First Class Fool

Boarding Pass to Mild Panic

by Steve Barker

Travel Smart, Laugh Often, Panic Responsibly

First Class Fool is a comic-practical survival guide for solo travellers who want to get through airports, airlines, layovers and long-haul flights with less panic and more confidence.

Written for ordinary passengers rather than aviation experts, it tackles the realities of modern air travel with sharp British humour and genuinely useful advice.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Compare fares without falling for hidden extras
  • Decode baggage rules, check-in and seat fees
  • Prepare documents, chargers and hand luggage properly
  • Survive security, boarding and economy seating with your dignity intact
  • Handle delays, connections and lost luggage without losing your mind

This is not a book about making flying glamorous. It is about making flying survivable, calmer and occasionally even enjoyable. If you distrust airline apps, hate airport faff and would like to reach your destination with your luggage, patience and phone battery still intact, this guide is for you.
