FREQUENT FLYER SECRETS

The Air Travel Handbook is about flying as a passenger in commercial aviation. It is not a broad how-to and where-to travel book, it is specific to air travel. It is for the frequent flyer.

People who often travel by air are usually flying for business. They have unique requirements that rarely occur to the holiday traveler. Frequent flyers need quick, comfortable and reliable transportation. While the flights are taking them to their business, the time in the air is not part of the business.

To the business flyer, time is money. They need to get through the airport quickly, board the plane early, ride comfortably, save time by eating while flying, be able to use their computer or go through papers on the plane, get off the plane quickly, etc.
That is what the Air Travel Handbook is about.

Occasional flyers will find this book fascinating; frequent flyers will find it essential. Both will find it fun.

When Lyndon Baines Johnson wanted to go somewhere, there was no stopping him. This dynamic president called for Air Force One as others summon a taxi--at a moment's notice, whatever the hour or the weather. And the man who made sure that LBJ got his ride was General James U. Cross, the president's hand-picked pilot, top military assistant, and personal confidante. One of the few Air Force One pilots to have a position, simultaneously, in the White House, General Cross is also the only member of LBJ's inner circle who has not publicly offered his recollections of the president. In this book, he goes on the record, creating a fascinating, behind-the-scenes portrait of America's complex, often contradictory, always larger-than-life thirty-sixth president. General Cross tells an engrossing story. In addition to piloting Air Force One around the globe, he served President Johnson in multiple capacities, including directing the Military Office in the White House; managing a secret two-million-dollar presidential emergency fund; supervising the presidential retreat at Camp David, the president's entire transportation fleet, and the presidential bomb shelters; running the White House Mess; hiring White House social aides, including the president's future son-in-law, Charles Robb; and writing condolence letters to the families of soldiers killed in Vietnam. This wide-ranging, around-the-clock access to President Johnson allowed Cross to witness events and share moments that add color and depth to our understanding of America's arguably most demanding and unpredictable president.
