| Ask the Audience: Passenger Pet Peeves | 29 Apr 2025 | 00:36:38 | |
Let's get into the good stuff—and by that, we mean the things that make our eyes twitch and our patience disappear at 35,000 feet. We asked you on Threads, “What’s something people do on planes or in airports that drives you absolutely nuts?” And wow… y’all did not hold back. From people who act like the overhead bins are their personal closets to those who think the aisle is a yoga studio, we’re diving into some of the most hilariously frustrating behaviors that we as flight attendants—and fellow travelers—see all too often. Whether you’re guilty of a few or just want to laugh (and maybe cringe) along with us, this one is packed with ridiculous stories, relatable rants, and a whole lot of side-eye. Buckle up.
Episode Highlights: [0:21] Spring break madness, school chants, and flights full of chaos.

| Love is in the Air: Navigating Dating and Relationships in Aviation | 13 May 2025 | 00:24:34 | |
What happens when two flight attendants fall in love at 35,000 feet? In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain (literally) on what it’s like to date and build a life together while living the chaotic, beautiful, and always unpredictable life of flight crews. From long layovers to long-distance romance, we’re sharing our own story of how we met in the skies, made it work, and how our relationship has taken flight over the last 11 years. We talk about everything from early awkward first encounters to joining each other on overnights, navigating different airlines, decoding each other's schedules, and what it really takes to make a relationship thrive when your "office" is in the sky. Episode Highlights: [0:21] Kicking things off with our current flying schedules — surprisingly drama-free (for once!) [2:47] Reflecting on an adorable couple celebrating 50 years of marriage—and realizing we still can’t do math on how long we’ve been together. [4:00] The super awkward, super cute story of how we met on a plane (spoiler: there was clapping involved). [6:09] How long-distance dating worked for us as two flight attendants in different cities—and why it was oddly easier than it sounds. [9:04] The game-changing role of the StaffTraveler app and how it would’ve made our early dating days so much easier. [11:02] Why dating someone who “gets the industry” made all the difference—and how we made time to see each other despite totally different schedules. [14:12] The (very real) challenges of dating someone not in aviation—cue the classic, “Where are you now?” line. [16:26] Our thoughts on how airline life actually strengthens our relationship and helps us stay intentional with our time together. [21:55] On trust, independence, and communication—our take on why those matter even more when you’re both constantly on the move. [23:29] A call to action: Are you dating in the industry? Flying with your partner? We want to hear your stories!

| Why We'll Take Group Travel Over Solo Travel (Especially With Y'all!) | 27 May 2025 | 00:28:58 | |

| Is This Your Regular Route? What a Flight Attendant Schedule is Really Like | 08 Jul 2025 | 00:26:23 | |
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. And no, we don’t just work weekdays or fly the same routes over and over again. We’re diving into why one of us crams all the hours into just a few days, while the other is constantly swapping trips for something “better.” Plus, we wrap it up with a jaw-dropping listener story.

| Should You Tip Your Flight Attendants?! | 22 Jul 2025 | 00:27:36 | |
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, the psychology of gifting, and how the culture of tipping affects the airline world.

Ever wonder what really goes down on a flight crew layover? In this episode, we’re pulling back the hotel room curtain and dishing on the layover life—whether we’re out chasing the best food spots or locked in our rooms with Netflix and snacks. From wild travel delays to postcard collections, this episode is a true behind-the-scenes look at the weird, wonderful, and sometimes downright chaotic world of flight attendant downtime. We dive into what makes or breaks a layover (spoiler: it’s not just the city), the art of slam clicking, and why our favorite layovers usually involve crispy wings, hot donuts, or a great bookstore. Whether you’re a crew member or a curious traveler, this episode gives you a hilarious and honest view of what it’s really like when the cabin door closes and the crew hits the hotel.

| Labor, Unity, & The Power of Flight Attendants: A Conversation With Sara Nelson | 19 Aug 2025 | 00:59:07 | |
This week, we’re beyond thrilled to welcome Sara Nelson, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA-CWA), into the studio. From wrangling a six-foot-seven passenger mid-flight to wrangling billion-dollar contracts at the bargaining table, Sara brings stories, laughs, and powerful truths about the airline industry you won’t hear anywhere else. We talk about her nearly 30-year career, the moments that lit her fire for union advocacy, and why solidarity is the most important tool we have as flight attendants. You’ll hear about industry changes that impact your flying experience (and ours), how collective action has led to real wins like 10 hours minimum rest, and why flight attendants are so much more than “the girls in the back.” Buckle up – this one’s part hilarious, part jaw-dropping, and 100% inspiring.

| What Flight Attendants Wish Passengers Knew About "The Rules" | 02 Sep 2025 | 00:22:25 | |
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 also sharing a wild in-flight story, including an unforgettable moment that had us questioning everything we thought we knew about carry-ons (spoiler: it involves a baby in an overhead bin).

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 (and stylish) on those sweaty commutes, what’s playing in our AirPods, and how a killer playlist can make all the difference. Then it’s time to get into your opinions on everything from grooming on board to the infamous middle seat. Whether you’re crew or just curious, this episode’s got something for everyone.

| Same Wings, Different Worlds: Life as a Regional Flight Attendant | 30 Sep 2025 | 00:34:51 | |
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 a curious traveler, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes perspectives and brutally honest takes on the pros, cons, and culture of both worlds. Plus, we’ve got a cringe-worthy galley gossip story that will make you rethink in-flight proposals forever.

| Jet Lag 101: The Flight Attendant Survival Guide | 14 Oct 2025 | 00:36:41 | |
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. We’re also diving into TikTok travel trends, influencer airport fails, and the magic of “cart chemistry” on long-haul flights. Plus, we’re dishing out the best jet lag tips we’ve got—from hydration hacks to buffer day brilliance—and, of course, sharing one outrageous galley gossip tale involving a mystery mouse. Grab your melatonin (or maybe don’t), and buckle up for a brutally honest, laugh-out-loud episode that proves no one is immune to the jet lag struggle.
