I absolutely LOVED this book!

It was such an entertaining read that I found myself completely engrossed from start to finish.

What made it even more interesting was the inside look it gave into all the juicy gossip that goes on behind the scenes at an airport.

After reading this book, I have to admit that I never want to get on an aeroplane again!

It really opened my eyes to the chaos and drama that can unfold in such a seemingly ordinary place.

One piece of advice that I will definitely take away from this book is to NEVER be rude to anyone in an airport.

You just never know what kind of situation they might be dealing with or how it could potentially affect your own travel experience.

Overall, this was a very funny book that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a lighthearted and enjoyable read.

This was an easy read that truly brightened up my commute to work.

It was a pleasant diversion during those otherwise ordinary moments.

I have to admit that I did enjoy it quite a bit.

However, like other reviewers have mentioned, I do have some doubts.

It seems rather unlikely that everything noted in the book could have happened within the same 24-hour period.

Some of the events described did seem a bit far fetched.

Despite these reservations, it was still a light-hearted read that provided some entertainment.

It was a nice way to pass the time and escape from the daily grind.

Overall, I would recommend it to those looking for a quick and easy read that doesn't take itself too seriously.

Great fun. It was truly laugh out loud funny. I really loved it. Perhaps it wasn't quite as gripping as Hotel Babylon, but it was hugely enjoyable all the same. The story had its own charm and entertainment value.


I certainly take my hat off to cabin crew and ground staff who work these jobs. They have to deal with all kinds of situations and people on a daily basis. It can't be easy.


Although they certainly seem to get their own back on difficult customers! It was quite amusing to see how they managed to handle those challenging passengers. Their wit and resourcefulness were really impressive.


Overall, it was a great read that kept me entertained from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a light-hearted and enjoyable book.

\\n  "Do you know the best place to have sex on a plane? Do you know that one drink in the air equals three on the ground? Do you know who is checking you in? Who is checking you out? Do you know what happens to your luggage once it leaves your sight? Is it secure? Are you safe?"

(back cover)



This book offers a truly fascinating expose of life in the sky. It delves into various aspects that most passengers may not even consider. The questions posed on the back cover immediately pique the reader's interest and make them eager to discover the answers. Once I started reading this book, my perception of air travel completely changed. I became more aware of the hidden details and the behind-the-scenes operations. It made me realize that there is so much more to a flight than just sitting in a seat and reaching the destination. My journey has never been the same since I've read this book. It has opened my eyes to a whole new world of aviation and has made me look at air travel in a different light.

Lots of things I was curious to know about the behind-the-scenes world of the airline service industry. I wanted to understand how they manage to handle thousands of passengers every day, how they ensure the safety and comfort of everyone on board, and what goes on behind the scenes to make a flight run smoothly.


However, there are also some things that I really wish I didn't know. For example, the long hours and hard work that the check-in folks and flight attendants have to endure, the stress and pressure they face, and the sometimes difficult passengers they have to deal with.


The bottom line is that we should all be really really nice to the check-in folks and the flight attendants. They are the ones who make our travel experience possible, and they deserve our respect and appreciation. So the next time you fly, make sure to give them a smile and a kind word, and let them know that you appreciate all the hard work they do.

I truly adored this book. Having spent years as one of those "hosties" with a major international airline, I could relate to numerous stories within it. By the way, although some of the stories might be considered exaggerated, there is still an element of truth in them. However, this only makes the reading experience all the more fascinating.


It's an absolutely hilarious ride.


The story, presented through the eyes of an airport duty manager and taking place within a 24-hour time frame, reveals all the dramas that unfold in an international airport. From the baggage handlers to the check-in agents, flight attendants, and more, it offers a comprehensive look. It's a side-splitting journey that allows you to discover all the secrets of those people you usually don't care about or take for granted. And it shows how they seek revenge on those so-called hideous passengers.


Yes, flight crew, both in the cockpit and the cabin, do engage in mischief. Although the days of having fun during long layovers are now a thing of the past. Now, you fly to your destination, and if you're fortunate, you have a day there and then fly right back home. There's no time for partying. Well, I wonder how much one can fit into a night-stop.


