I was sitting at the airport earlier this week, and a very nice gentleman seated next to me asked this question:
Q. Do Flight Attendants have to go through this whole security rigmarole than I just did?
A. It depends.
When we are on duty and in uniform, we are not subject to the restriction about liquids. […]
Today’s questions is one that I’ve been asked many times over the last week or so.
I wanted to stay away from the topic, because this blog is not about the politics of travel. While I am candid about the fact that I work for an airline, I stay away from criticizing airlines, because to […]
I’m going to mix it up a little on this week’s Flight Attendant Friday, and ask you a question.
I’ll answer it, too, but I’m hoping you’ll chime in with your answers and comments as well.
Q. What are your travel plans for Memorial Day Weekend? It’s the kick off for the summer travel season, […]
While this is a hypothetical question, infused with a bit of humor for entertainment value, perhaps you can see the underlying issue.
Q. (Asked by a 6′4″ burly looking guy, with two large (and heavy looking) carry on bags in one hand, and a cell phone glued to his ear with the other.) Hey - […]

Those days are gone. Primarily because of law suits, and court rulings that […]
This is another question that I’m asked frequently.
Q. What do you do on layovers?
A. It depends, of course, on the destination and the length of time of the layover. Here are some typical choices:
Slam Click. Slamming the hotel door, clicking the lock, and enjoying time alone in the room, away from people. It’s time […]
Today’s question is one that I get asked ALL the time. While the question stays the same, the answer varies.
Q. Where is your favorite layover?
A. Right now my favorite trips are balanced between two competing interests.
On one hand, right now I’m enjoying the sunny locations — cities in Mexico and Hawaii. They provide me […]
Today’s question comes from Chris in Tucson, Arizona.
Q. Why is the Flight Attendant safety manual I’ve seen them carrying so big?
A. The Flight Attendant Manual (FAM) is our “bible” containing information regarding the various aircraft we work on, the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR’s), company policies, first aid information, service guidelines and policies, emergency procedures, […]
