Elaine Clark, friend of Celebsonholiday, found herself booked on a CelebAir flight to Portugal earlier this week - here's what she had to say about the experience:
Arriving at Gatwick South Terminal, I discovered to my surprise that I was booked on a CelebAir flight. There at the check in desk was the glamorous Tamara Beckwith checking in passengers as they were being filmed by the ITV2 camera crew.As I boarded the plane I was welcomed with a big smile from Chico who checked my boarding pass and directed me to my seat. Row 35A proved to be a lucky number as the crew was filming from the back of the plane forwards.
Following take off I couldn't quite take Chico seriously with his big grin on his face explaining the safety procedures, but was assured that all the Celebs had had three weeks intensive training by Monarch.

Lisa Maffia & Chico served tea, coffee and light refreshments. I had to remind Chico to give me my £1.50 change for my bacon sandwich, whilst Lisa struggled with the credit card machine for another customer. All in all it was a very relaxed flight and they did a great job.
About 15 mins into the flight two guys stood up and took their rucksacs from the overhead locker and disappeared into the toilets. Twenty-five minutes later they came out of the toilets dressed in gold & cerise sequinned dresses, blonde wigs & full make-up... the works, right down to the false eye lashes!
Chico, Lisa and the whole flight were in hysterics whilst the two of them then entertained all the passengers and gave Chico & Lisa a run for their money.
All in all Lisa & Chico did a great job and proved service with a smile goes a long way.
