Sex in the Air (SIA): The Wild Adventure of an Air Stewardess

A Fictional Memoir Inspired by True Events

By Jade Leong

Behind the perfect smile and polished uniform lies a world you were never meant to see.

From a quiet kampong in Malaysia to luxury hotels, haunted layovers, private jets, and painful secrets at 35,000 feet, Sex in the Air (SIA) is a raw and intimate fictional memoir inspired by true events. Told through 20 confessional short stories, this bold narrative peels back the curtain on the life of a young Chinese Malaysian air stewardess who chased her dreams into the sky—and found both freedom and heartbreak along the way.

She survives turbulence not just in the air, but in her soul—flirting passengers, whispered affairs, mental breakdowns, unspoken rules, and the quiet ache of loneliness dressed up as glamour.

This is not a story about flying.

This is a story about falling, rising, and learning to carry yourself with grace even when the sky forgets to be kind.

If you’ve ever dreamed of escape, chased adventure, or wondered what really happens behind the curtain of a plane—this book will stay with you long after landing.
