Your video has offered the most clear and comprehensive explanation of becoming a flight attendant among many videos I've seen. Thank you!
thank you for watching and im happy to help!
I have some friends who are flight attendants and they look like they have the best of times and have met such amazing friends but the training sounds rough
yes it truly brings so many great people and experiences but training is something I would never want to do again lol
@@happylittlelife 😭😭😭
Can males do this?
@@zeroace111 Yes, and they are highly desired. You actually have a better chance as a male.
Exactly!
Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video! I hope to move forward with my decision to apply soon. I am very intimidated but you have eased my spirit. Thank you 🙏🏽
thank you for watching! apply!♥
A friend of mine is Flight Attendant & I just applied. Praying it's meant to be 🙏🙏🙏
Thxs for video 😊
Thank you for the info.I’m currently in the navy getting my college degree in hospitality once I get out I plan on doing 20 years as a flight attendant
You can look like anyone. Bottom line, the recruiters are looking for a "certain something". Not everyone has "it" I'm not sure what it is. But I was hired as a mainline fa immediately. But the fa's work as a team and able to work on your own and be your own boss. And be able to handle any situation thrown your way. The recruiters know who they are looking for and hire them. Good luck!
It's the BEAUTY
How often do they open applications, say per month or week?
While training, traveling and stays, are you 100% responsible for these expenses? Are you considered “on call” while training?
Are you required to be vaccinated?
I’m interested in applying these days and I’m super scared also super curious at the same time . Thank you so much for this video!
during training they pay for your hotel as well as when you’re traveling!
Question-what’s the average annual salary for 1st time flight attendants?
Hi! My name is Catarina and I happen to live in Finland and my dream is to become a flight attendant. I am studying tourism at Vocational Institute, I will graduate in December and after that I am thinking of applying to Finnair. This video gave me a lot of useful information so thank you so much for the info and I hope that I will be a great flight attendant like you one day🥰.
aww thank you so much!! I really appreciate that ♥️♥️ I hope to see you in the friendly skies soon!
do you learn a lot from studying tourism? is there other majors to study to travel?
Omg my name is Katarina! I hope you are still enjoying school and get to be a flight attendant some day🥰
This the first video I saw . Love the topics you expressed very good .
thank you this!! i’m thinking about this but have no clue if it’s right for me. i’ m 20 yrs old and think this career might be perfect for me for the next decade or so, but what’s the schedule like once you get promoted to higher levels? When i’m 30 or so, and have kids, etc… will i be able to manage a flexible and healthy work-life balance?
Yes because your seniority will be at a point to where you can preference your schedule the way you want it. A lot of the more senior FA’s get 2-3 weeks off at a time because they get awarded what they bid for. They might work only at the beginning or end of each month and have the middle of month of, for example.

First, thank you for taking the time to discuss this topic! Second, I have a few questions about options. Do you choose regional or mainline? Also, do you get to choose between reserve or lineholder? Are they strict about dress code specifically runs in panty hose throughout the day?
thanks for watching! and essentially yes you choose regional or mainline because its different when you apply. reserve and line holder is not really a choice, its what your seniority can hold. and they would prefer you didn't have runs in your pantyhose but no one is following you around checking lol
Hey! This video was super helpful. I am currently in the process of my second phase interview and I wanted more clarification if the airlines cover for hotel stay and airfare for training? Or if it’s only for the food that will cover?
hi there and congrats! 🎈 the airline will pay for the hotel during training and they will fly you there but you will have to at for food (at least for my airline) they provide lunch but other meals you pay for
Which airline?
The realest review I’ve seen. Thank you so much! You helped me so much.
