Amazon.com Review:
It's hard to believe that the stories in Plane Insanity, the hilarious book by Elliott Hester, are true. But they are. Before you read even a single page, you know you're in for a wild ride just from the subtitle: A Flight Attendant's Tales of Sex, Rage, and Queasiness at 30,000 Feet. Hester has encountered just about everything in his 15 years of flying the skies or "riding tin," and he recounts these laugh-out-loud encounters with plenty of attitude and self-deprecating humor. Not to spoil the fun, but a few juicy tidbits include Hester as the hapless victim of a child's projectile vomit, chasing a sparrow around the cabin, mistakenly putting a woman on the wrong flight, and recalling the unfathomable account of an inebriated man defecating atop a liquor cart, to the horror of passengers and crew. Just when you think the stories can't get anymore outlandish he outdoes himself with the titillating antics of amorous couples who vie for membership in the infamous Mile High Club. And did our Mr. Hester himself ever become a member of this elite club? You'll have to read the book to find that out. Believe me, you'll be glad you did--this is the one of the year's funniest reads. --Jill Fergus
Product Description:
Make sure your seatbacks and tray tables are in their full upright and locked position for these shocking, bizarre, hilarious, and outrageous stories of airplane travel.
You’re belted into a middle seat with burly businessmen on either side. It’s ninety-two degrees in the cabin and someone forgot to use deodorant. A baby screams. A kid kicks the back of your seat. After two hours you haven’t even left the taxiway. Welcome to modern airline travel! In Plane Insanity, Elliott Hester delivers stories that could only come from someone who “rides tin” for a living---a flight attendant.
You’ll hear about:
* the passenger from hell
* a smuggled python
* prostitutes working the lavatories
* a riot in coachclass
* a $500,000 heist
* the anatomy of a carry-on bag
* a malodorous couple
* the Mile-High Club
* and much more!
Fasten your seatbelts. After Plane Insanity, you’ll never think of air travel the same way again.

Rating:  -
Boring tales inundated with superfluous metaphors. You'd think the author prayed to the god Metaphor morning, noon, and night for inspiration.
Rating:  -
I bought this book at an airport to read during a long flight. It is full of funny stories and strange tales. His writing style is very engaging. I read it all in one sitting. I wish he would write a sequel!
Rating:  -
Bought it as could not get the Air Babylon book, which was recommended. Started reading but got bored very fast. Bought Air Babilon and it is much more interesting and realistic
Rating: -
This book is a rehash of old stories. Nothing new or insightful. A far better read is Babylon Air.
Plane Insanity is very funny in the first 5 or so pages but loses the plot after than and becomes a standard review of items you have either experienced or read about in the papers.
Most disappointing read this year!
Rating: -
Half the stories are not funny and there is way too much complaining about the job. Mr. Hester is, though, a skillful writer and you can read thru the whole book to end up wondering why you did not throw it away sooner. Maybe Mr.Hester should quit flying and become a full time writer.
Fit to read while waiting for your delayed flight.
