Hope you guys like this video! If there's anything you'd like to know about Emirates Cabin Crew life, stories, or even how to pass your Emirates Interview let me know below so I can help!
Not an Emirates wannabe FA, but add some crazy rude customers stories and toxic working environments with other colleagues inflight the next time you do a video.
Hi Veronica , if you can please make a video about the living expense that you get to see while being a FA , (I know accommodation is free) A video in more details from laundry , food expenses and whatever expense there is
@@amindfulnomad It will definitely mess up your hormones big time. I have worked the odds hours for a couple of years and if I could go back in time, I wouldht have done it. People tend to look all this video's, which look lit from outside looking in but when you are sleep deprived, it is a matter of time before you get all worked up by petty stuff. I hope you are doing better now. 🤚👍
It's true. It would be great if airlines would provide this info to people before they hire people, so they could make an informed decision. I try to keep my videos honest, I really enjoyed the job it was super fun, but it was incredibly tiring and hard on my mental health at times. I do recognize that not everyone is the same, though. Thanks for your kind words! @@kostasxronhs5892
I work for a UK airline and during Covid, we were fully supported by managers during redundancies. I can’t believe how the Middle Eastern airlines treated their employees
It's more of a safety procedure to protect everyone as covid was spreading like crazy, I'd say it's better to be let go by the company I'm working for than getting covid and potentially spread it even more
Lol I work for a UK airline and they fired and rehired us all under a worse contract - I was one of only 400 crew who kept flying throughout Covid and they fired me after for asking for a VR quote 😂.
To be fair, it wasn’t like that when I started. They used to give people a ground job option when they got close to 50. It changed in the last few years I was there. But I don’t judge people who choose to work there because I understand it’s a lifelong dream to many 🙂
@amindfulnomad They should embrace 50 it is a beautiful age where you have the most confidence. Sorry, disgusting company. Needs to change! Won't fly them now.
Counterpoint, being cabin crew is a pretty physically demanding job. I’m in my late 40s, and don’t think of myself as being old, but I certainly cannot perform like when I was in my 20s, and 30s.
On the other hand, I was on a United flight last month where several of the flight attendants were so poorly groomed that I didn't want the drinks or food they were serving. Hair all over the place (possibly in the food?), unkept nails, messy uniforms, one was decidedly overweight which I know this isn't fair, but it seemed to accentuate her poorly fitted uniform. I don't want people to be judged on their looks, but being neat and well groomed, especially when you're handling and serving food and drinks, is important, at least it is to me. For airlines based in Western countries, the days of admiring or being envious of their flight attendants are decidedly over.
I know lots of people above the age of 50 that are still flight attendants, and they love it, however, not in the Emirates.... more like in Europe, America or South America, there is no age limit. The oldest flight attendant in the US is around 69 yo. It's totally possible. But not with Emirates, usually outside the UAE, people can fly around 80 hours per month, in the UAE I guess it's around 120 hours pm.... that's insane....
Hey there! 100% agree with you, I know people over 50 that are still flight attendants, too. But not in Emirates, when you get to 50 they stop renewing your contract.
It is quite concerning how many videos there are about quitting Emirates. Obviously there is something very wrong with this company and it's attitude towards employees. I do not think there is another airline company with so many ex flight attendants talking about their experience.
It's true, there are quite a few videos. To be fair though: I didn't leave, they laid me off during the pandemic and called me back to work with them in 2021 (I decided no to go back because I didn't want to fly anymore). There are pros and cons like in every job. It's still a great experience! But I like telling my truth so people know what I saw and what I experience and they can make an informed decision. :)
I have heard of airline crashes due to how tired pilots were, due to the fact that they could not afford a place to stay. This was some years ago, and a pilot’s starting salary was less than a cleaner in the UK got paid. The airline in question was an American one. People make videos about Emirates because everyone in the world heard of them.
Emirates is a golden cage , they do not want employees, more want slaves of the modern world. Yeah the offer free accomodation, true but you pay a high price for that, not everything is money. Employees resign every month there, they just go for the experience of travelling the world and when they get tired quit and ciao.
Haha glad you liked them! Someone just commented that they hated them. 😅 I guess it’s all about personal taste. I find this more fun than me just talking 🤣
I received an offer with Emirates right before the pandemic. When the pandemic hit they cancelled our training dates - and that was that. Now im about to go to training for American. Best of luck !
