Prepare for take-off and fasten your seatbelts for a first-class journey back to the Golden Age of air travel, with Kathy Compare and Stephanie Johnson, who were among the young and beautiful flight attendants For TWA, during the past mid-century.

They rekindle the glamour of mid-20th century as Trans-World Airlines flight attendants. We share personal tales, from unexpected celebrity encounters and passenger ploys for perks, to camaraderie and embarrassing incidents among the crew. These stories give us a peek into their high-flying lifestyle, and how air travel has transformed over the decades.

The two also reveal memories about a secret situation on a flight -- and a former President.
