THE FLIGHT HOSTESS
👩🏽‍🍳Chef Flight Attendant
✨Luxury Hospitality Expert
🌎Largest Platform & Community for Private Jet Flight Attendants in the World

Oct 25

When I started this career eight years ago, I did not know that you don’t always need to know ExAcTLy what you’re doing. Sometimes you have to figure it out along the way and wing it (pun intended). We face new challenges every day, on every flight, and yes, years of experience helps bolster that confidence to face each one. However, if you fully commit to believe in your competence and your ability to be resourceful, that’s what will harvest the most important experience and skill set #mondaymotivation

[Plane]made White Truffle Crab Cakes 🦀 Served with lemon thyme oven-steamed heirloom carrots, creamed corn, and citrus dressed arugula for bite. Full recipe and instructions are linked in my bio but I have to say this is one of my favorite recipes I have done onboard to date. This recipe started and was developed by an amazing contract Flightess had with a very talented Flight Tech/Attendant whose aircraft owner loves a crab penne alla vodka. We took keen note of this flavor/ ingredient and explored other ways we could create fast recipes around it inflight, hence the decadent and universally loved crab cake. What is fantastic about crab cakes is their versatility, they can be rolled into 2" small balls for appetizers with a dipping sauce, plated on top of a bed of greens for a heftier luncheon salad, or even served with roasted vegetables for a full dinner meal. Having this recipe in your back pocket is sure to come in handy when you least expect it 🦀

Flightess Favorite Things by @primadonnalux [Part One] When the Primadonna team called and ran this idea of a luxury hospitality workshop at their booth for NBAA- BACE, it was such an OBVIOUS yes!!! A full hour of playing with creamy Italian sheets, linens, and cashmeres whilst showing other flight attendants how to make that luxe Forbes Travel Five Star Bed and set a fine dining table with Bernardaud and Christofle?!?! Biggest Takeaway? Lines and Layers!! Show off the sheets, they don’t have to hide under your quilts// duvets. Fold it back, then forward again to create a crisp line pleat that’s practically begging the guest to be curled and cozied underneath. The more layers of the bedding we can show off, the more luxe it looks. In addition, when we create layers of a quilt + cashmere blanket, we allow our guest a better opportunity to regulate their body heat while they sleep with multiple options to layer up or strip down. We break up the sea of white bedding with a cashmere bed skirt which perfectly matches the signature taupe of the sheet and pillow silhouette. Can we also get an amen for a luxe quilt moment versus stuffing duvet inserts into their cover onboard???🙃🙃 Did I mention this is all quick ship capability?? Meaning it only takes 7-10 days to be delivered to your aircraft versus the standard bespoke bedding that can take months. [PS don’t forget that sleep silk mask dangling on the corner of a pillow for the last luxe touch ✨✨]

Clearly my cheeks still hurt from meeting and connecting with so many CFAs this past week!! We hosted over 50 Corporate Flight Attendants and Bizav professionals at the Flightess Coffee Networking Event on Tuesday morning before NBAA conference opened! The reason we planned this event is because NBAA BACE is a HUGE production. It can be intimidating to go into a space without a planned direction or even a friendly pal at your side. I wanted to provide a space and time for all my ladies and gentlemen in our industry to be able to congregate, connect, and exchange contact information without any intimidation. This industry is all about who you know, networking plays a key role in the opportunities that come your way and your overall career success. … And there was SO much networking magic happening in this room; I am eager and excited to continue to provide more events and opportunities like this one to better serve our community and further our collaborative growth ♥️ Thank you for everyone who made the effort to attend, if you didn’t get a Flightess tote bag, please DM me and I would be delighted to mail you one✨🛩☺️

Oct 15

….and that’s a wrap on NBAA 2021 🛩✨ Leaving Vegas with a heart full of gratitude for the incredible community we have created with Flightess. I started this account with sole purpose to serve and to share with Corporate Flight Attendants worldwide and as it’s grown we have never diverted from that purpose. Collectively, we have grown more eager and steadfast in the vision of a community of corporate flight attendants that collaborate, share, inspire, and champion for one another. I’ll be posting more photos from the Flightess events this past week in the days to come but first and foremost it’s wildly important to acknowledge the individuals who helped bring the Flightess events to life this week @planeandchic @primadonnalux @krys.green @jeanclaire_intheair @jetsetkirsten And yes, Flightess cookie picture brought to you by the one and only @babyfoodintheair

next level extravagance private jets here in vegas ✨💫

As a contractor continually flying new charter guests or aircraft owners, one of my best tips I can give you is to try to take note of at least three things your guest used, ate, or was entertained by on a flight, and if it makes sense, place these items by their seat for your next flight with them. This too, is a “welcome table” without being overly fussy but keenly thoughtful. I keep a Google drive folder organized with every guest I have ever flown and their preferences so that the next time I fly them, I haven’t forgotten a single detail like how they like their coffee (sometimes I do this with pilots too!) This is all part of the Master of Thoughtfulness training taught in the Flightess Mentorship Program ✨🛩 (only three spots left for Nov 1st start date! ) Are there any must-have items you put by guests/aircraft owners seats for boarding? Comment below!!

Oct 6

One of the fundamental elements taught in the Flightess Mentorship Program is being a “Master of Thoughtfulness”. When I say teach this subject, it’s really about leaning into the small nuances of guest observation. When we observe positive micro-expressions of our guests and take note of what caused it, we can find ways to reintroduce that positive experience in a true *~* Master of Thoughtfulness *~* manner For example: I once observed a charter guest doing crossword puzzles for four hours en route to our destination, therefore on the return flight, I quickly created a custom crossword puzzle online with aviation, our specific destination, and private jet trivia. This small act of thoughtfulness cost no money and the delight on the guest’s face was something to remember for a professional lifetime. I only stumped him on ONE crossword question☺️😉 Being a Master of Thoughtfulness is not about the amount of money you spend to delight a guest/aircraft owner, it’s about acting on observations and letting your creativity thrive ✨💫🛩 [We have a few spots left in our next Mentorship Class if you are interested sign up for a discovery call @ the link in the bio]

Flightess Training Retreat! 🌱🍽 “To make anything look effortless, requires an extraordinary amount of effort”- my broken record phrase from training last week 😂 Last week I had the opportunity to travel to Minnesota to train the team at @global.air.charters in Fine Dining Etiquette, Modern Floral Arranging, Silver Service, and the Art of Plating. These ladies picked up the skills and techniques so fast!! It was an absolute pleasure and honor to work with them in person. I sincerely look forward to continuously supporting and celebrating these CFA’s professional skill development. All of the skills taught in our two day training retreat are the launching pad for positive customer service experiences that “wow”.
