Farewell to the sky of a former Vietnam Airlines flight attendant

'Farewell to the Sky' is the story of Dinh Le Huong, a former flight attendant of Vietnam Airlines, about the recruitment process, studying, 'flying' to strange lands as beautiful as dreams and also the not-so-dreamy trips.

Amidst the shimmering cabin lights and the suitcases in the waiting room, there are unfinished dreams, silent sacrifices and the unnameable career shock of a former flight attendant.

The book The farewell to the sky is like a half-opened door, allowing outsiders to look inside the world of a young girl who chose the sky as her home for many years of her youth, and then she bravely closed that door when her heart spoke.

What do I have to learn to be a flight attendant?

Starting with the book chapter The Turn of a Student in a Specialized School , the author chooses an unexpected turn to become a flight attendant.

A decision that made her go against the expectations of her family, friends and even herself. But that opened up a completely different life for her: unscripted, uncharted, but full of color.

With the chapters What do you have to learn to be a flight attendant?, Living in the Flight Attendant Corps and things no school can teach you!, Flight attendants and the eternal 'rumors' , the author leads readers into the professional world where every action must be precise down to the second, down to the centimeter. There is no room for mistakes, nor room for prolonged weakness.

Along with the "technical" side of the profession, the chapters Seoul - First Love, And Paris, Where My Love Sings, The Ugly Duckling Story reveal the very romantic, "soft" side of the flight attendant profession.

At the end of Little Stories , the author writes about touching situations that happened on the flight of passengers and flight crew that she accidentally witnessed or heard about.

The book does not follow a dry timeline, but flows with emotions, sometimes bursting like when the author arrived in Saigon, the place where he took flight and also said goodbye to his career, sometimes quiet like a whisper at the final station.

Farewell to the Sky is a gentle but not weak farewell when Dinh Le Huong wrote not to share regret but to express gratitude for a profession that taught her to grow up.

The moment I love most in my flying life is when the plane is about to land after a long trip. All around me are happy faces, some are about to reunite with their loved ones after many days apart, some are facing a new job opportunity. And I am about to go home...
