"Two women. Two flights. One last chance to disappear. Claire Cook has a perfect life. Married to the scion of a political dynasty, with a Manhattan townhouse and a staff of ten, her surroundings are elegant, her days flawlessly choreographed, and her future auspicious. But behind closed doors, nothing is quite as it seems. That perfect husband has a temper that burns as bright as his promising political career, and he's not above using his staff to track Claire's every move, making sure she's living up to his impossible standards. But what he doesn't know is that Claire has worked for months on a plan to vanish. A chance meeting in an airport bar brings her together with a woman whose circumstances seem equally dire. Together they make a last-minute decision to switch tickets--Claire taking Eva's flight to Oakland, and Eva traveling to Puerto Rico as Claire. They believe the swap will give each of them the head start they need to begin again somewhere far away. But when the flight to Puerto Rico goes down, Claire realizes it's no longer a head start but a new life. Cut off, out of options, with the news of her death about to explode in the media, Claire will assume Eva's identity, and along with it, the secrets Eva fought so hard to keep hidden."--Back cover

Claire is longing to escape her seemingly perfect life, but when her carefully constructed escape plan is sabotaged at the last minute, a new offer is presented. But what will switching her flight seat cost her?
As someone who (used) to spend a lot of my life on planes for work I loved the idea of The Last Flight/The Flight. It certainly is a great premise and developes into an interesting and twisty thriller. As two strangers, both trying to escape their lives meet at an airport and switch places we get a rollercoaster ride in both the past flashbacks and the present day action to keep the pace high. The book builds to a really nice crescendo and I really liked the ending - which was really well executed. The book deals with darker issues including domestic violence and drug dealing but I think it dealt with them well.
As someone who used to do a lot of flight travel for business I did find the idea of being able to switch identities and easily board another flight a bit of a stretch - even on domestic flights your ID is heavily scrutinised at multiple points before boarding the plane! I must also admit I did feel some of Eva's flashbacks did drag in the middle section of the book but her story overall is interesting. All small niggles though - this really is a good thriller with a fresh premise.
Overall The Flight is a great read with a good premise and I recommend it. Thank you to NetGalley & Hodder & Stoughton for the chance to read the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
