I've worked on the Anglesey to Cardiff flight since it began in May 2007. It's my first job as cabin crew since leaving college.

I mostly trained on a 737, but I love flying on this small plane because you get to know all your regular passengers and have a laugh with them. The plane is so small that even if people don't know each other before setting off, many do get chatting and even arrange to share a taxi when we land.

It's mainly business people using the plane, though people do come for pleasure, like groups of OAPs coming down to Cardiff for the first time in years.

We had a lady from Anglesey onboard celebrating her 90th birthday. She'd never flown before, so her daughter asked me to present her with a cake and we all sang Happy Birthday.

We also had a mother with five children one day, so I had all the children sitting round me. They'd never flown before either so I took them up to see the pilots in the cockpit. Their mother was delighted because it got them out of her hair for a bit while she looked after the baby.

We're always packed when there's a football or rugby game on in Cardiff and recently a group of rugby supporters chartered the plane for a weekend to go to the World Cup final.

As we only fly from Monday to Friday you can charter the aircraft and crew on the weekends and the pilots loved it because they got to stay in a five star hotel in Paris! The Super Furry Animals have also chartered the plane.

Legally, you don't need cabin crew for a plane carrying less than 20, and we've only got 19 seats, but the government said they do want crew on this flight. They said there was no need for refreshments, but we argued we'd only be sitting there doing nothing during the flight, so we may as well do something! It's a bit small to prepare the tea and coffee, but you soon learn to juggle it around.

The pilots have been surprised about how good the weather's been so far. They thought it might be a lot bumpier, but we've only had one or two really bumpy journeys so far. We're flying at night now it's winter, which is quite nice because you get to see all of Cardiff lit up beneath you when it's clear.

We sometimes leave early if everyone's checked in. There's no need to wait because we don't have to share the runway with anyone apart from the RAF.

As we're taxi-ing around you sometimes see all the Hawks and fighter jets ready to take off. The RAF men come over to have a look at our plane because they've never seen a small propeller aircraft before. Samantha Rogers
