Flight attendants share their most memorable travel experiences

Even if we do want to look our best when we arrive in a foreign destination or head home for a visit, it's never a great idea to travel in our best outfits. Business travelers may have no choice if they have to get directly to a conference room, but for the rest of us, we should embrace the opportunity to wear hoodies and yoga pants to our heart's content.

Anyone who has ever had to run in heels to make that final boarding call will probably never make that mistake again, and there's no more unpleasant feeling than carrying heavy bags and sweating through a nice shirt and jacket. Plus, who are we trying to impress? Everyone is too exhausted to notice our drip anyway.

Unless they're flying private, and it's true that many of them are, even the biggest stars have to go through security at the airport. It's never an enjoyable experience for anyone to go through those endless lines and scanners, taking off our belts and watches, and parting with our cellphones and computers. But imagine being a celebrity, with the whole world watching and snapping photos as your sweat your way through an airport experience.

And at some point, everyone is selected for a random search. For better or for worse, those are the rules. It's always uncomfortable for anyone involved but at least there aren't photos of all of us getting a serious patdown and awkwardly making our way to the gate while struggling to buckle our belt properly.