They did that to SO MANY people. Pretty embarrassing how they managed that entire situation. But in hindsight: a lot of big companies handled it horribly. Glad you still pursued your dream and that you’ll be flying for American!! Congrats and keep in touch, I’d love to hear about your experience with them :)
You are going to be a perfect wife and a perfect mother that’s for sure your personality to your character is just superb. You are a beautiful human being.
Not aiming for perfection at all here, I have a good amount of flaws. But loving the compliment of being a beautiful human being ♥so are you friend for leaving comments with good energy. We need more of this on the internet!
I love. Love. Love how you delivered this message to all cabin crew wannabes out there who would love to join Emirates and while I was one of them 9 years ago trying to get into emirates went to almost 6 open days barely making it to 3rd stages because I thought that that was my only dream. Long story short 10 years later I am now employed by Emirates as a groundstaff but based in Europe. Safe to say that I live my best life now looking back I can definitely see why I didn’t get into Emirates cabin crew because I meant to be here where I am now. But shout out for those of you who want to be a cabin crew for Emirates yes join us but know what you signed up for. Exactly what she said write it down on your journal. Write it on a piece of paper. Know what you signed up for! This is a very demanding job, not for the fainthearted 🎉❤ good luck everyone xx
Hey! Thank you for the very insightful video definitely subscribing., i am an African male aspiring FA and i just applied online. I just really wanted to know if i stand a chance if i only speak English which i am very fluent and good at...is an extra language a must??? Cause im already googling Easiest languages to learn 🤣
So glad you liked it! Knowing English is the only requirement. If you speak an extra language it's considered an advantage. Most crew from the UK only speak English, and there are tons of them :)
Hey, do you know if they care about scars? On arms & inner corner of hand? Not particularly massive ones.. they can also be covered with makeup or they care more about tattoo? xx
half of destinations are turnaround cant see the destinations on days off you hop a flight to see places driving license recommended 50 or less old 11 hours minimum rest
Wonderful video! Honestly, ever since I read that article about the flight attendant weight thing, Emirates has sounded off putting to me. How accurate was that situation and does the UAE not have laws protecting individuals from that?
I was shocked when you said vomit bags 😮 I work in an airline in the Middle East too and we aren’t allowed to take vomit bags from passengers , we always ask them to throw it in the toilet trash containers, because it’s not hygienic especially us serving food…
Oh same with Emirates! You’re not allowed to take the vomit bags, you either tell them to throw it in the toilet or take a biohazard bag so they can put it there. But that doesn’t mean people don’t try to hand them to you anyway 🤣
I think fulfillment is very personal: I felt like being cabin crew was rewarding especially after becoming a Supervisor. But I do see your point! The conditions are good in EK, it's not perfect, but to be honest: it's a great airline to work for. I just like to tell it like it is and share pros and cons. Thanks for commenting!
Hey there! Great benefits, but I always hear pilots complaining about the amount of flying hours (too many) and the level of strictness/bureaucracy for silly things.
I took a gap year before entering to university and I was thinking on doing this. I don’t see it as a permanent thing but definitely want the experience! I’m curious about the contract. Do they offer you 1/3/6month as trial contracts?
thank you for a very interesting video. I am 82 , live, in Englnd and last year had a wonderful trip on A380 from LHR to DBX where I changed to a Boeing 777 for trip to SEZ for a holday. In fact in 1984 I had holiday to SEZ and I met my ex-wife ( who is a Seychelles born lady ( and then she came to England and we got married. The A380 was superd and comfortable, cabin grey were helpful. However the B777 can NEVER be compared to Airbus A380, in my view A380 is the best plane in the world. I hope you have a good new work or any other work.My last job was as container controller in Felixstow in England for ZIM ISRAEL NAVIGATION from 1994 to 1996.. I hope you do not mind my short story, enjoy yourself in your current occupation,
This is so cool! Hope you’re still traveling and yes I agree: A380 is MUCH better for passengers, way more comfortable than the Boeing. At least with the Emirates cabin interiors, it can be different in other airlines :) have a great day and thanks for leaving a comment!
To be fair, all airlines have standards for cabin crew, be it aesthetics, or safety. Even BA has a minimum reach requirement. Also, if you are 5’ 4”, and weigh 120kg, you will also definitely be rejected, but you will not be told it is a weight thing.
That is true, airlines have had standards for crew ever since the job was invented. Look at the PanAm flight attendants, they used to weigh them before flights and they had to have perfect make up. Not saying it's right or wrong, it's just the way it's always been.
