INTRODUCTION
This is a wonderful book, about the life of a flight attendant. We often see the glamour part of the industry, visiting new places, staying in the best of the hotels, meeting elite crowd but then there is a flip side to this all.
This is a story of a girl, who dares to dream and wanted to see the whole world. She achieves her dream and becomes an air hostess. I was impressed by her clarity of vision and determination. She was not ready to settle for the second best.

The writer takes us through an internal journey of cabin crew attendants. I have myself witnessed many incidents, where flyers are not ready to comply with the basic safety instructions, making it difficult for crew members.
This book proves the proverb right, travel is the best way to experience and live life. Travel opens up your mind and makes you more accommodating. One starts enjoying the diversity and witnesses different cultures. Pari’s journey from a timid teenager to a confident mature cabin crew member is a sheer delight to read. She has been honest in her writings, she also mentioned that at times due to grilling schedules, many crew members suffer from cervical or spondylitis.
