Confessions of a Qantas Flight Attendant



In Confessions of a Qantas Flight Attendant – True Tales and Gossip from the Galley, Owen Beddall dishes the first-class dirt – he tells you the things you always wanted to know (and maybe a few things you didn’t) about the glamorous world of flying, including:

•           What really goes on behind that curtain…

•           The gay culture – “It was one of the only jobs in the world that was completely ‘gay friendly’.”

•           His most horrendous flight – Owen surprised his boyfriend by working his flight, only to be surprised himself when Toby walked on board with his wife!

•           His many mishaps, including breaking his jaw in London, being bitten by snake in
            Bangkok, and breaking his spine after a fall during training exercise.

•           Cabin crew adventures and misadventures in and out of that smart uniform in far flung places.

•           And, most importantly, lots of celebrity gossip. Katy Perry, Lily Allen, Kylie Minogue, Venus Williams and Cate Blanchett are all in the galley having a gossip with Owen.

Confessions of a Qantas Flight Attendant is a hilariously bumpy ride around the world with a very funny man. A light-hearted romp of a read!


Owen Beddall studied arts/law at the University of NSW then worked for the ‘flying kangaroo’ for 12 years, in both their domestic and international divisions, as a first-class flight attendant. He has travelled to over 40 countries on six continents. After suffering a workplace injury, Owen retired from Qantas in 2013. Currently, Owen is writing and working with charity Beyondblue. He has signed with an agency in New York and lives between Sydney and Grafton.
