Synopsis

THE CAPTIVATING TRUE STORY OF ADVENTURE, THE GOLDEN AGE OF AIR TRAVEL AND THE WOMEN WHO HELPED DEFINED IT

“A true story romp of a coming-of-age TWA air hostess who was witness to the rise and fall of a great airline” Mary Soderstrum Aviation Planner

“Sets the stage for the golden age of travel in 1970” Captain Dan R

In 1969, with the Vietnam War raging and a generation in upheaval, 20-year-old Dianna is reeling from a broken engagement and searching for a way forward. When a chance encounter leads her to Trans World Airlines, she leaves behind small-town heartbreak for the glamorous—and often chaotic—world of international travel.

As a fresh-faced TWA air hostess during the dawn of the jumbo jet, the Boeing 747, Dianna finds herself swept up in a whirlwind of exotic destinations, unexpected friendships, and personal discovery. With wide-eyed wonder and unshakable grit, she navigates the highs and lows of life at 35,000 feet—all while witnessing the rise and fall of one of the most iconic airlines in history.
A poignant, funny, and inspiring coming-of-age memoir, Jumpseat is a first-class ticket to the heart of the Jet Age—told through the eyes of a young woman learning to fly on her own terms.
