Solving life's big problems requires the duration of a commercial flight. High in the air, stewardess Dagmar Croner (Johanna von Koczian) addresses the concerns of her passengers and colleagues and saves marriages, tracks down misdirected luggage, assists at a birth and helps a child of divorce to decide between father and mother. In between, she still has time to pass a test that will make her cabin boss. The passengers, but also the on-board staff, change from episode to episode. Monika Schloss (Isolde Miler), Alice Petaud (Evelyn Gressmann), Ilse Flemming (Monika Berg), Maria Gandlberger (Barbara Schöne) and Yukiko (Francisca Tu) appear several times. Herbert Tiede and Peter Carsten each played a flight captain in two episodes, but a different one each time.
