    A Minor Diversion

    What happens when a child is travelling alone and the plane diverts? When a flight diverts it causes a whole lot of chaos. People miss connections, miss events, or just get plain exhausted and angry. But what happens when a child is travelling alone on a flight - an unaccompanied minor. They can't just pack themselves off to a hotel and wait for the next flight to their destination!  They become the responsibility of the cabin crew. They have to care for them as if they are their own child.  So when a flight is diverted on route from Ghana to London due to snow, an unaccompanied minor is adopted by the crew and they try to give that little girl the best possible experience!

    Hello Sailor!

    Finding love when you're flying around the world sounds romantic! But it's often not... But as it's Valentine's week we thought we'd share with you the true story of how one ex cabin crew member found her dream man on a Caribbean trip. Because whilst a lot of the love life of a flight attendant is lonely nights in hotels and only meeting sleazy business men sat in First Class, there is sometimes the odd good love story out there. And this one involves a long layover in the Caribbean, and a ship full of Royal Navy boys....  So if you like to escape into a 30 minute beach read style audiobook story about love, and the life of a flight attendant - then this is for you!

    The Crew Room

    Major aviation incidents can floor a crew member. Whether that's an extended stay on your layover, or something as life changing as 9/11. These big events can completely change airline policies and safety regulations, and how flight attendants and pilots work. But some things never change, and that's the cabin crew's ability to make the best of a bad situation, and the call of The Crew Room is usually there to help the crew debrief, let loose and forget the big stuff, even for a short while. In today's episode of The Red Eye, we visit The Crew Room during several different major aviation events. And hear the true story of what really takes the strain on behalf of the crew...