thank you 🥺 im so glad to help
Thank you so much for this video I just graduated and my mother wanted me to become a flight attendant she thinks it would be a wonderful opportunity for me and before I just jump straight in I want to know some information and this was so helpful I'm so scared because I'm not the type of person to like you know leave the nest and I'm always with my mother i just took a trip to Florida for the first time ever being on a plain my body felt very weird and sick being in a new Environment I don't know what I should do but I know ounce I'm ready this was so helpful ❤
I just graduated from high school too and I’m scared aswell
so glad I could help! and it is something you have to be mentally prepared for. 🧡🧡
Recruiters know what they are looking for.mom wants you,not enough.look for another career that u will be very happy in! It's not for everyone.flying is not for everyone, you never see family,friends,alone on Christmas,NYE,birthdays,every holiday. There are many other fields in airline industry!! Travel benefits too!! Good luck
Is there an age limit for flight attendant
Thank you so much for this video! It was so much more information than I expected & was everything I needed. I’ve been thinking for a few years about applying but never knew enough to take that leap. I have one question; I’ve been thinking of going to University for a degree & was wondering how difficult it would be to be a flight attendant & go to school. Would you recommend getting to a more senior status before starting school?
hi there! thank you for watching! and honestly school and being a flight attendant in the early stages would be close to impossible ☹️ your schedule will be too all over the place. after gaining some seniority I believe it would be doable but I wouldn’t recommend it for now
Should you save up money (and how much if so) in order to start? Since the training is unpaid & can relocate you. Do you recommend saving up enough to live off of for 2 months in another city/state?
Not every airline has unpaid training..
I’m from a small town in va and this was super helpful for me! Thank you for this informative video
same! and thank you for watching! 🫶
thank you so much for this information. i have my virtual interview next week. i appreciate this!
you go girl! let me know how it goes!
How’d it go?
I have an interview today and your video was so helpful. Thank you! ♥️
good luck! so glad I could help! ♥️
I got my CJO and I leave on the 26th for training. This was helpful! Thank you for the video :)
yay!! so glad, good luck and I’ll see you in the friendly skies!
Hey how was it and what are u doing now ? Update us
This video is so helpful I loved it , I had so many questions thanks to you, you answered it all
so glad it was helpful! ♥️
Thank you for this! I’ve been looking for opening and they are all looking for language speakers. Really hope they have openings soon for English 🙏
EXCELLENT video ! I saw another video and she stated that you can be told to report to the airport but not be assigned a flight. Do you get paid for reporting . Reserve will receive days off every week?
yes ma'am that's correct! you will receive hours for sitting at the airport even if you aren't used. & reserves get a minimum of 1 day off a week but could be more.
I applied and within days, I received the next step and then the video interview, but they cancelled it and did not give me a reason. I was not sure why, but a day after I received a face to face interview and now I am going to Denver next month. I am super excited and need to know what to wear on the plane. Where do I get some scarfs from, I want to walk in the airport as if I am going to work.
first off congrats girl! I wore a pantsuit with my hair pulled back.. but a scarf, try H&M or Zara.. I feel like I've seen cute scarves there!
@@happylittlelife I will keep you posted and thanks for responding back so quickly. I am so excited to have this opportunity. I am studying daily while also getting ready for a play that weekend before I leave.
Thank you for this most informative video! I do have one question. I'm not a good swimmer, I can swim across the pool but only dog-paddling or on my back. I'm not comfortable in deep water at all. I have to know the bottom is at or just below my feet to be comfortable. I tried learning, took some lessons, but no use. Will this hurt my chances?
thank you for watching! and nope, swimming is not a requirement. you will be fine without knowing how to swim 😄
@@happylittlelife wow, that's awesome, thank you! 😃
@@happylittlelife thanks for answering I'm also not a swimmer at all, in any way, and I'm worried about the ditching training
@@BowtiesRcoool no worries, we dont actually get in water for ditching, not at the moment anyways.
@@happylittlelife OK GOOD LMAO-
If you're a commuter and on reserve and don't get called to fly that day, but have to be there say 4 days in a row on call... who pays for the hotel? Is that on the FA or does the airline give you a certain amount of nights to use per month?
if you commute, that's strictly on you as the flight attendant. we use these places called crash pads where a bunch of FAs can pay monthly for a place to sleep when they need to which is cheaper than a hotel each time.
Is there something airlines are specifically looking for in an applicant when hiring? I know you said that it’s required to have a high school diploma or GED but is there anything else in the resume that they look at?
Anything in the hospitality/retail industry
New Subbie. So thorough and straight fwd. thank you for protecting us in the skies.
thank you so much! 💙
Considering this at 43 am I nutts? My youngest is 14. I’ve always wanted to be a flight attendant could never part from family but with.. looking forward to a new adventure soon.