Travellers are provided with a few tips on how to, in a light-hearted way, get themselves upgraded. It's extremely difficult, but I suppose one can still give it a try. Those drunken passengers, they确实 exist, believe me! And sex in the sky, it's not a myth. It actually happened on one of my flights.


I absolutely loved the scenes with the crew in the Dubai hotel. I couldn't stop laughing. In fact, I laughed throughout most of the reading of this book. It's truly a buzz.


And finally, it did bring back the most amazing memories I have of my flying life. You know, it's really true. We flight attendants are indeed "Jetsetters on the cheap." And oh yes, buy the book, have a good laugh, and try not to take it too seriously. Just enjoy the process as you turn the pages.

There were some moments that were supposed to be hilarious, but they just didn't quite hit the mark. They lacked that certain something that would have made them truly funny. Maybe it was the delivery, or perhaps the situation just wasn't as absurd as it could have been. Nevertheless, there were still a few chuckles here and there. However, in order to really make people laugh out loud, more authenticity and exaggeration might have been needed. It's like a comedian who tells a joke that sounds good on paper, but when it's actually performed, it falls flat. The audience is left with a sense of disappointment,期待着 something more. In conclusion, while there were some mildly amusing moments, they weren't real enough to be considered truly funny.

This is truly trashy, yet SO GOOD.

It's as if it were an episode of Airline that becomes so outrageously raunchy that they have to air it at 11 pm on a channel like 5Star or something similar.

Obviously, it is exaggerated to a great extent, and there is no possibility that all of this could actually occur to one person or crew within a 24-hour period.

However, that's precisely where the FUN lies!

The over-the-top nature of it all makes it highly entertaining and engaging.

We can sit back, relax, and enjoy the absurdity of the situation, knowing that it's all just for our amusement.

It's a guilty pleasure that we can't help but be drawn to, despite its trashy reputation.

So, let's embrace the fun and enjoy this wild and crazy ride!

Labai dažnai, kai mums atrodo, jog tai per gerai, kad būtų tiesa, ir būna per gerai, kad būtų tiesa. This statement holds a certain truth. In our daily lives, we often encounter situations where something seems too good to be true. We might have doubts and suspicions. However, sometimes, it turns out that what appears so wonderful is indeed the truth. It could be a pleasant surprise, a great opportunity, or a fulfilling experience. But we should also be cautious. Just because something seems perfect doesn't mean we should blindly accept it. We need to use our judgment and critical thinking skills to assess the situation. Sometimes, things that seem too good to be true might actually be hiding some flaws or risks. So, while we should be open to the possibility of wonderful things happening, we should also approach them with a healthy dose of skepticism.

As with all the books under the "Babylon Genre", Air Babylon is no exception.

It is an extremely witty piece of work that showcases remarkable research. The author has managed to blend entertainment and education seamlessly. I found myself not only highly entertained but also deeply shocked by the facts that the book pointed out.

One of my absolute favorite parts was the detailed explanation about the window shutters on the aircraft and the crucial reason why they are required to be kept open during the landing and take-off procedures. This particular aspect was presented in such an engaging manner that it left a lasting impression on me.

The book as a whole offers a unique perspective on various aspects related to the aviation industry, making it a must-read for anyone with an interest in this field or simply those who enjoy a good, informative read.

Working at the airport is not easy.

There are nervous passengers, lost and unusual luggage, life-threatening situations, controls and inspections, tiring and long shifts.

But there is also companionship, love, and hustle and bustle.

We follow the team that works at the London airport and their joys and sorrows.

The little secrets hidden from the eyes of us who just pass through the airports.

It's a very interesting story.

For example, there might be a passenger who is extremely worried about missing their connecting flight, and the airport staff has to go to great lengths to ensure they make it on time.

Or perhaps there is a piece of luggage that gets misplaced, and the team has to work together to track it down and reunite it with its owner.

These are the kinds of things that happen behind the scenes at the airport, and they make for a fascinating look into the world of airport operations.
