"The solutions come with an abundance of tongue-in-cheek humor...his sharp critiques will leave readers familiar with air travel chuckling."
"Blewett's debut offers more than just simple consolation for travel woes; nearly every chapter features stories from Blewett's own life that illustrate the twists and turns of his path to success."
