Two Guys on a Plane

Have you seen the standby list in July? If you have, then you completely understand the stress and crazy things passengers go through at this time of the year. Non-Rev travel in the summer is not for the weak! You need a solid backup plan, good weather, and hopefully—an extra tablespoon of patience. Non-revving can be chaotic, and that’s okay! It has taught us the value of patience and flexibility. Plus, our loved ones always get a thrilling sense of adventure out of it! In this e...

Are flight attendants judging you? (Maybe, just a little). In reality, we are focused on your safety and on-watch for potential threats or issues that might arise onboard. In this episode, we’re reacting to passenger red flags and how we “calmly” deal with them—from coping with rude remarks to managing a large group of rowdy adults. Trust us, a day in the life of a flight attendant is never short of drama and wild sights! A simple gesture of appreciation can completely change our ...

Threads is our favorite social media platform right now! Why? Because we're able to share our most unhinged thoughts there…and apparently, they are very relatable! Join the conversation on Threads! We recently posted a poll on Threads and asked our audience, “Flight attendants, what is the most jaw-dropping thing you’ve ever seen a passenger do?” Surprisingly, we got a ton of interesting responses, and they didn’t disappoint. From sudden outfit changes to a tin foil hat, it’s like the w...

We’re switching things up and having some fun today—because honestly, sometimes you just need to laugh about the chaos that comes with this job.

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 Gall...

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 structures, and company culture, we’re breaking down the stu...

Ever think about the firsts that shape a career? In this episode, we’re taking a nostalgic stroll down memory lane and talking about the moments that made us who we are as flight attendants.

In this episode, we’re diving headfirst into the chaos, comfort, and absolute craziness of spending the holidays as flight attendants—and we brought two of our favorite people along for the ride. We’re joined by our friends and fellow crew members, Bre ane Caleb, who have somehow managed to turn missed holidays, graveyard-view hotel rooms, and granola-bar “Christmas dinners” into some of the most magical traditions we’ve ever experienced. Together, we talk about the wild layovers that shaped...

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 Ti...
