Fasten Your Seatbelts: A Flight Attendant's Adventures 36,000 Feet and Below Paperback – January 7, 2014

A very enjoyable read about a woman's experiences in life while being a flight attendant. I enjoyed reading about all the different adventures she had with drunk passengers, celebrities she met, the fun and scary and unique things she did while on layovers in exotic destinations. I also liked hearing about her personal stories too even if they didn't have to do with flying. I wish the story didn't end, I wanted to hear more.

Ah, I knew I would love this book. I'm a sucker for air travel stories, probably because I'm so fascinated by this mode of transportation. Plus, it's safer to read about crazy flights than to actually experience them.In this true tale, Churchill explores the drama of surviving several such air scares, as well as some on the ground that arose from challenging interpersonal relationships. She suggests, demonstrating through riveting explanation, that the supernatural played a big role in her getting over these obstacles.I felt saddened as that percentage inched toward 100, for the anticipation of diving back into those pages enlivened many a dull workday. I'd suggest you grab it, and see if you feel the same.

This book reveals the ups and downs of working in the airlines industry. It is bursting full of stories that are seen through the seasoned flight attendant's eyes. Highly recommend it for anyone who flies or for anyone who is pursuing a career as a flight attendant. I gave it five stars because I could not put the book down! I found myself laughing out loud, reading about the paranormal, feeling horrified about the behaviors of some of the passengers, realizing the risks of flying daily and learning about what the entire crew experiences in general. Technical information was also described to acquaint the reader more about the functions of the airplane and what to actually do in case of an emergency.

This is as close to my life in the 70s as any book I have ever read. Please write more Cris. You brought back a flood of memories. I love the way this writer wrote her story. I too felt that all my passengers were my guests at my party. I would have loved to have worked with you. Our passengers would be happy and we would have a ball! Have I told you the one about the time I skated down the aisle of my L1011 on my new rollerblades...or the time the first officer wore a gorilla mask on Halloween night and scared us all to death...or....

Christine has a great way of putting herself out there for the world to see. She can laugh at herself and also not be afraid to let the truth pour out when telling of a very personal matter. I love the way she has a mixture of stories. They are funny, heartwarming, gruesome, fearful, informative and threw all that are so down to earth. I'm not a frequent flier but when i do fly I hope to remember to truly thank the flight attendants. Great job and hope the book is a big success!

I had to check what year this book was published because it seemed weirdly dated. The language is coy and the author sometimes comes across as naïve and unsophisticated. This is an American girl from the south and her story is sometimes interesting and sometimes saccharine. I like hearing about the day to day activities and responsibilities of flight attendants and have a lot of respect for their patience with obnoxious passengers. I just found it hard to engage with this authors back story involving some spectacularly bad relationships and baffling life choices.

Interesting stories from the view of a flight attendant. Gives the reader a good perspective of what flight crews deal with. Funny and heartwarming. Would recommend.

If you are considering a career as a Flight Attendant or travel regularly on the airlines, this is a very good book for you. The author sheds light on some of the inner workings of an airline. She also revels some typical, and not-so-typical life experiences of airline crews. I travel a lot and found this book quite entertaining and informational. I feel like I've experienced life as a flight attendant. Really enjoyed it!
