Baby B'Air Flight Vest Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you can't afford to buy your baby a seat... which I would highly recommend, this will comfort you to know your child won't fly through the cabin due to turbulence. I spent about 8 hours each way when my babe was 4 months old and I can tell you, it was difficult. I really wished she could be strapped into her carseat next to me, not just for safety, but for my own sanity. I couldn't really sleep at all with her in my lap.
But as for the product, it's really well made. I was able to breastfeed with it on (not easily, but able), and the flight crew never bothered me about it once (it's not FAA approved during takeoff and landing but I used it anyway). Don't be like some numbskulls I've met and even think about strapping your baby into your seatbelt along with you. Think of all your body weight being pressed against your little one.
I liked it. But if you can, buy a seat and use your carseat.

The Baby B'Air Flight Vest® is the ONLY SAFETY SOLUTION for LAP HELD BABIES who fly. The award winning design secures your child to your lap belt to protect your baby against the unexpected dangers of turbulence and to keep your child safely on your lap during flight. Baby B'Air is worn by the infant like a vest. It is placed over the child's head, and secured by adjustable straps on both sides under the baby's arms. The third strap comes from behind, between the baby's legs, and buckles to the front with another adjustable strap. The excess straps Velcro neatly to the vest so that there are no loose straps. The Baby B'Air can be worn as any other garment would since it is constructed of 100% cotton and comfortable to wear. After take-off, the parent feeds their seat belt through the loop on the back of the Baby B'Air, refastens the seat belt and tightens the seat belt. Your infant can now be held, fed and even changed while both parent and child remain securely fastened in their seat. The parent can read, eat or even nap knowing their baby cannot fall or pull from their loving arms. The FAA requires children over 2 to have their own seat. Fits most children from 6 months to 2 years. Neck opening is not adjustable. Large fits child up to 40 lbs with head measuring from 16 to 20 inches around.

My First Airplane Ride Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My daughter loves this book! We got it from the library before we took a trip, and it details the steps involved with an airplane trip very easily (checking in, security check, waiting at the gate, LOUD take-off...ect). Each page has a simple rhyming sentence or two and adorable pictures. We've read it so many times my daughter "reads" it to herself all the time now. We purchased it so we can pull it out before any future trips to help her remember what's involved with air travel.

The Smile-High Club: Outrageous but True Air Travel Stories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love to laugh, and after a serious day, this book was the perfect remedy. I was crying from laughing so hard at several different times in the book. It's a fabulous book, and it doesn't matter if you love to fly (as I do), or if you detest the experience. I think you'll enjoy this book.

More than 18 million flights a year carry more than one billion passengers for business and for pleasure.This, of course, leads to increased opportunities for humor in the skies.Consider the pilot whose skills were questioned after a ride ended roughly:After a particularly hard landing in Tampa, the U.S. Airways pilot apologized over the public address system to the passengers.The crew stood at the door to say good-bye to the passengers as they deplaned.The pilot felt so bad about the landing, he couldn't look anyone in the eye.None of the passengers said anything derogatory until a sweet little lady walking with the help of a cane approached him."Sonny," she said right in his face."Did we land...or were we shot down?"Author Allan Zullo has produced some of the world's most notoriously funny books, filled with astonishing-but-true stories.With coauthor Kathy Nelson, Zullo's latest entrant captures some of flying's best moments, from the Northwest captain who had pizza delivered to a plane stuck on the tarmac to the Delta flight engineer who fell out the back exit of a taxiing jet."Hey, thanks for waiting for me!" he told the pilot who slowed to pick him up. "No problem," answered the captain."I like you."From start to finish, The Smile-High Club will keep readers laughing at some of aviation's most amazing antics.

