Inhaltsangabe

'A ruthlessly honest and funny observer' New York Times

'Should be required reading' Los Angeles Times

What does it mean to be a joyous traveller when we live in the ruins of colonialism? The conditions of travel have long been dictated by the colours of passports and the colour of skin. For Shahnaz Habib, travel and travel writing have always been complicated pleasures.

In Airplane Mode, Habib threads the history of travel through her childhood stories of family vacations in India, as an adult curious about the world and as an immigrant for whom round-trips are an annual fact of life.
