As a young girl, I had often watched in amazement at the beautiful airhostesses as they walked through airports and brought me food (and sometimes toys) on a flight. I thought it was the best job in the world — to be able to travel all around the world. On Thursday, I got to experience the nitty gritty nuances of being an airhostess, albeit virtually.