I love your videos. You are so beautiful and nice personality. Please, can you honestly tell me if I could apply on Emirates cabin crew if I'm 49 year old? I look much younger and feel younger and I am in a good health, but I know I'm too old for them, even if they don't mention maximum agem limit.
Hey there! From my knowledge EK doesn’t hire past 35 (they actually don’t renew contracts to people that are close to 50 which totally sucks). But you can ALWAYS TRY! I always rather give it a shot, because you already know “no” is a possibility. What do you got to lose, right?
I loved the video thank you so much, it's so in depth and you covered a lot of things I had questions about Now I have a specific question maybe you don't have the answer to and that's fine hh do you know if one can do a master's online in dubai while working as cabin crew ? Like do you think it's doable to study something simultaneously? Maybe you know someone who did that .. Thanks
Hi! Thanks for your kind words 🥰 I do have friends who studied online (I studied online myself). I even flew with a girl who did a phd while flying, so it’s totally possible! But you do have to be committed. You have to keep into consideration that you’re going to be tired from flying late at night and early in the morning + jet lag. But if you commit you 100% can do it 💪🏼
@@amindfulnomad oh thank you for the fast reply 🥰 That's so good to hear, also the phd while flying sounds so badass ! Love it 😁 I hope being 27 is not a problem I heard they hire younger
Please am presently in finishing my first semester on a 2 years course in civil aviation and cabin services. But I feel it too long. How will I be able to work for Emirates immediately
I have a quick question I have new job now I need ur advice I work in a hotel and I got an invitation to final assessment interview will it not affect me during my interview I have spent one month ? Will it be a lead not to pick me just because I have spent less time at my current work ? Because it’s my dream to be a cabin crew
If they already called you to the final interview, I don’t see how it can affect you. Make sure you’re prepared for the final interview and most importantly: BE RELAXED. Best of luck!! Let me know how you go :)
From Vietnam with love ❤️ hope U doing well. I wonder that I have a tattoo on the forearm and my question is that whether the uniform might be cover it or not. Although I’ve been invited to the cabin crew interview in my area, I worried about that I would not be able to pass it cuz of a tattoo 🥲 Pls give me your advice if possible sis and I really appreciate that.
Weird the hiring process is so hard and challenging and still quality of employees is poor? The are hiring so many, like every country every month and still not enough?
You're right. But I think their standards are more focused on age and specific looks, so I guess it makes it harder to find quality people when you're priorities are set elsewhere 🙃
You can get your own but they won't give you allowance to pay for it, and in Dubai it's necessary as accommodation is really expensive. UNLESS you: a) are married b) have family who lives in dubai c) own your property. I got lucky because they didn't have enough buildings a few years back, so they offered me the allowance, so I took it and RAN 😅
@amindfulnomad So, you might be eligible for the allowance if you’re married? Or do you mean getting your own accommodation might be more affordable if you have a working partner? Sorry, I got confused
I saw a video about a pilot and why he left Emirates. Only those who make captain have a half decent experience. First officers are a dime a dozen and they don't care. When I see these companies do these things I think the problem is at the very top. The CEO/President owns their own crap and they should be held accountable.
You're right, the problem is definitely at the very top. But FOs made a very decent living! The main thing I always heard pilots complain about was the amount of flying hours, which was almost the same as cabin crew.
Unfortunately, no. A high school diploma is the minimum educational requirement. 😕 Everything else you added makes you a standout candidate though! You just need that diploma :)
I never want to go to Dubai.. I just dont agree with slave labour they import and their living conditions..they re rich enough to pay and treat people correctly. Glad you were able to start your own business amazing...❤
hii i’m wondering if i go into open day now (october) and can’t go to dubai until april will that affect my position with them? and if i go again will i not get chosen because i couldn’t come sooner last time? i just want to make sure i can pass the reach test etc but i want to plan my future a bit in advance.. thank you for answering ❤️
Hi! Do you mean if you get selected but can’t come until April? And what does the reach test have to do with it? Let me know so I can understand a bit better :)
@@amindfulnomad I’m not too sure if I can manage to do the reach test that’s why i wanted to try the open day so soon and see!! and yes the earliest i could join is april next year if i get selected yes!! would that be too long of a time period for them to wait or is it ok? thank you for replying :)
April may be a bit long, but I do know that they are understanding (they do ask you what your notice period for your current job is) so as long as you tell them from the beginning, you should be okay. But don't tell them about your notice period being April until they ask. Best of luck! @@kokomiiiiii-_-
I’m so sorry, that is so ridiculous. Unfortunately that’s how they operate. I’ve heard there have been updates on how they manage weight and they’re more strict now. Doing research for my next video 👀
@@amindfulnomad Thanks. I heard that Etihad makes cabin crew repay their joining bonus over the first 12 months (even if they stay 12 months or longer).
