure. When we got there, two other crew members and I decided to just hit the ground running and head […]

Sea-ya-ttle

My first time in the Pacific Northwest was one for the books. I had just worked a four-day with two fellow new hires and we all ended up on the same Seattle trip. In the airline industry, it’s very common to click super well with your coworkers.. and then never see them again. Lucky for […]

On island time

One of the perks of being a Miami based flight attendant, quite simply, is the proximity to the Caribbean and the layovers we have there. Of course other bases fly to some islands and Mexico and other tropical destinations. But Miami really is “Gateway to the Tropics” like some FAs like to say. This month […]

Just touched down in London town

It finally happened! I was blessed with my first international trip and man was it a doozy. I reported to JFK for standby, which meant I already had a chance at an international flight since that’s where they depart from. I reported at 1 p.m. and waited. And waited. And waited, listening to all these […]
