Flying is one of the modern world’s great marvels and one of its strangest everyday experiences. In This Is Your Captain Speaking, former commercial pilot and current aviation academic Dr. Jamie Cross takes you behind the scenes of the entire journey, from booking your ticket to finding your suitcase at the other end.
Along the way, discover:
- How airlines set fares, allocate seats, and decide who gets the perks
- What really goes on at check-in, security, and the boarding gate
- The surprising secrets of cabin crew and life behind the cockpit door
- Why planes make strange noises, turbulence happens, and pilots stay calm
- Where lost luggage goes and what the future of flying holds
Packed with entertaining stories, surprising facts, insider tips, and a generous dose of humor and myth-busting, This Is Your Captain Speaking reveals the ingenious, and occasionally absurd, world behind your boarding pass. You’ll never look at flying quite the same way again.
