The Flight Attendant is a novel by Chris Bohjalian, published on March 13, 2018, by Doubleday.

Flight attendant Cassandra Bowden wakes up with a hangover in a hotel room in Dubai to find a dead body next to her.

She is met in New York by FBI agents who question her about her recent layover in Dubai.

[1] Writing for The Washington Post, Maureen Corrigan described the novel as "the ultimate airplane book, and not just because of its name: entertaining and filled with inside info on the less glamorous aspect of flight crew's lives, it may even make you more politely attentive the next time you're asked to listen to that in-flight lecture on emergency water landings.

"[2] In October 2017, it was announced that Kaley Cuoco's production company, Yes, Norman Productions, had optioned the rights to the book to be developed into a limited television series with the same name, The Flight Attendant, starring Cuoco, who was also an executive producer.
