When a 20 year old college student stumbles on her way to marriage, she finds solace in a new life of travel and intrigue. In 1969. with the Viet Nam raging and the youth of America on fire, Dianna runs away from the pain of rejection and the embarrassment of an engagement gone wrong. As she searches for meaning, two strangers steer her into the arms of Trans World Airlines and the "Jet Set" age of travel. With each new assignment, especially on the Boeing 747, she soon forgets about the life she left behind. Open eyed, yet naive, she earns her wings as she maneuvers through the new and exciting minefields of international travel.

Industry Reviews

Praise for Jumpseat

"Jumpseat is a true story romp of a coming-of-age TWA 'air hostess' who was a witness to the rise and fall of a great airline. This is not just a history lesson in an exciting era of the airline industry. This is a bright and breezy charmer that illustrates the true glamour of the trials and tribulations of the 70's flight attendants." Mary Soderstrum Aviation Planner

"I had forgotten how fun flying could be until I read Jumpseat. The humor and seriousness mixed into history made each chapter better than the last. Kudos to the author for sharing her story in a most enjoyable way." Detective Mark Meyer (ret) Overland Park Police

"Jumpseat is far more riveting than I ever could have imagined. As an avid reader, this was one of those books that held my attention from chapter to chapter. You will not be disappointed. I simply cannot wait to read her next book." John Mays, TWA Museum Volunteer

"Jumpseat by Dianna Bennett sets the stage for the golden age of travel in 1970. With the addition of the exciting Boeing 747, her vivid descriptions and historical ties made me long for the opportunity to experience those magical moments in time. Each new chapter gave me pause to compare how differently we travel today. I am sure you will enjoy your journey as I did. Great book! " Captain Dan R
