I'm female. 22 years old, it's not that hard. We don't have such security measures as US carriers...

Most of what I really like about flying goes on inside the First Class cabin...



Service on this eight hour flight from Melbourne to Singapore commences with red wine, canapes and the menu



Caviar and Johnny Walker Blue Label over Madagasgar



Luncheon is served aboard British Airways high over the North Atlantic



Berry Lasagna closes out a delicious dinner on BA between Phoenix and London



Ah... The only way to fly...



Suite dreams while speeding along at 615 mph over the Indian Ocean



Breakfast is served 38000' over Mozambique

But I do indeed enjoy the view out the windows as well...



Alaska's coastline as seen 4 hours into a flight between LAX and Hong Kong



Banking away from Oahu on a United DC-8-71



Sunset over the Sea of Java



Mid-Afternoon, high above the Pacific between Santiago and Mexico City



Banking into the final approach to SeaTac over downtown Seattle



Flying into the sunset from Darwin to Singapore
