An Airline Pilot's Entire Routine, from Waking Up to Flying | Work It | Allure

Regional airline pilot Sara Maika takes us through 24 hours of her beauty and wellness routine. Just how does an airline pilot get ready for a day where she's flying? Sara breaks down everything she does in her day, from her makeup and skincare routines to her daily workouts. Sara flies 3 legs (or flights) in a day, and her days can start as early as 5AM.

It's so refreshing to see people who do something different and not in show business

[Saramaikat]

Thank you so much Allure for having me ❤️💘 it was a pleasure! ☺️ ps: YouTube videos coming soon

[oh.themoon]

This is such a great segment. Asking a non-celeb to show their day-to-day routine. Hopefully you can do more of this in the future.

I actually saw her in person during a layover in LAX without even knowing who she was. I just remember her smiling at passengers leaving and me thinking how beautiful and radiant she looked.

[Francesca-ovtb]

I don’t wanna be obvious but she’s one of the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Her eyebrows, her freckles, her skin, her eyes … amazing !

[sanicalouiselee]

I'm so happy young girls will be able to see (all the more) that you can both care about your body and appearance and pursue a male-dominated field at the same time! More of this please!

[idoncare]

I love her energy! Very refreshing to see someone with more relatability but also inspiring. Her drive & humility makes me want to finish school & be happy 💛

[alexissalazarr]

Big points to you guys for doing a segment with someone who has an awesome job that is not at all related to an obnoxious internet presence! I enjoyed the tip about the fake freckles. Also please pleeeease link the tool she used after the dyson airwrap. Thanks!

[xYummyBieber]

More videos like this instead of social media influencers please! People like this are so inspiring to young women

I am a ramp agent for an airline, and I am very familiar with the EMB 175…! Thank you for everything that you do, Sara! Hope to see you at SBA!

[kendallmkent]

I continue to be obsessed with this series and the women they feature.

[Maria-kgnh]

I'm not sure of the stats, but nice to see a younger person and a woman in aviation highlighted. Relatable and nice video. God's Love and Blessings!!!

Awesome story. Good to see good people in charge of so many lives on board.

[deborastfleurose]

Being a Pilot looks like so much fun, God bless her!! 🛫✈️
