Pride in Aviation: Why LGBTQ+ Representation Matters
Happy Pride Month, everyone! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Let’s appreciate how far we’ve come as a community—how we’ve earned our place, gained a meaningful representation, and how we can walk freely and fearlessly anytime, anywhere.

How Flight Attendants Balance Mom Life: Pregnancy, Parenting, & Flying with Kids
How do flight attendants balance raising a family with an unpredictable flying schedule? And what is it really like to work at 35,000 feet while pregnant? Our guest this week, Brittney, shares her firsthand experience as someone who’s living both lives — flight attendant and mom — and she’s not holding anything back! From working flights while pregnant (yes, it’s as intense as it sounds) to the reality of airline policies, she breaks down what actually happens behind-the-scenes and what most people don’t realize. We also get into the hot topic everyone has opinions on: kids on planes. After years of seeing it all as crew, her perspective has completely changed now that she’s a parent, and it might change yours too. Brittney shares some of her best travel tips for traveling with kids on planes. Plus, we talk about the emotional side of balancing this career with motherhood, the schedule chaos, the guilt, the support systems, and what it actually takes to make this lifestyle work with a kid at home.

How Our Trip to Thailand Almost Fell Apart
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 really kicked off. From rooftop welcome drinks in Bangkok to tuk-tuk food tours, floating markets, long-tail boats, and even trying some questionable street food, the trip was packed with unforgettable moments. We’re sharing what surprised us most about Thailand, the highlights from traveling with our group, and a few lessons we learned the hard way along the journey. Watch this episode on YouTube! Episode Highlights [0:00] Our “simple” trip to Thailand turns into a travel nightmare before we even leave the U.S. [2:10] A snowstorm causes canceled flights, standby chaos, and a scramble to escape Philly. [5:30] We abandon non-rev plans, buy tickets, and take a four-hour Uber to JFK. [9:20] We finally arrive in Bangkok, meet our group at rooftop happy hour, and start the trip with a welcome dinner. [11:20] Night one: night markets, an empty nightclub, and learning Bangkok nightlife starts late. [13:00] Day two includes a cultural museum, a long-tail boat ride, and a new favorite Thai dish. [15:20] A tuk-tuk street food tour leads us to exotic fruit and some very questionable snacks. [18:10] The famous railway market and floating markets where vendors move their shops for passing trains. [21:00] An unforgettable drag show featuring queens from Drag Race Thailand. [24:30] We fly to Phuket and immediately start judging the airline service. [26:00] Island hopping around the Phi Phi Islands with snorkeling and shark conservation rules. [31:20] A “relaxing” day featuring Thai massages that absolutely wreck us. [33:30] Our final night in Phuket exploring Old Town and night markets. [36:00] We wrap up by sharing where we’re traveling next.

What It's Really Like Living in Hotels as an Airline Flight Attendant
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 aircraft. Plus, in Galley Gossip, a mid-flight wardrobe change turns the aisle into a full-blown fashion runway somewhere over Kentucky. Buckle up. This one’s chaotic in the best way. Watch this episode on YouTube! Episode Highlights [1:03] We talk holiday travel madness — once-a-year flyers, seat confusion, and why row numbers suddenly stop making sense. [2:42] Drew goes full lecture mode on airplane bathroom etiquette. Tissues. Courtesy. Please. [5:24] My rant: the deplaning sprinters who think common courtesy no longer exists. [7:28] The glamour of hotel life — from rundown apartments to La Quinta feeling like luxury. [9:31] Food bed vs. non-food bed. Office beds. Furniture that makes zero sense. [11:38] The mysterious conference room hotel suite situation (yes, it happened). [14:50] Accessible room surprises and asking the front desk for a “bathtub and shower curtain.” [16:35] Naked hallway stories and why we need data on this immediately. [17:22] Worst hotel offenses: bad beds, bad pillows, and impossible-to-find outlets. [19:22] Connecting room paranoia… and Drew apparently opening the door on purpose. [20:09] When your coworkers fight next door and security gets involved. Hotels: sometimes Jerry Springer, sometimes Marriott. [23:25] To inspect for bed bugs or live blissfully unaware? We choose peace. [25:39] Bathtubs vs. showers — and why soaking your feet in a sink may or may not be acceptable. [28:11] Regional flying throwback: ordering pizza to the hotel before we even land. [31:00] Galley Gossip: A passenger changes into a floral sundress mid-aisle and asks us if it’s giving Magic Kingdom or Epcot. [34:32] We wrap it up and invite you to send us your wildest hotel stories. Thanks for flying with us! If you laughed, cringed, or felt personally attacked by our hotel pet peeves, do us a favor: rate, follow, share, and leave a review. It helps more than you know. See you next time at 35,000 feet!

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 that keep us grounded when life is anything but. From “just landed” texts to Etch-A-Sketch love notes, we’re sharing how we make it work—without pretending it’s always easy. If you’re navigating challenging travel schedules, long distance dating, or just trying not to let routine take over your seasoned relationship, this one’s for you. Watch this episode on YouTube! Episode Highlights: [1:07] Why February has us talking love—and what it’s really like being married flight attendants. [3:04] Winter flying struggles and the toddler who ran the cabin. [6:20] The big question: how do we make this schedule actually work? [8:25] Why absence keeps things intentional (and interesting). [11:07] Months apart vs. six weeks together—finding the balance. [16:38] Airport crossovers and five-minute coffee dates that save the day. [17:24] Our purple door, Etch A Sketch notes, and Trader Joe’s love language. [19:49] Mandatory texts: good morning, good night, wheels up, wheels down. [22:06] Turning work trips into adventure (Lisbon chaos included).