Hlo mam I am from India my name is chandan kumar..i want to become a cabin crew for qatar airways i have given 4 times interview but i did not qualify to assisment day ...its my dram to become cabin crew..can you please help me to achieve my dream its a humble request from you mam.. hlep me mam for purse my dream ..😊
Hi Chandan! I've never worked for Qatar, but here are a few tips I can give you to become cabin crew: -Work on your English, practice watching videos, movies, whatever you can get your hands on. -Work on your mindset. The more confident you are, the better you'll do in the interview, because you'll feel prepared. -Apply for smaller airlines or a job in the airport. It's a way to get involved in the aviation world which will also give you more confidence and value in your CV. You've got this! Just trust ✨
Love your honesty of this video:) Around 13 years ago, they were holding a open call interviews in my country. I went there and made it up to group assessments. I remember how down I was when I wasn't choosen. Looking back and hearing all these stories, I know I'd be miserable and I'd probably quit after a year or two. I know a girl from my country who was working for them for 3 years, and got out. She said exactly same things.
@@sofs994 it also depends on your contract. When did you join? I know that more recent contracts have lower base salaries. I made 11-12k dhs most months when I was gr2 and gr1 (and flying 120 hs per month). Then it became much more when I made it to supervisor.

I hope you do not mind my short story, enjoy yourself in your current occupation,
This is so cool! Hope you’re still traveling and yes I agree: A380 is MUCH better for passengers, way more comfortable than the Boeing. At least with the Emirates cabin interiors, it can be different in other airlines :) have a great day and thanks for leaving a comment!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video while having dinner. Nice sense of humor.
Glad you enjoyed it!
To be fair, all airlines have standards for cabin crew, be it aesthetics, or safety. Even BA has a minimum reach requirement. Also, if you are 5’ 4”, and weigh 120kg, you will also definitely be rejected, but you will not be told it is a weight thing.
That is true, airlines have had standards for crew ever since the job was invented. Look at the PanAm flight attendants, they used to weigh them before flights and they had to have perfect make up. Not saying it's right or wrong, it's just the way it's always been.
I love your videos. You are so beautiful and nice personality. Please, can you honestly tell me if I could apply on Emirates cabin crew if I'm 49 year old? I look much younger and feel younger and I am in a good health, but I know I'm too old for them, even if they don't mention maximum agem limit.
Hey there! From my knowledge EK doesn’t hire past 35 (they actually don’t renew contracts to people that are close to 50 which totally sucks). But you can ALWAYS TRY! I always rather give it a shot, because you already know “no” is a possibility. What do you got to lose, right?
@@amindfulnomad Thank you so much for replying. Yes, I will go to the Open Day and see, so that I won't have regrets later for not trying.
I loved the video thank you so much, it's so in depth and you covered a lot of things I had questions about
Now I have a specific question maybe you don't have the answer to and that's fine hh do you know if one can do a master's online in dubai while working as cabin crew ? Like do you think it's doable to study something simultaneously? Maybe you know someone who did that ..
Thanks
Hi! Thanks for your kind words 🥰 I do have friends who studied online (I studied online myself). I even flew with a girl who did a phd while flying, so it’s totally possible! But you do have to be committed. You have to keep into consideration that you’re going to be tired from flying late at night and early in the morning + jet lag. But if you commit you 100% can do it 💪🏼
@@amindfulnomad oh thank you for the fast reply 🥰
That's so good to hear, also the phd while flying sounds so badass ! Love it 😁
I hope being 27 is not a problem I heard they hire younger
@@me15222it absolutely isn’t. Go to the Interview with a peaceful mind and the highest of hopes + positive vibes. What’s for you won’t pass you by ☺️
Please am presently in finishing my first semester on a 2 years course in civil aviation and cabin services. But I feel it too long. How will I be able to work for Emirates immediately
Hi! Not sure I understand your question. Can you rephrase?
I have a quick question I have new job now I need ur advice I work in a hotel and I got an invitation to final assessment interview will it not affect me during my interview I have spent one month ? Will it be a lead not to pick me just because I have spent less time at my current work ? Because it’s my dream to be a cabin crew
If they already called you to the final interview, I don’t see how it can affect you. Make sure you’re prepared for the final interview and most importantly: BE RELAXED. Best of luck!! Let me know how you go :)
Thank you very much so on my cv I can leave the job that I am currently on ?
