Diary of a Flight Attendant

Sex at 34,000 feet? Of course you’re curious. 😜

Being a flight attendant isn’t just a job − it’s a status symbol. Especially with top airlines, you’re groomed for it from day one. You get perks, privileges, and yes − the uniform really does open doors. People often look at you with a mix of admiration and envy. You feel important. Unique. Untouchable.

But what’s it really like behind the scenes? What do they never tell you during recruitment?

    Hi, my name is Marika and I am the author of the book trilogy Diary of a Flight Attendant

    I am an ordinary girl from a small village in Czech Republic who dreamed of seeing the world. After school, I did all sorts of jobs for a while, but it still wasn’t it. I wanted to travel. My plan to work on a cruise ship didn’t work out, but flying for Emirates Airlines did − and it changed my life!

    I packed my suitcase and set off into the unknown. No longer as a passenger, but as a future Emirates flight attendant. For almost five years I lived in Dubai, visited over 65 countries, circled the globe more than 68 times, and experienced situations I could never have imagined before. Airports, hotels, different cultures − but also loneliness and quiet moments behind all that glamour.

    I started writing notes to make sure I didn’t miss any of these moments. And that’s how Diary of a Flight Attendant was born, my personal confession about dreams, fears, and the real life of an Emirates flight attendant. One diary became a book. And then another, and another… because this story deserves to be told.
