Confessions of a Hostie by Danielle Hugh

After reading this book, I can guarantee that you will find it extremely difficult to be unsympathetic to flight attendants! Nasty customers, constant health problems and long absences from family and friends are just some of the problems that they have to deal with. In some cases, Danielle even got into dangerous situations when passengers became violent.

In spite of all this, the book is light-hearted and easy to read. Yes, perhaps the glamorous side does make up for the pain. The luxury hotels and shopping are a few of the perks.