Thank you for your video and all the helpful information. Im very interested in this career and actively trying to get involved. One question I have for you is didn't you have too or do most airlines prefer you to have already gone to some type of flight attendant school or classes before applying or should you apply without any experience and if accepted they send you to the classes required?
no airline experience! just customer service experience on your resume and they will teach you everything else ☺
Loved this video! Had my first interview yesterday 🤞🏾
OMG your Beautiful Travel Enjoy Life God Bless You 🎉
thank you so much!!
hey hey.
I'm so interested in being one of the flight attendant but I originate from Botswana, so I really wanna know about the requirements and all that because it's not like we have much of the airlines in Botswana. sending love .❤
Thanks so much for this video, Question do i had to go college to get started?
How do you work on call with a dog? Also love the Rock outfit
I have help with him!
I have been tyring to apply it just sends me to different sites I need this change in my life .....btw the most useful information that I have found keep doing it,
just keeping checking all airline carriers websites every so often. and thank you so much!! 💙
I live in mobile Alabama so I’d have to actually pack up my home and move ?
for at least a little bit, yes
you said you can pick up extra flights while you’re on call, what happens if you pick up a flight and they call you while you do that one?
you pick up on your off days
This info is amazing I have my in person next week 😊
yay!! you got this! keep me posted on how it goes
Your video was very informative! I plan on becoming a FA. I live in Miami but currently work as ramp agent for MIA, does that experience help in getting hired as a FA?
I also have 2 passports, Canadian and American, Im just wondering if my ramp agent experience will make me stand out as a candidate?
Can you do part time as a flight attendant? I’m not sure if that’s a dumb question… I have a daughter and keep going back and forth if this is a career I’d want to go into being a single mom.
hi lovely! unfortunately starting off it would be full time and on call .. I dont want to say a single mom can’t do it but you would definitely need some support and people to help with your daughter. hope this helps
Thank you 🙏🏾 I’m applying tonight .
of course! good luck!
Yeah
Thank you so much for this video. Very helpful and I feel more prepared and excited!
yay good! I’m glad it helped 💘 have you been through the interview process already?
@@happylittlelife if I only want to fly in the states do I still need a passport
@@kingb7038 yes, they send you where they need you and that may not only be in the states. if they call you to leave the states, you have to go
Hellloooo❤I enjoyed your video so much ❤I’m planning to apply air line soon!
So my question is the height.
I’m not tall and I’m very concerned to fail bc I’m short.
Did you have some height test or reaching test?
Thank you in advance ❤
thank you for watching! I do not remember any reach test but I believe things have changed a little since I started. I am not completely sure but I want to say no reach test 😊 hope this helps!
Might be a strange question but what do you do with your dogs on those days when you have very limited time to prepare for flights?
I have help with my dog so I’m very blessed!
how old would you recommended working as a flight attendant? Im 19 yrs old in college right now and don’t graduate for another 2 years and a half. I would want to join reserve but I worry that the schedule would be too hectic for a full time student.
I'm in the same situation as you 😭😭😭
Thanks for this content! I'm curious: Do most airlines allow their employees to commute for free or at a discount?
its for free, or you can buy a discounted ticket (:
I just applied and right away I got a email they turned me down. Went over my application twice and couldn’t find a problem. So why so fast the turn over.
hmm im not surre.. do you have customer service experience on your resume?
Just followed you on Instagram! I fly to ATL for my in-person interview next month and I'm so excited!
yay you go girl!! let me know how it goes 💙
I have been turned down 3 times I guess the airlines don’t like my video interview 😩😩
Hey beauty ! Loved the video and it answered a lot of my questions but my one question is while training and relocating, do they pay for your stay ..? Or that’s out of pocket ..?
hi love! so in training they put you in a hotel but relocating would be out of pocket. my airline gave us a hotel for a week after training but other than that we had to cover everything!
@@happylittlelife hi beauty, do you have to share the hotelroom with others or do you have your own room while training ?
