by Donald Bain, Trudy Baker, Rachel Jones

Book Overview

Remember when flying was glamorous and sexy, even fun? When airline food was gourmet, everyone dressed up for a flight, and stewardesses catered to our every need-at least in our imaginations?

Customer Reviews

Great Experience

The book was in the condition that was stated and arrived promptly. Great buying experience. Would use the seller again!

Funny, Funny, Funny

you'll laugh out loud. Easy & quick to read. Timeless even in today's air travel.

When flying was actually fun

This is a must read of a not too distant time when flying actually was fun and considered by most, exciting. It was a classy affair in the 60's to take an international flight and airlines actually served real fine food- including cherries jubilee flambee! The antics of the stewardesses is a time warp of the free love era and it is hysterical. A must read that will make you long for this bygone era next time you are cattle called onto your flight and forced to purchase "food" on board. Side note: the somewhat mythical "mile high club" began its origins in these very pages.

Awesome book

This book was my mothers as a young teen and passed down to me when i turned 13 a few years ago. The book is wonderful, Its one of those books you start reading and dont want to put down thats how good it is. I've read the whole series and they all are great. you could read this book over and over again and never get tired of it. I reccommend this book to anyone.

One of the best books on the subject ever written!

Mind you, I read this book way back when I was in the 6th or 7th grade, so I don't have an active memory of it, however, from what I can remember, I thought it was terrific! I was friends at the time with a flight attendant, who gave me the book, and I was at the time considering the career of flight attendant, so you can understand my bias about it. However, I think this is a brilliant book! Funny and charming with stories from the air to make you laugh and smile! I highly reccommend it!
