Informazioni sull?autore

Imogen Edwards-Jones is the co-author of the Sunday Times bestseller Hotel Babylon, as well the author of the novels My Canapé Hell, Shagpile, The Wendy House and Tuscany for Beginners. A seasoned traveller, she is well versed in the joys and otherwise of air travel.

Anonymous is a collection of airline staff, front of house as well as behind the scenes, whose identities must remain secret in order to protect the guilty.

Dal risvolto di copertina interno

Heard the one about the airline that has introduced 'corpse cupboards' on new planes to cope with people who die in the air? Or the story about the First Class air hostess who got fired for sitting on the face of a passenger during a long-haul flight? Heard about the amount of knickers and false teeth that are left on the plane? How pissed-off stewards put laxatives in your drinks? Heard about the pilot who ran out of runway? Or the disabled passengers who miraculously walk again?

No? Then you haven't read Air Babylon.

Do you know the best place to have sex on a plane? How to dress for an upgrade? Do you know that one drink in the air equals three on the ground? Do you know who is checking you in? Who is checking you out? Do you know exactly what happens to your luggage once it leaves your sight? Is it secure? Are you safe? Do you really know anything about the business that you entrust your life to several times a year?

Air Babylon is a trawl through the highs, the lows and the rapid descents of the travel industry. It catalogues the births, the deaths, the drunken brawls, the sexual antics, and the debauchery behind the scenes of the ultimate service industry - where the world is divided into those who wear the uniform and those who don't . . .
