Customer Reviews

Safety at 30,000 Feet

This insightful book targets not only strategies of how to cope on your airline trip, but how to prepare for any emergency in the sky. This author has the courage to expose what airlines implement to create more revenue - at our expense. Airline marketing departments promise the sky but won't even deliver a good seat. Diana Fairechild promises you will profit from the read and delivers the goods.

Fascinating and Fun

This book is full of inside airline secrets only a flight attendant with 21 years of experience could know. It is a scholarly work with footnoted references for more information. It is packed with fascinating factoids. See her Table of Contents. The book ends with Fairechild's Passenger Bill of Rights. If you travel a lot (I make 2-3 trips a week), you will find this book fascinating and fun.Dan Poynter

Fascinating insider glimpses

Diana Fairechild has impeccable credentials for authoring such a book, and the depth of her knowledge shines through every page of this fascinating book.Although small - only some 75 pages of actual core content - the book has many fascinating and funny facts and factoids. Information on how to respond to medical emergencies in the air might save your life, and while it is hard to say that the information on the part of the 767 that travels 90 mph faster than the rest of the plane will save your life, it is a fascinating bit of trivia that you can impress and amaze your friends with.Some of her insider stories are horrifying, and others are humorous, but all are very readable.An entertaining and informative book. Recommended.
