Want to know what really happens on an aeroplane?
Let’s go behind the scenes and fly high with these tall tales and gossip from the galley!

Everyone wants to be a flight attendant, or at least they want to know about the cushy lifestyle they lead – flying to exotic destinations, swanning about in five-star hotels, daytime lazing around the pool and night-time tabletop dancing with Bollywood stars. At last the lid is lifted. Come on board a real airline with a real first-class flight attendant and find out what really goes on.

In Confessions of a Qantas Flight Attendant – True Tales and Gossip from the Galley, Owen Beddall dishes the first-class dirt – he tells you the things you always wanted to know (and maybe a few things you didn’t) about the glamorous world of flying, including:
• What really goes on behind that curtain…
• The gay culture – “It was one of the only jobs in the world that was completely ‘gay friendly’.”
• His most horrendous flight – Owen surprised his boyfriend by working his flight, only to be surprised himself when Toby walked on board with his wife!
• His many mishaps, including breaking his jaw in London, being bitten by snake in Bangkok, and breaking his spine after a fall during training exercise.
• Cabin crew adventures and misadventures in and out of that smart uniform in far flung places.
• And, most importantly, lots of celebrity gossip. Katy Perry, Lily Allen, Kylie Minogue, Venus Williams and Cate Blanchett are all in the galley having a gossip with Owen.

Confessions of a Qantas Flight Attendant is a hilariously bumpy ride around the world with a very funny man.
