Being an airhostess is awesome. You go to many different places, you experience unique things and meet a lot of people from all over the world.

It’s definitely not a 9 to 5 but that’s great. Anything can happen and you never know for sure in which country you’ll be the next day. When you get the chance to stay at a destination you discover places you would normally never go to. A fancy hotel room, going out with the rest of the crew and some quality time at the pool or the beach. It’s not too bad.

You’re not laying at the pool the whole time though. Most of the time you just go back and forth and don’t even get out of the plane. Sometimes you have to wake up at 3 am or you get home in the middle of the night. You’re often tired or your feet hurt from standing on high heels the whole time. Passengers can be really rude. But most of the time it’s just because they are tired, hungry, afraid to fly,… Or sometimes it’s just because it’s the way they are. Then you just need to stay friendly, smile and don’t take it personal.

 Every job has good and bad things but it’s definitely worth it. When you’re on the plane and you look outside for a moment you have the most amazing view. Sometimes you escape from all the people and go into to the cockpit to have a little chat with the pilots. The one day, you’re trying to spot the Eiffel Tower or Pyramids in Egypt, The other day you see a beautiful sunrise or sunset. Underneath there are a thousand little lights shining bright. It’s a magical feeling you can’t describe.

So if you’re thinking about applying, do it! If you love traveling, you’re good at languages, social, flexible, stress-resistant and looking for a job full of adventure then being an airhostess is a job for you.
