Jet Lag and Corona

The last in the current series brings you a dose of jet lag to get excited about for when we start travelling again.

Plus, a quirky boarding announcement from Mayday Millie to reminisce and sumarise our adventures so far.

We reminisce on the fun that operators used to have on the night shift whilst working for an airline call centre.

And as if most vegetarians weren't annoying enough already... we now have to endure "fake vegetarians" while we fly.

Strange human behaviours, jetlag and sleepwalking are all discussed in this episode

Flying prawn tails across the First-Class cabin, spilling red wine over a high value customer and 300 economy class meals ruined just after take-off. These are just some of the first day blunders revealed in today's episode.

Plus - there are all sorts of reasons that a piece of checked luggage might be offloaded before departure... and a vibrating bag though? Indeed - so if it wasn't a toothbrush going off inside, what was it that caused our baggage handler to turn bright red with embarrassment?

We get into cars pretty much every day and put our seatbelts on without even thinking, but why when travelling by air do we act like it's more of a hinderance to wear one?

And Uniforms - not everyone is the same age, height or body structure, but airline uniforms need to be comfortable, durable and most importantly represent an airline's brand. Wearing a uniform takes out the stress of what to wear but what happens when airline crew have a uniform malfunction right at the start of their shift?

Airline Employees are like comedians. Some thrive on passengers who choose to be the hecklers. We discuss some of the most amusing encounters we've witnessed.

And "The Lounge" - what's it really like to be an exclusive airline club member?

Airline freebies... designer pyjamas and super flash amenity kits are discussed in this episiode.

Simon Bennett and Mayday Millie discuss budget airlines and in-flight etiquette in this episode.

What does it take to land that prestigious job as an International Flight Attendant for a leading airline? Mayday Millie tells us what we can expect from selection, interview process to the 8-weeks of intensive training to finally get on the roster.
 
We also discuss the perks of Staff Travel benefits - flying Business Class (sometimes First Class) all over the world on your vacation, for a fraction of the cost! How does it all work and how cheap is it really? Simon and Mayday share their own experiences of when it didn't all go to plan.

An edgy, open and upfront talk series that reveals things from the world of travel and aviation that you thought were only true in the movies.

Mayday Millie and Simon Bennett are your travel guides for this series: A long-haul flight attendant with 20 years' experience flying for one of the world's major and safest airlines, and a frequent flyer whose loyalty to airlines is only as strong as his most recent flight!
