Come Fly with Me: Flying in Style

by Jodi Peckman

A wistful love letter to the joys of flying and the fun, fashion, and glamour that go with it.

Now, more than ever, nothing captures our yearning for travel, freedom, glamour, and adventure than the fantasy of flying away from it all.

From Frank Sinatra dressed to the nines in the golden age of Pan Am to celebrities snapped in luxury leisurewear in the lounges today, airports have always afforded the most glamorous glimpses into that most enviable aspect of celebrity life--jet-setting in style.

Curated by the renowned photo editor Jodi Peckman, Come Fly with Me is a love letter to the most longed-for escape, told through evocative images of the icons who've made the airport their runway. From John and Yoko waving from the airstairs to Rihanna bustling incognito through the halls, and from Muhammad Ali's crisp-pressed suits to Miley Cyrus's playful onesies, this is a whimsical and welcome reminder when we need it most of the joys of travel.

I wouldn't spend money on this (I borrowed it from the library), but it is really fun to flip through the photographs. There is a brief introduction and a few quotes; other than that it's full-page photos of celebrities in airports or boarding planes. Many of the photos are from the 70s. It's interesting to see the lack of body guards and compare the attitudes of the subjects at having their pictures taken.

The pictures in this book were very interesting to look at but I wished there had been more commentary or context for the pictures. I would have sacrificed some pictures in favor of some text about what I was seeing.

Love the concept and the range of artists. Love the photo collection.
