Two Guys on a Plane

We need more good passengers on our flights! While people often think flight attendants are hard to approach, it’s actually incredibly simple. In reality, it’s the most basic acts of politeness and common courtesy that keep us flight attendants happy and grateful.

In this episode, we’re throwing some well-deserved love and appreciation to all the lovely passengers out there. If you're already that model passenger, or just looki...

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...

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.

We’re also venting (just a little) about holiday passengers, airplane bathroom etiquette, and those deplaning sprinters who ...

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 a...

So many people ask us, “How do I become a flight attendant?” and while the technical answer is simple—go to the airline’s website and apply—the real question is *what airline should you be applying to in the first place? In this episode, we take a step back and talk through everything you should seriously think about before you ever hit that apply button.

From airline personality and uniforms to bases, commuting, aircraft types, pay...

In this episode, we decided to flip the script a bit. You hear us complain about passengers all the time—on the podcast, on the jumpseat, in the galley, everywhere. So today, we handed the mic to you: the passengers. We asked what flight attendants do that drives you nuts, and wow… you did not hold back. From safety announcements you swear are unintelligible, to overhead bin drama, to call bells, credit card pitches, bad perfume, a...
