    How Flight Attendants Balance Mom Life: Pregnancy, Parenting, & Flying with Kids

    05/05/2026 | 1h 9 mins.
    How do flight attendants balance raising a family with an unpredictable flying schedule? And what is it really like to work at 35,000 feet while pregnant? Our guest this week, Brittney, shares her firsthand experience as someone who’s living both lives — flight attendant and mom — and she’s not holding anything back!
    From working flights while pregnant (yes, it’s as intense as it sounds) to the reality of airline policies, she breaks down what actually happens behind-the-scenes and what most people don’t realize.
    We also get into the hot topic everyone has opinions on: kids on planes. After years of seeing it all as crew, her perspective has completely changed now that she’s a parent, and it might change yours too. Brittney shares some of her best travel tips for traveling with kids on planes.
    Plus, we talk about the emotional side of balancing this career with motherhood, the schedule chaos, the guilt, the support systems, and what it actually takes to make this lifestyle work with a kid at home.
    And of course, we lighten things up with “Carry-On or Check It?” (A new segment!) and “Crosschecked!”, our always popular lightning round to close it out.
    If you’ve ever flown with a kid, traveled while pregnant, or wondered how flight attendants manage a life outside the plane, this is one you don’t want to miss!

    Would You Rather? Aviation Edition!

    28/04/2026 | 43 mins.
    We’re switching things up and having some fun today—because honestly, sometimes you just need to laugh about the chaos that comes with this job. We’re diving into an aviation-themed game of “Would You Rather,” and let’s just say… some of these choices had us questioning everything from our travel habits to our sanity. From standby wins to airport meltdowns, we’re breaking down the realities of life in the sky in the most unfiltered way possible.
    Along the way, we’re talking about flying in bad weather, the people who text us like we control the airline, and the little travel quirks we’ve picked up over time. If you’ve ever wondered what flight attendants really think about turbulence, crying babies, or sprinting through the airport—this one’s for you. 
    Episode Highlights
    [0:47] We kick things off with why we love games and introduce our aviation edition of “Would You Rather”
    [2:12] We talk recent flying experiences, dodging storms, and why staying home during chaos feels so good
    [4:05] We vent about people texting us about flight delays like we run the airline
    [5:20] Window seat vs aisle life—and why we’re firmly aisle people
    [8:07] Good trip with a bad crew or bad trip with a good crew? Crew always wins
    [10:28] Turbulence vs crying babies—our answer might surprise you (or not)
    [12:43] Why flight attendants are actually terrible at packing
    [16:05] The magic (and chaos) of non-rev travel and clutch standby wins
    [18:16] Group travel vs solo travel—and how we completely changed our minds
    [21:19] Lost luggage vs constant delays… both are brutal, but one hurts more
    [28:35] That last-minute standby miracle leaving Thailand we’ll never forget
    [33:07] Bachelorette parties vs school groups—pick your chaos
    [35:49] Commute or move somewhere you hate? Easy choice for us
    [37:05] Living out of a suitcase forever… honestly, we already kind of do
