The Red Eye

We all have that one celebrity crush that we've had since we were young, and if you ever got the chance to meet them then you may just melt on the spot! When the donor for this story got to meet their idol, when they were cabin crew in the first class cabin and they stepped onboard as a passenger, it went much better, and much worse than they ever expected!Music Credits for A Saucy PropositionRunning It Down - Everet AlmondSoul Food - Chris HaugenSound Effect by Otto from PixabaySound Effects by freesound_community from PixabaySound Design by Ally MurphySend us a text!

Cabin crew know that, when they do this job, you're going to be away for the big events. Holidays, Birthdays, Weddings. But they also try and make the most of the times they are away.Today's episode is one of my own stories. About the Christmas I spent in Johannesburg. I was sad when I heard I was flying over Christmas, and that it was a short layover in a place that didn't feel very Christmassy. Then I tried to make the most of it and found an orphanage near Johannesburg that was in need of some Christmas cheer. This trip changed my perspective on life forever, and I hope it will give you something to think about over this time of merriment and excess.If you'd like to find out more, and support The Winnie Mabaso Foundation, visit https://www.winniemabaso.org/Send us a text!

Her debut novel, In Search of the Missing Eyelash, was published by Jonathan Cape and won the Betty Trask Award. Published in 2007 (and reissued this year) she wrote this during layovers in hotel rooms whilst travelling the globe as long-haul cabin crew for British Airways.Coming full circle, her recent memoir, Lifting Off, is about the years she worked as cabin crew and offers a fascinating insight into the profound impact of long-haul life.