@@hrm9081 unfortunately during training you share a room with someone but when you’re actually working, you get your own (:
sorry i’m late but i just saw this :) Soooo i live in Europe and becoming a FA is a dream of mine. I’ll have to choose a university this year and i wondered if you could suggest what field of studies i should attend (i studied human sciences at high school & i am pretty good w languages). Thank you so much🩷🩷🩷
Awesome video thank so much! Question for you I am interested in becoming a FA but I wanted know if you think I would have to cut my hair or wear it a certain way? Thanks for your time 🙂
hi there! so you would just need to pull it back (: other than that you’re good
Thanks for the tips I appreciate so much
Thanks for being informative, appreciate you 😊
anytime! thanks for watching 💙
This was very informative, thank you for sharing! 😊 ✈️
of course! 💙
contemplating a career change after watching this ✈
yassss come on over, we would love to have you! 🖤
How would it work if you are on call but you are a commuter. what's the time gap to get to your base
you have three hours minimum to get to your base for an assignment
Do they provide housing when you are away for six weeks?
yes you are in a hotel
Thank you for this video 🙏🏾 I’m looking for a career change. I’m OVER being a Dental Assistant..
this was so very helpful!!!
thank you for watching!
Do you know what mainline carriers do a vision or heating test?
I’m not sure which ones do, but I’m going to assume they all do
I did a HireVue for a major airline and I did not wear make up and now I regret submitting my video interview without make up and I have a blonde bob haircut but I should have put my hair back like yours.... requires lots of hairspray though.
I think you will be fine! don’t be discouraged over that. as long as your outfit was appropriate, I wouldn’t worry!
Great video! I’m curious if someone who is older and has kids like me ever begins a fight attendant career? I’ve been thinking of switching careers and have always wanted to be a flight attendant.
it’s never too late at all! I see flight attendants of all ages (: come on over!
Does overtime ever come into play as a flight attendant..?
Thank u so much!! I have a question lol. Do we sometimes get discounts on flights? And did u say we have to pay for our hotel every time?
hi there yes you would basically fly for free or you can buy discount tickets. and when you’re working, they pay for hotel
You can fly free on standby with your airline or book a jumpseat 5 days in advance
When you switch lines do you have to do training all over again for different airlines?
if you go from one airline to another, you have to do training again for that airline.
Great video, i have one question though. Would you need to be a citizen of the country the airline is based in? I am currently going through high school and I really want to be a flight attendant in Canada.
Thanks for the video.... I just got my passport....I have an open group interview coming up this Wednesday. I'm so scared.....but hoping for the best.
you got this!!
@@happylittlelife UPDATE. I got my offer 😌 letter today. Start training soon.Am looking forward to it. Thinking about starting my own UA-cam channel too similar to yours
@@journeywithladydanielle4347 congrats!!! that is awesome!! 🎈 and you should! go for it (:
@@happylittlelife thank you 😊 🙏
What about if you’re reading is not all that great? How hard is the test?
This was awesome I have my interview next week
good luck!!🍀
Can you apply for another airline in another country
Question 🙋♀️!!
Ok so I heard from a lady who has a friend that is a flight attendant that if you fail a section of training you have to completely restart? Is that true?
Thanks for the video by the way!! This has really helped me think deeper into my career path
so for my airline, we got one test redo but after that unfortunately they send you home ☹️ they will typically invite you back at a later date though!
Hey sis, thanks for the information but my worry has been like for the ladies, when you’re maybe having menstrual pains,are you allowed to rest or sleep on the plain?
hey there! and unfortunately no :( we do have downtime once everything is complete but nothing set in most situations.
Hey I've been researching everything for a few days now, and it just occurred to me. I am missing one of my incisor teeth and am still a few years out from being able to get a implant to replace it. Would i basically be automatically ruled out from the process because of that?
This was like the general info but I still feel lost. Commute means flights? But you said we cant live at home….so lost
you always have the choice of commuting ..I said "I" personally would NOT recommend that in the beginning, as you will be on call 24/7 for certain days. commuting for example means "I live in Charlotte but work out of DC" so I would be commuting up to DC when I have a trip. hope that helps
Do you have to be a certain weight? I know that’s an odd question, I’m curious
nope they did away with that luckily or I wouldn't of made the cut lol
Thank you for this video! What airline are you with ?
what determines whether you're a line holder or on reserve?
your seniority .. you start out as a reserve until you’re senior enough to hold a line
Do they ask for proof of your diploma ?
