Hilarious! Laugh-out-loud funny - or should that be LOL?
The best way to enjoy this book is to let yourself go while reading it. This brand of humour is right up my street and I laughed throughout this one.
With as unpronounceable a name as Krishna Shastri Devulapalli, Rishi Piparaiya takes us through the whole air travel experience - from arriving at the airport to security checks to check-in to being seated in the plane to disembarking to travelling away from the airport to your destination - thanks to his own 1000 hour flying experience.

Every section is explained in his own witty style. Memorable moments include tips on how to upgrade to business class, and once there, on how to influence your fellow hapless business 'classers'.
He also appears to be very safety conscious, even though he says he has spent a huge chunk of his life travelling in planes. There is a howlarious description of how to gauge air safety with a water bottle, and how to prevent the pilots from exiting the cockpit during the flight.

He justifies his concerns with some extraordinary anecdotes of pilots, flight attendants and passengers - drunk pilots, abusive passengers and flight attendants, and, perhaps most memorably, an inexperienced co-pilot who pushed a lever while adjusting his cockpit seat and sent the plane plummeting down by 7000 ft.
I expected a few more anecdotes about bumping into celebrities - with Piparaiya's flying experience there should have been a cartload... err, business-class-load - but there is only one.
Reminds me of my own hapless adventure in movie-going.
Recommended for travellers and non-travellers - both on air and on the ground.
