A stunning Ryanair pilot has taken the internet by storm after showing off her amazing lifestyle on Instagram.

"I have been told that I'm not your average pilot but I love my job and the places it takes me," Michelle said.

"The amazing locations I get to visit are just a bonus."

But despite Michelle's picturesque snaps of her catching rays from around the world, she claims she enjoys the flights more than the holidays.

"I began my first aviation training at 19 years old and after landing a job with Ryanair, I haven't looked back since."

The blonde beauty – who isn't your stereotypical pilot – says she has an underlying passion for aviation.

"People think from looking at my Instagram that I'm on holiday all time but it's not all about lying on beaches," she said.

"Flying a passenger jet is hard work and takes a lot of concentration, after all, you have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders."

Michelle rose to fame on YouTube when she uploaded a video of her first solo flight – the video received an incredible 1.8 million views.

"I started my YouTube channel after seeing a girl do her make up online, I know that sounds silly but I thought why I don't show people what I do!" she explained.

"After the video of my first flight got 1.8 million views, I began making lots of videos of my flight journeys and from there my Instagram became very popular."

Clips of Michelle flying passengers around the globe and teaching people to become pilots have become an inspiration to many online.

This led her to her creating an Instagram account dedicated to her career which now has an array of photographs of her flying sky high.

"People think it's about the lifestyle but it's not. It's about flying!" Michelle said.

"Working with the techniques of the plane, and the weather. It's extremely flexible. One day I'm here, the next I'm there. I absolutely love that about it."

Michelle first realised she wanted to become a pilot at the age of 17 after her grandfather, aged 74, got his pilot licence.

He then asked Michelle whether she'd like to get her licence too and from there she decided to kick start her career.

The Ryanair pilot started training when she was 19 at CAE Aviation Academy and two years later she received her pilot licence at 21 years old.

Since then her job has taken her to Spain, Marrakech, Canary Islands, Poland, Italy and other fabulous locations.

"It's not your average 9-5 job, which I would really hate," Michelle said.

"I love being in new places and experiencing new things."

Michelle says that when she was younger that she didn't even realise women could become pilots – and now she believes there aren't enough.

"I'm really happy my grandad told me because I would have never have thought about it!" she laughed.

"It was once a man's world and although there are many female pilots today there are nowhere near enough. There needs to be more, in a manly environment we should show men that we can fly too."