A great video. Thank you so much for the information. I have a question about the required height for a flight attendant. My height is 5’1”. That is only thing I worry about. Thank you so much ☺️
thank you for watching! and I am not positive about how they go about it but I do know a couple of flight attendants that have been hired that are above and below the height "requirement." so definitely still apply if you're interested 😊
No requirements for heights. Some short women use a stick type thing to open and close overheads
@@barbaracameron5610 things may have changed, but when I applied the application stated height requirements. however I know FAs who fall above and below these requirements.
happylittlelife I’m 4’11 I wanna work for Hawaiian airlines ✈️✈️🛫🛬🌺🌺🌺🌺I’m more concerned that they’ll immediately cut me tell me I can’t work for them because of my height I can do everything else as a flight ✈️ attendant
@@Onedirection00 me too i'm 14 i'm scared because i will probably not grow anymore taller and i wanma become one🥲🥲
What's the salary. Or I guess we'll get there
Thank you a million for this video 😊
thank you for watching!
I tried applying online and its just full of spam or they dont take applications🙄
the applications aren’t open at all times. you have to catch it when it is. I post on my IG when apps are open
Question: why do flight attendants do a 5 hour flight then go stays at a hotel then go back and do another flight? Cant F. Attendants just go to a destination and fly back to their base? Can they opt not to stay at a hotel?
hi there and no you have to do what your trip says. sometimes it is a "fly 5 hours then go back" but sometimes its "fly 5 hours, layover at the hotel, then go somewhere else the next day" .. hope that helps
Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated. What was your approach to studying The Schematics?
Hi! I see a lot of people saying summers are the worst to fly can you elaborate on that please? Also how do you maintain a positive mental space?Also, ma’am! Tips on how you on that CJO on the spot🥳
summer is kicking our butts! lol it’s very tough right now because of so much travel. lots of flights falling apart and delays etc. honestly, my mental health has been in the trash for the month of June lol but I’m getting back to myself. and for the CJO on the spot I told myself I am not leaving this place without that job! lol and it paid off, I was honestly just myself and made jokes, and had fun.
American, southwest, jet blue and frontier hires at 20!
oh awesome! good to know!
My exact question is How do you maintain your dot with your job.
I’m currently a medical assistant will I have to quit my job while in training or going to “flight attending school” ?? I just tired 20 I’m really considering flight attending I just heard it hard to find a job? Please advise? Thank you love for this ❤️😭
hi! yes unfortunately you'd have to quit your job for training, unless they are willing to give you the 6 weeks off. but even after training you wouldn't be able to have a second job right away because of the schedule
Same. I work as a medical assistant currently and just got to the first round of interviews for a flight attendant position. I’m just going to go for it
@@lifewithbreannajay yes good! the good thing about being in the medical field is that you’ll always be able to find a job, even if FA doesn’t work out
Hey, what about wearing wigs ? is there restrictions on hair color or nails ?
as long as it looks natural then its fine.. and nails have to be a certain length and no loud colors
Hey there! When can you start using the free flying benefits after training & how much people are you allowed to use the flight benefits for prr month?
hello! so I believe you can start using your benefits to an extent right away. and once a year you can change who all gets to fly using your benefits. its a few different options but contrary to popular belief you can't just hand benefits out like candy lol
Can I apply for a position that requires me to be 21 while I’m 20? Like do training while I’m 20 and then as I turn 21 start working? The goal is to to work mainline but that requires me to be 21. I’m not fond over the idea of working for a small air line while I’m 20 then turning 21 and wishing to go to main line.
I believe you need to be 21 at the time of training
Hi love quick question! I’m finally looking into FA I had to break a while but my son is getting older, what exactly are they looking for in our resume? Im looking to change mine tonight more professional just want more of an insight what they are looking for
hi there! so they are looking for customer service experience mainly and if you have any first aid training or speak any of the qualifying languages that would be great too! (:
question🙋🏾♀️ : how is the virtual job tryout? any advise?
I just got my results .... I didn't make it ... Bombed ... I feel horrible .. but I'm going to try again n six months
What is your he best airline to work for
Omg this is perfect for me I wanna join!!!
Should I Do a travel academy first prior to applying to these airlines?
nope, just apply. they'll teach you everything you need to know (:
