Quintessential Airboy. Fly FIRST CLASS with me !

After some heated conflicts between my left and right brain. Both agreed and came to a decision. A decision to make a special section of this website dedicated only to frequent readers/flyers. If you’re a regular here, this will interest you the most. Even more so if you’re already in the aviation industry (in other [...]

366 days in the SANDPIT !

Yep, it’s official, 365 days have gone by since I landed in the middle of a desert. I have seen a viaduct being built right in front on my window, a few dozen new towers spring up, a few hundred new roads layed out, all this in the span of a little year. A year [...]

Airboy does Mauritius in 2009 / Atlantis Resort in Dubai

Before I go on and rant about this dreamy place I just went to. I’ll bore you for a few minutes more and let you all know that I finally paid a visit to the Palm Jumeirah and its now famous Atlantis resort. Earlier on last year (November 4th I think) they opened the place [...]

Glamorous Emirates Crew…. as per the Wall Street Journal…

It feels weird seeing the places I see everyday featured in the WSJ ! Wall Street Journal for you fellas ! People I even went out with are pictured (namely Lea) ! Please read on and make an opinion for yourself (leave comments). I’ve included pictures from the article. As for the weight SOP, I’m [...]

The American Boy takes the Pink Poodle for a walk in Munich…

I was meant to post this earlier and was overtaken by the Pink Poodle and her amazing post over at The Pink Poodle on the Runway. We only met once, when I was dropping my brother at DXB airport for him to hoover off to Brisbane for his not-so-backpacking-kind of year out (in fact he’s [...]

Paris was cold, ZINC was hot…. Rain in Dub-Dub !

Where do I start ? It’s been pretty hectic for the last few days… Busy bee. Since I posted last we had some other antics at Zinc with a marching army of French dudes. I’d nearly forced everyone I knew in Dubai to meet up there to catch up and surprisingly a few peeps turned [...]

Open air boogie. DIY masters

Despite not being at 100% of my health right now I couldn’t miss out on a booze fuelled night out with some cool dudes including Misha, Marilyn, Sarah, Irena, Chaouki, Tall Ben and others we met at the Lodge. A disco with 2 different floors, one for hip-hop and their pathetic dance battles, the other [...]

Remember when you were 16 years old !

Just got back from Glasgow and checked my inbox. That is when I tripped over Mohammed’s mail, firstly because it’s probably one of the few emails that was actually written with real words, avoiding the Text message lingo I usually get (ie : “wotU up 2 l8r bro ? fanC a \_/ @ Long’s bar? [...]

ITW / Airboy sits with Skydoll !

Today’s Cabin Crew in the hot seat is a very poised young mother with ambition. She works for a major carrier in the US and apparently likes her job so much she has to write about it on her time off (just like us really!). Heather is her civilian name. Skydoll is how she calls [...]

Stats Exposed.

Exposing website stats is usually very uncommon within the blogging world. Or in the entire web for that matter. Those are very sensible pieces of information that every webmaster/blog owner is keen to keep uber-private. Especially in a business driven environment. But for people like me statistics are a way of understanding where my readers [...]

ITW | ‘G’ to the ‘O’ to the ‘T’

Today’s interview involves an ex commercial Flight Attendant from Down Under (again !) now converted to Corporate travel. Or in your own words, she operates doors on private jets and serves execs/minted people. her nickname his GirlOnTour and she owns a blog too. We have no idea where she lives or who she works for [...]

ITW / The Pink Poodle has landed!

The Pink Poodle his her nickname. She was the first blogger we got to read in search of the whole Emirates hooha and still makes it to our Top 10 RSS feed chart. That is when she actually posts an entry. But man, when Lauren (her real name), takes it to the keyboard, you’re 100% [...]

ITW / The Flying Kiwi a.k.a. Mat

This is our second interview of a Cabin Crew based in Dub-Dub. And today we have a Kiwi blogger to ask questions to !! Mister is from New Zealand and has been working with Emirates long enough to analyze every single passenger profile within 3 seconds. He updates his blog with witty, well written and [...]

the good old days

I’ve just dug up the photo archives that have been hidden within the abysse of my hard-drive and found some pretty hilarious pictures. Before I started living the high life being a Cabin Crew for Emirates I used to work in the restaurant/bar industry in Paris. I started Geography at University after high-school but I [...]

ITW / Miss M, landlordess of Tampax Towers

If you’re a die hard fan of Airboy, you’ve probably read about Melissa and her adventures in the Sandpit through her blog TampaxTowers because we mentioned her quite a few times. We, at Airboy, discovered her ramblings way back when I was still serving those minted Americans at the Westin Hotel in Paris. It was [...]
