Diary of a Flight Attendant - Paperback

by Marika Mikusova (Author)

This diary was never meant to be read. With more than 65 countries and almost 5 years of experience as a cabin crew, the autor decided to initiate you into the seemingly glamorous life of a stewardess for one of the most renowned airlines. But is really all that glitters gold?

Get ready to get to know the truth -
This book is not just a collection of funny stories related to flying and the life of a Dubai flight attendant. What I want to share with you has never been written before. I'm going to tell you what flight attendants do when passengers aren't looking; what we're not allowed to talk about on board; and what it's like to wake up in a different bed each time.

I'll tell you about sexual harassment and obedience; about extreme situations where lives are at stake; and what it's like to work in an atmosphere of fear for one of the biggest airlines in the world.

I'll give you tips on how to succeed in an interview. You'll learn what's fun and what's a nightmare about training to be a Dubai flight attendant; what it's like working with different nationalities, and who the worst passengers are. I'll include the good - like travelling to the best destinations; the bad - such as the potential mental issues; and the ugly - the moments when I wanted to give up, and what our job looks like during the coronavirus pandemic.
