How does love feel at 40,000 feet in the air?

We humans have dreams, some of them are deep in our hearts and maybe have a meaning from our childhood or sometimes maybe no meaning at all and we always want to try something new. One of these widespread dreams is a love bond for certain professional groups, because it may highlight the special nature of feminine or masculine feelings, and nature has given us this from birth on as an instinct to deal with it. Who knows the truth..

And one of these dreams has always been to get a date from a stewardess for a man or from a pilot for a woman. Our story is one of those dreams that I actually once experienced.

If you have traveled as often as I have in my life and flown to 83 other countries with more than 70 different airlines, you will eventually feel like a crew member and the airports becoming slowly your home.

Then, of course, the chance is higher that you can speak with the crew members about much more different things than just the service.

When I think back (I can not remember all of them), I had two solid relationships with stewardesses in the past and five short dates.

Here I’ll tell you a funny case.

It was a stewardess in a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Hong Kong. And because I’ve always had a weak spot for Asian women, sorry :), especially the thin ones with long hair and those irresistible eyes, haha, I could not hold myself back in this flight. (Forgive me, I was young).

She was..

..not looking like her on the picture, because she was 10 times more beautiful :)

Anyway, the main problem on the plane and stewardesses is, “You have very little time to talk or react, in most cases you’ll never see them again after a couple of hours, so just a single chance in a span of few minutes !”

Within seconds, I then thought of something.

When my turn was in service (both seats next to me were free luckily), I ordered a coffee..

When she did not look at my hand, I poured the coffee on my beige trouser and screamed as if I was being burned.

She was in such a panic and looked around and thousands of times within seconds:

“Sorry sir, I’m sorry ..”

I immediately got up and went to the bathroom to clean my trouser. She stood near the door to see if everything was alright. Then when I came out, there was this conversation:

She: I’m sorry sir.

Me: It’s okey.

She: You can file a complaint at the airport for a refund.

Me: No, that would not be good for you.

She: It’s okay they do not say anything, stuff like that happens very often.

Me: The problem is, even if I get a refund, it does not help me because I have one of the most important appointments in my life in an hour after landing and that’s my only trouser.

She: I’m so sorry, can I anyhow help? Is it a business appointment?

Me: No, more important. An appointment with the most beautiful woman in the world.

She: Oh my God, a marriage proposal?

Me: Who knows, maybe too.

She: I’ll buy you a trouser from the airport, don’t worry, it’ll be quick. Is that a long distance relationship ? Do she lives in Hong Kong?

Me: When she has time outside of her flights, I guess so.

She: What, oh God, she is a stewardess too? Which airline, the same, maybe I know her?

Me: Same airline, yes..

Flight number XYZ123 (gave her our flight number)

She smiled first..

..then a few seconds later noticed and

with a curious and suspicious voice:

Her name?

Me: I don’t know, wait, I’ll tell you right away.

That’s when I came closer to her and read her name tag.

She started to laugh out loud..

Me: Just to have a coffee with you, I burned myself, did I earn a coffee out with you now?

..with a red and smiling face she said then:

‘’I’ve seen a lot of crazy things so far while flirting, but no one has burned himself for me until now’’ (laughs)

Me: And, yes or no?

She: Before you even set the plane on fire, yes, but I only have 8 hours here.

Me: 8 hours with you is like an eternity in the land of the angels.

Both laughed..

We had some very nice hours in Hong Kong..

And for all naughty guys out there :) nothing like that happened, it was just about a valuable time with a beautiful and nice person. We came around, had coffee and some warm kisses, that’s it.

It was a warm memory when we were all still in the air, which unfortunately has not been possible for months and we have all hysterically trapped because of a virus. We actually see only now, how valuable many small details in our lives are that we used to complain about so often, which also includes flying, means our freedom.

And I hope a lot of love for all of mankind again after we have defeated this corona virus and remember this warm story the next time you can fly after the crisis for the first time. But don’t try the same, it was just a crazy act when I was young.

Be kind to all the women in this world.. They deserve it !

Thanks.
