Q. I am interviewing  with USAirways soon, and am really excited. I am an older applicant, with years of customer service experience. I have two questions, 1. How would you recommend I dress? I am told the interviewers grow weary of Blue suits. 2. Do credit checks highly impact hiring as a flight attendant? Thanks […]

I love having twenty four hour layovers! The only downfall is sometimes, like my Chicago layover, I wish it was 48 hours! There is just so much to do downtown Chicago. If you remember from a previous post, Twenty Four Hours in Boston I try to stay in budget with my per diem which is […]

Gatwick Airport is the busiest single runway airport in the world, and the second busiest airport in Britain. Situated in Crawley, just south of London, it is London’s second largest airport. This airport has lots of shops – in fact there are so many shopping opportunities here that you might well think you’re in a […]

The Jaunted article goes […]

Hope everyone had as nice a fourth of July as I did! I didn’t think it would turn out special because I was stuck flying, but my family surprised me mid-trip and came with me for 15 hours to San Diego. I flew down from Calgary on day two of my three day trip expecting […]

Should babies be allowed in First Class? This is a very popular subject and one that comes with a lot of opinions. I recently asked the question on Twitter after the news came out about Malaysian Airlines not allowing children under two in their first class cabin. Here is what a few had to say: […]

I discovered a great new way to travel a few years back after the birth of my daughter. Hotel rooms stopped having the same appeal when we traveled as a family. Trapped in one room with our three week old, colicky baby left much to be desired. At least if we had more space we […]
