Military charter flights are the most pleasurable flights for me to work. They are so kind, respectful, and grateful for everything I do. The verbal exchanges with them are so sweet and fun. And of course, looking at them in uniform isn’t so bad either. What they don’t know is the admiration that I have for them. To try and even THINK about what they go through is not even possible. The physical and mental challenges that they must face just blow my mind. I have such great respect for these special angels that protect my freedom every single day.

Lobby Art
From a flight attendant on a layover in El Paso, where she found a framed picture covered in some kind of crud: "Not sure why these pretty pictures of flowers that were hung at least 6 feet off floor above the desk had some stain of some sort rained down on them. Have...
The Old “Reverse Peephole Ploy”
Flight attendants get training in more than keeping their passengers safe, but also on how to be safe when traveling and laying over. So it was pretty easy to spot this anomaly at an Uncomfortable Inn where she'd been assigned the inevitable handicapped room: the...