Flying Without Fear Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book has been instrumental in my battle against fear of flying. I've owned the book for almost a year (through six flights), and it has helped me to confront my biggest fears.
The first part of the book helps you to understand the physiology of fear. Usually I tend to skim over sections like this, but I found the information in this case to be quite helpful because it helps you to understand how your fear has developed and that there are different types of fears with regard to flying. For example, I may be afraid of heights whereas another person may be clastrophobic, so you have to treat these fears individually. There is also a checklist in this section to help you identify your specific areas of fear.
Then the author moves on to several sections that help you develop "a valid information base." For me, these sections were key. I have gone through these time and time again, underlining and memorizing bits of information. Most of this information is in a question and answer format, so it is easy to skim until you find the questions that interest you most. The sections address everything you could possibly want to know: The Airline Industry, Pilots and Training, Personnel Other Than Pilots, Questions about Pilots, Aerodynamics, Flight Planning and the Flight Itself, Weather, Turbulence, Terrorism and Bombs, and Miscellaneous Questions. My favorite statistics are that the death rate risk per flight is one in eleven million and that air travel is 20 times safer than by car. The remainder of the book discusses coping strategies and information about developing your own flight plan.
If you are debating about whether to buying a book which addresses your fears, I would definitely encourage you to do so. I remember when I first looked for a book and wasn't sure if I really needed one or which one to get. After doing some research, I settled on this book, and it's been a great investment in peace of mind. It's well organized, clearly presented, and full of reassuring information. So go ahead, don't let unrealistic fears limit your experiences in life...fight back!

The Mile High Club: Plane Sex Stories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)With a name like "The Mile High Club," should I expect notes on a song by Bow Wow Wow or a Liz Phair video? Knowing it's an anthology of erotic short stories, I have a few ideas: sexy stewardesses in skintight skirts, proud pilots with prodigious... pants. Of course, I could be wrong.
The anthology edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel is more than pilots and stewardesses, although they do feature in a few stories. Most of the stories involve passengers. Lavatory trysts, alluded to on the cover of the book, are pretty common, though the authors get pretty inventive. Another common method for sex in the sky involves passengers seated next to each other while covered by a common blanket. However, these illicit affairs are unneeded in a couple of stories, such as "Flights of Fancy", which features an airline devoted to sex, and "Get On, Get Off" which introduces the idea of Masturbation Class.
Getting away from the airlines, we are presented with "Bermuda Triangle" which features a female flight instructor and two male students who do everything she says. "Wing Walker" takes the idea of sex in flight to a new level, when a couple engages in activities on the top wing of a biplane. One story, "Planes, Trains, and Banana Seat Bicycles," doesn't involve sex in the skies. While it is a great story, it seems a bit out of place in this book.
All of the stories are good or great. Although they only averaged about 10 - 12 pages each, these nineteen sexy short stories only scratched the surface of the Mile High Club concept. I hope to see follow-up anthologies, because I think there is a lot of uncharted territory in this area. Maybe in the future we can read stories with helicopters. Flying boats. Dirigibles!

In these steamy stories, readers encounter seductions by strangers, naughty flight attendants and perverted pilots, a screen star who’s hot-to-trot, a female flying instructor who takes two male students under her wing, and a couple who take advantage of the latest in in-flight technology.

Roche, Elizabeth Coldwell, Jeremy Edwards, and others, these authors go way beyond the crowded airplane bathroom to show just how many ways there are to get it on while onboard.

Cockpit Confessions of an Airline Pilot Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)What a disappointment. What a waste of money. The title sounds good, there is the promise of going along in the cockpit of a heavy jet around the world -- but this book is mostly a waste of time. The grammar, the organization, the presentation, the jumping from one unrelated topic to another, the introduction of characters and situations that then are never heard of again are all annoying and distracting. And it all ends with weird TWA 800 missile conspiracy stuff. Er what?
This is really just another personal website that would be OK reading for free, but is not deserving of a place on a bookshelf. Keshner never really talks about the actual flying, and while there are some sorta neat stories in the book, and I'd love to hear them at an airport bar, I was left feeling cheated out of my money. I'd pass on this book, and move on to great flying books by Gann, Bach, Drury, Morgan and many more.
Read all the reviews, not just the 'best book ever' ones from 'a reader'

Peek behind the cockpit door and see who is flying the plane. Where do they find such men?Irreverent realism, full of loves, laughs and tremors; their layovers and prayovers. Much more than a pilot with a few good stories.
