Have comments? Text us! As flight attendants, we learn so much during our new hire training and yet… there’s so much they don’t teach you! In this episode, we’re getting real about the stuff you only learn once you’re actually out there flying. From the chaos of adjusting to the lifestyle to the small habits that can make or break your experience, we’re sharing the advice we wish we had—and the advice you all brought to the table. We dive into everything from protecting your peace (and your s...
Have comments? Text us! In this episode, we’re taking you along on one of our wildest travel adventures yet—our group trip to Thailand. What should have been a smooth non-rev journey quickly turned into a chaotic travel saga involving snowstorms, canceled flights, last-minute tickets, and a four-hour Uber ride through a blizzard just to make it to the airport. Somehow, against all odds, we made it to Thailand… barely in time for the trip to begin. Once we arrived, though, the adventure ...
Have comments? Text us! Hotels. The glamorous perk of flight attendant life… until they’re not. This week, we’re pulling back the curtain on what crew hotel life is really like — the good, the weird, and the absolutely unhinged. From “food beds” vs. “sleeping beds” to conference tables with no actual beds in sight, we’ve seen it all. We’re also venting (just a little) about holiday passengers, airplane bathroom etiquette, and those deplaning sprinters who think row 37 is somehow first off the...
Have comments? Text us! February has us feeling reflective… and real. With Valentine’s Day just behind us, we’re discussing what it actually looks like to be married, both work as flight attendants, and somehow still like each other. People always ask us, “Do you ever even see each other?” And honestly? Sometimes… no! But we’ve learned how to turn that into our superpower. In this episode, we talk about intentional time, opposite schedules, missed trains at the airport, and the tiny rituals t...
Have comments? Text us! So many people ask us, “How do I become a flight attendant?” and while the technical answer is simple—go to the airline’s website and apply—the real question is *what airline should you be applying to in the first place? In this episode, we take a step back and talk through everything you should seriously think about before you ever hit that apply button. From airline personality and uniforms to bases, commuting, aircraft types, pay structures, and company culture, we’...
Have comments? Text us! Ever wonder how those wild aviation headlines actually come together, and what’s really going on behind the scenes when travel chaos hits the news?

We’re joined by consumer travel reporter Zach Wichter, and trust us, this one is packed with insight, laughs, and plenty of “oh wow, that tracks” moments. We dig into passenger behavior, TikTok “...
Have comments? Text us! Ever think about the firsts that shape a career? In this episode, we’re taking a nostalgic stroll down memory lane and talking about the moments that made us who we are as flight attendants. From first trips and first layovers to the early chaos, nerves, and excitement that come with being brand new, we’re reflecting on why—despite the complaining—we really do love this job. Along the way, we get real about turbulence, crew bonding, passenger moments that stick with yo...
Have comments? Text us! In this episode, we decided to flip the script a bit. You hear us complain about passengers all the time—on the podcast, on the jumpseat, in the galley, everywhere. So today, we handed the mic to you: the passengers. We asked what flight attendants do that drives you nuts, and wow… you did not hold back. From safety announcements you swear are unintelligible, to overhead bin drama, to call bells, credit card pitches, bad perfume, and everything in between—you told us e...
Have comments? Text us! In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into the chaos, comfort, and absolute craziness of spending the holidays as flight attendants—and we brought two of our favorite people along for the ride. We’re joined by our friends and fellow crew members, Bre ane Caleb, who have somehow managed to turn missed holidays, graveyard-view hotel rooms, and granola-bar “Christmas dinners” into some of the most magical traditions we’ve ever experienced. Together, we talk about the w...
Have comments? Text us! Ever wonder what it’s like to fly the skies on a whim, hopscotching from one city (or country!) to another without a confirmed seat in sight? In this episode, we’re diving deep into the wild, wonderful world of non-rev adventures — the ultimate flight attendant perk. From unexpected detours to last-minute jaunts across the globe, we’re sharing our favorite standby travel stories and tips for how to navigate the chaos with humor and heart. We’re spilling all the tea on ...
Have comments? Text us! In this special Veterans Day episode, we sit down with the incomparable Keturah Johnson—combat veteran, flight attendant, and International Vice President of AFA-CWA.

She opens up about her military service during “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” her fierce advocacy for trans rights, and the...
Have comments? Text us! Have you ever wished there was a school for airplane passengers? Well, class is in session!

Have comments? Text us! Jet lag—it’s that relentless travel companion we never asked for but always seem to bring along. In this episode, we’re unpacking the reality of jet lag from the flight attendant perspective: what works, what totally doesn’t, and the hilarious and horrifying travel stories we’ve collected along the way. Whether you’re someone who swears by strategic napping or you’re just trying to make it to the Airbnb without puking into a canal (hi, Amsterdam), this one’s for you. W...
Have comments? Text us! In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into one of the biggest debates in the airline world: regional versus mainline flying. Rich has always flown mainline, while Drew brings a ton of insight from his years working at a regional airline. So we’re unpacking the real differences in schedules, pay, camaraderie, catering (or lack thereof), and what it truly means to fly solo on a 50-seater. Whether you're in the industry, considering becoming a flight attendant, or just ...
Have comments? Text us! Ever wondered what flight attendants really think about your in-flight behavior? In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into a spicy list of audience-submitted hot takes about air travel—and trust us, some of these takes had us howling, gasping, and nodding in agreement. From flip-flops in the lav to the eternal debate over seat reclining, we’re unpacking it all from 35,000 feet. We also kick things off with a little summer flying catch-up—how we keep ourselves sane (...
Have comments? Text us! Ever feel like your flight attendants are just out to nag you? In this episode, we’re pulling back the galley curtain to explain why those “annoying” reminders—seat belts, tray tables, and stowing your bag—are actually life-saving safety protocols. From clear-air turbulence to last-minute emergencies, we walk through the real reasons why the little things we ask of passengers matter in a big way. Trust us, it’s not about being on a power trip—we genuinely care. We’re a...
Have comments? Text us! This week, we’re beyond thrilled to welcome Sara Nelson, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA-CWA), into the studio.

We talk about her nearly 30-year career, the moments that lit her fire for union advocacy, and why sol...

Have comments? Text us! Ever wondered if you should be tipping your flight attendants? In this episode, we break down the complex world of in-flight tipping and gifting. We dive into what tipping means in our industry, the fine line between appreciation and expectation, and why a genuine "thank you" can go further than a $5 bill. We also share some of our favorite (and cringiest) experiences receiving treats, tips, and thoughtful surprises in the sky. We talk all things passenger courtesy, th...
Have comments? Text us! Ever wondered how we flight attendants actually plan our lives around the chaos of air travel? In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on the mystery of our schedules. From the strategies we use (or don’t) when bidding for monthly trips, to how our contracts shape our work rules, we’re breaking it all down in a way only two seasoned crew members can.
