Diana Fairechild flew over 10 million miles
as an international chief purser for Pan Am.
She has been widely interviewed
including appearances on CNN, Dateline, Extra, Hard
Copy, and Good Morning America.
Diana testifies as an
expert witness in airline lawsuits. She
has authored more than 100 publications (on this site)
to help air travelers.
Diana has also authored
five books.
Her first, Jet Smart, was a bestseller that pushed Washington
to change its policies. Her second, NONI, has briskly
sold for 10 years. Her fourth, Office Yoga, was featured
on the front page of The Wall Street Journal.
Diana has been widely quoted
and her tips to mitigate the hassles and hazards of flying are now used by
travelers worldwide:
• How to get better air,
• What not to eat and drink
on board,
• How best to sleep on board,
• Which flights have the less radiation,
• How to cope with jetlag,
• How to protect children flying alone,
• And a whole lot more.
For the past
15 years, she has diligently answered mail from passengers (pax) and airline
employees, often turning her responses into articles
for the benefit of all.
Diana is now
developing a membership
of concerned travelers with a database
that will allow the flying community to easily communicate with each other.
From Diana: I lost my health because of the airline practice
of spraying pesticides inside airplane cabins—the toxic mist raining down
on my skin. I know without doubt that spraying
pesticide in occupied aircraft cabins is a violation of the human rights
of everyone who flies. My hope has always
been that through the information in my books, articles, and interviews, pax will
become informed, and this will help to reform all airline practices which
endanger the health and well being of pax and crew. This web site is entirely
in response to the comments and questions from my readers. Stay well.-Diana

| "Ms. Fairechild deals decisively with such thorny
(and in many cases previously undisclosed) in-flight environmental issues
as pesticide spraying (which she calls 'killer mists'), toxic chemicals,
radiation, ozone, bad air, noise, g-forces and electromagnetic pulses.
Ms. Fairechild has gathered a mountain of information during her 21 years
in the skies... and gives the reader her personal spin on each." -National
Law Journal |
| "Aviation expert and author Diana Fairechild explains
how recycled air on planes contributes to air rage and in spreading infectious
diseases like the flu and TB." -Art Bell, Coast to Coast
AM |
| "Fairechild has a bag of carry-on health tricks
larger than fits in the overhead compartment, all included in her book,
Jet Smarter." -American Bar Association Journal |
| "Diana Fairechild said that the mostly non-lethal
dangers of air travel amount to one of the great unexplored environmental
health issues of the day. Considering how many of us this affects, this
lone voice is well worth hearing." -John Bogert, Copley Newspapers |
| "Fairechild knows what she's talking about."
-The Times-Picayune |
| "Diana Fairechild likens air flight to childbirth.
In her simile the passenger is like the baby and the jet the womb which,
unlike mom's, fails to adequately sustain the well-being of its inhabitants."
