About The Secret Life of Flying

The Secret Life of Flying is part memoir and part guide to the skies from an NZ pilot. It’s a razor-sharp and first-class read for anyone who has ever wondered who’s really flying the plane…

How does a plane stay up in the air?
Does the Mile High Club actually exist?
When you flush the toilet, where does it all go?

Buckle up for some turbulence because nothing flies under the radar for Captain Jeremy Burfoot.

With more than 35 years of airline experience, the former Qantas pilot presents an Airbus-load of stories about unruly passengers and cockpit clashes, and expertly navigates the bizarre myths surrounding everyday air travel. He explains important details like why plane wings actually bend, which in-flight surfaces carry the most germs and how to make plane food taste better. The Secret Life of Flying is jam-packed with hilarity, horror stories and honest insights.
