We say hello to flight attendants every time we hop on a plane; but do we really know what goes on behind the galley curtain? Since 2026, flight attendant and blogger Sara Keagle has been offering a behind-the-scenes look into her profession on her popular blog, theflyingpinto.com. And she has now turned to ebooks to combine this oddly fascinating content with her 20 years' experience in The Flying Pinto's Flight Attendant Survival Guide, a humorous and canny ebook now available on Vook's store.

It's another great example of bloggers turned digital publishers. With a dedicated readership, years of blog posts, and a penchant for giving her audience what they want, Sara has easily reached a new altitude in digital publishing. As she says it, "When I started writing my blog, this book just started creating itself."

Vook asked her some questions about her epublishing journey as well as those flight-attendant details we're dying to know.

The content on your blog is great in and of itself. So why did you decide to publish an ebook?
I started my career as a flight attendant twenty years ago and it's really just something I fell into. I feel extremely grateful to have discovered such an amazing job at a young age. When I started writing my blog, this book just started creating itself in my mind. It's information I truly wished I had when I started flying. I'm excited to help those just starting in the airline industry and entertain those interested in it.

What content do you think is the most valuable for flight attendants (or aspiring flight attendants)?
Truly the entire book! I tried to create content that isn't readily available. There are loads of guides on how to become a flight attendant, but nothing that really explained how to navigate as a new-hire flight attendant. I offer loads of great advice not only from my personal experiences, but from my colleagues as well.

What is one thing most people don't know about the job or industry?
I don't think people are aware of the flexibility the career of a flight attendant affords you. For most people, if you're in what we airline folk refer to as a "real job," there's not much left over to explore who you really are. I think very few are lucky enough to discover and make a living at what they consider to be their passion in life. As a flight attendant you not only get to travel and meet people from all different cultures, but just as important you have time. Yes, the first few years are usually spent at the mercy of scheduling as a reserve (or as an "on call") flight attendant, but after that, you are free to create the schedule that works for your lifestyle. Having as many days off or on as you like. The freedom to have a life outside of work is incredible.
