Wow! This book is AWESOME! For someone who never reads books, I COULD NOT STOP once I started. I got the book in the mail on a Monday and was finished by Tuesday afternoon. When you are reading this book, you feel like you are right there with her along the way. This Book will literally make you laugh and cry. Ellen Simonetti did a fantastic job telling the reader the true side of being in the airline industry. A+++ JOB!

The book came in at the perfect time. I was having my own problems, but picked this book up, and it literally did help me. It made me realize that I am not the only person on this earth with problems, and she is just an everyday person that has helped so many people by making this book. So please, do yourself a favor and buy this book. I promise you will not be disappointed.

It was very interesting getting something of an inside glimpse into the world of flight attendants. As I started getting into the book, I didn't want to put it down. I was dying to know what happened next! The blog format actually makes it an easy read. The author has a talent for injecting the right amount of humor without over doing it. I thoroughly enjoyed the book!

Glorious!!!!!!Attention all sky goddesses: This one is for you or for anyone else who wonders what the life of a sky goddess is really like. Follow the adventures of this "queen of the sky" as she begins as a blog virgin and becomes the consummate blog veteran. It will have you lol:-) Her story is an addictive pleasure:-) But what really captures the imagination remains the reality that this fantasy is based upon. It had me cheering for The Queen of the Sky and all the other underpaid, overworked sky divas out there who deserve better treatment from the airline corporations who employ them but sometimes think they own them:-o Viva La Freedom of Speech:-)Buh-bye!

I <3 "Queen of Sky" as she's more commonly known.

I remember reading this when it was on her blog - and it's was still funny the 2nd time around. ;)

Her trips and escapades are very interesting and I couldn't put the book down after I started reading it! All in all a good read.

I wasn't sure if I would like this book, but I really did. The main character is rather quirky and reminded me of myself at times. I read it while at the beach and my husband kept asking me what was so funny. :)

Hi all. I really enjoyed reading this book. If you've ever wondered like I have about the life and goings on behind the scenes of flight crews, the people who do the real work minus the pilots then this is the book for you. I couldn't put it down it was so incredibly interesting. It was like reading a diary. I only wish I could have been in on the ground floor of the blog.

This is the hilarious adventures of Queen of Sky, a stewardess who flaunts political correction in your face. This lady knows what it is to pray to the Porcelain Goddess, yet gets up off her knees and does the Bag Drag with style and grace. What else are sunshades and Visine for? Elena gets herself in situations abroad that are lessons of what not to do ~~again!
She is a definite great read and we look forward to the next installment of Queen of Sky, Goddess of the Beverage Cart!!

"Diary of a Dysfunctional Flight Attendant: The Queen of Sky Blog" is a funny and insightful look into the "glamourous" world of flight attendants. Being a flight attendant myself I lived each moment with Queen of Sky and envied her ability to make the worst situations funny. Even for those outside the industry I recommend the Queen of Sky Blog as a witty and entertaining read!

I guess I expected a modern version of "Coffee, Tea or Me", so in that regard I was a bit disappointed. As a Delta million miler and platinum member, I really wanted to read about her altercation with Delta, but again there was not much there. Obviously the terms of her agreement must have placed a limit on what she could disclose. I thought the blog format was a bit tedious to read - blogs are OK when read in real time, but a year's worth is a bit much.

The good part is that the author came across as a very genuine person that you couldn't help but like, and I could identify with many of her travel experiences.

An excellent read. Through all the day to day drudgery of waiting lounges and crew lounges, Elena finds the adventure and fun in life. She's normal yet exceptional, and you come to truly love her and hope for the best for her.

I found myself giggling at times but my heart broke for Elena at times too. This is what a diary should be, this one enables you to care about this person through their ups and downs. Elena has the courage to share it all with her readers.
