Jeremy Greenidge Gallery
One of my favorite frequent fliers is based on the beautiful island of Barbados. Jeremy Greenidge is an aviation/IT consultant who is also an award winning photographer. Of course, I was very interested in his aviation photography but was also equally mesmerized by his other works and asked him to put some of them aside for me (I’ll tell you more about that later). Jeremy Greenidge’s fabulous work is displayed in his online gallery and is definitely worth a long... Read More
Buy Your Kiro Pillow Here
How we travel says a lot about us right? It even affects how we feel when we’ve reached our destination. With this in mind, The Sky Steward felt it was time to set out on a search for the best travel pillow in the sky. The best travel pillow was chosen from dozens of contenders including the free pillows provided by the airlines and the ones for sale on other carriers. Additionally, the u-shaped travel pillows we’re all so used to seeing in airport... Read More
PODCAST: The airline industry provides more drama than Y&R and Bold and the Beautiful (TV soap operas) combined! Did you hear about the United Airlines passenger with a first class ticket that was denied boarding because of his track suit attire? The Sky Steward discusses this and much more on this edition of Jetiquette with his co-host and resident frequent flier, “Margery” (No last name you know, like Cher or Madonna)
There is no hiding from The Sky Steward! He’s always... Read More
Is outrage over airline fees more about “how” they are being applied than the cost?
Airline fees are by far the biggest complaint right now among airline passengers and a major issue of competition between carriers. Southwest makes it a selling point that they do not have one add-on fare after another. In this new Southwest Airlines’ commercial, the baggage handlers even scold a regional jet of United Express as it taxis by demanding to know why they’re charging their customers... Read More

Just In: See The Sky Steward’s Favorite Travel Blanket, THE PAMBEE!
(Watch for a full review post on the PamBee Pillow/Blanket/Eyeshade Set coming soon)
Has that airline blanket you’re snuggling with been sleeping around? Is it time for you to travel with your own travel pillow and blanket?
We’ve all seen many articles examining the scary condition of communal blankets and pillows being provided on airliners. Many airlines have reduced the number of flights which these... Read More

“Ladies and Gentlemen, please direct your attention to the flight attendants as they demonstrate proper travel manners or as we like to call it, Jetiquette, on today’s flight.”
Dear Sky Steward,
Thank you so much for your work to improve the civility displayed by passengers and crew to one another on airline flights throughout the world. I must tell you that you have your work cut out for you. For the most part, people are very polite, patient, and courteous. It’s just that... Read More
The weekly Dear Sky Steward Digest covers airline news and more. This weeks edition:
Air France is introducing new perks for its economy passengers that it used to only offer to premium customers. This is part of the Air France strategy to compensate for declining air fares and a lower demand for premium seats. The seats are closer to the way seats used to be many years ago in business class before lie-flat seat became the rage.
JAL is still in play as Delta and American do their best to work... Read More

With so many airlines like Virgin America, United, and JetBlue offering enhanced coach products that provide extra legroom, there is still the problem of BBS (Big Ball Syndrome) which causes many gentlemen to keep their legs spread wide apart. This causes major discomfort to the passengers on both sides of the BBS sufferer. It must be mentioned that symptoms of BBS are often simply imagined by men that wish they actually had BBS.
“Close your legs to married men” was one of NeNe’s... Read More
Lucy. My 13 year old Yorkie
There is some good news for anyone who’s worried about experiencing a problem when traveling with a pet. I’ll tell you about it in a minute.
If I had my way, everyone could keep smaller dogs on their laps during the flight. There are however a couple of issues that flair up:
Dogs sometimes snap at the flight attendant’s hand as they attempt to place something on their master’s tray (understandable under the circumstances) I’ll continue to... Read More

Dear Sky Steward,
I was wondering why business class flights offer so much alcohol on board when it seems, to me and my husband at least, that the attendants get visibly tense whenever someone agrees to accept a drink.
We save up for one or two big overseas trips in business a year, and we’re foodies that really love and appreciate a good meal and interesting wines. Two drinks from the time I board till the time I land is really the absolute limit for me (I’m kind of a shrimp), but my... Read More
"Devil Wears Prada, Flies Business"
Choosy fliers choose widebodies! [Video below]
I was the Purser between Miami and San Francisco and I was amazed at the number of passengers that commented how much they love the 767-300 on this route.
All of the customers were great, although I was up to some of my old tricks as the plane climbed out of San Francisco on take-off. There was one particular gentleman staring my way everytime I glanced into the cabin. I was convinced he had me on a timer... Read More