Because me I will I do all assessments together with the finals I mean all day interviews
And by the way my cv is 4 pages and full detailed is it fine ? Advice mi as well
@@doreenmuteteri1469I’d try to keep the resume to 1/2 pages with things that are relevant to customer service/aviation
From Vietnam with love ❤️ hope U doing well.
I wonder that I have a tattoo on the forearm and my question is that whether the uniform might be cover it or not. Although I’ve been invited to the cabin crew interview in my area, I worried about that I would not be able to pass it cuz of a tattoo 🥲
Pls give me your advice if possible sis and I really appreciate that.
Hi friend! Getting LOTS of questions about tattoos, so I’ll make a video explaining it a bit better.
Weird the hiring process is so hard and challenging and still quality of employees is poor? The are hiring so many, like every country every month and still not enough?
You're right. But I think their standards are more focused on age and specific looks, so I guess it makes it harder to find quality people when you're priorities are set elsewhere 🙃
Can u please minimize inserting clips from previous movies or anything.
Yes Storytime please!!
okay!
Is it required to live in their apartments? Can’t you get your own so you don’t have to have roommates ?
You can get your own but they won't give you allowance to pay for it, and in Dubai it's necessary as accommodation is really expensive. UNLESS you: a) are married b) have family who lives in dubai c) own your property. I got lucky because they didn't have enough buildings a few years back, so they offered me the allowance, so I took it and RAN 😅
@@amindfulnomad got it !! Thanks 😊
@amindfulnomad So, you might be eligible for the allowance if you’re married? Or do you mean getting your own accommodation might be more affordable if you have a working partner?
Sorry, I got confused
@@biancakemiyou’re eligible if you’re married.
I saw a video about a pilot and why he left Emirates. Only those who make captain have a half decent experience. First officers are a dime a dozen and they don't care. When I see these companies do these things I think the problem is at the very top. The CEO/President owns their own crap and they should be held accountable.
You're right, the problem is definitely at the very top. But FOs made a very decent living! The main thing I always heard pilots complain about was the amount of flying hours, which was almost the same as cabin crew.
Can I apply without high-school diploma? I worked 6 years as a customer service agent im 170m and I speak 3 languages
Unfortunately, no. A high school diploma is the minimum educational requirement. 😕 Everything else you added makes you a standout candidate though! You just need that diploma :)
I never want to go to Dubai.. I just dont agree with slave labour they import and their living conditions..they re rich enough to pay and treat people correctly. Glad you were able to start your own business amazing...❤
Thanks ✨ Starting my business was challenging but super rewarding!
hii i’m wondering if i go into open day now (october) and can’t go to dubai until april will that affect my position with them? and if i go again will i not get chosen because i couldn’t come sooner last time? i just want to make sure i can pass the reach test etc but i want to plan my future a bit in advance.. thank you for answering ❤️
Hi! Do you mean if you get selected but can’t come until April? And what does the reach test have to do with it? Let me know so I can understand a bit better :)
@@amindfulnomad I’m not too sure if I can manage to do the reach test that’s why i wanted to try the open day so soon and see!! and yes the earliest i could join is april next year if i get selected yes!! would that be too long of a time period for them to wait or is it ok? thank you for replying :)
April may be a bit long, but I do know that they are understanding (they do ask you what your notice period for your current job is) so as long as you tell them from the beginning, you should be okay. But don't tell them about your notice period being April until they ask. Best of luck! @@kokomiiiiii-_-
Can I go with my braids in the interview I mean final day when they are neat and professional?
100% as long as they are neat, you're okay :)
Loved this video! This is my dream job ! Im pretty , smart, talented acc to ma friends honestly. But im short😢😢 will i be able to achieve my dream😊
Go for it! You have to be able to reach 212cms with your arms/hands stretched and on your tippy-toes. 😉
Wow can you imagine if legacy US carriers limited the age to 50. They'd lose a huge % of their staff. So many do it as a second career.
True!
Does emirates call the companies in your cv for verification?
They didn’t call mine but I do know they run background checks on everyone who joins, hope this helps!
@@amindfulnomad thank you
I saw they will give you housing for you and your family, is that true?
Housing allowance and only under certain conditions :)
They fired me because I gained weight :) I was only 1kg overweight. They are insane
I’m so sorry, that is so ridiculous. Unfortunately that’s how they operate. I’ve heard there have been updates on how they manage weight and they’re more strict now. Doing research for my next video 👀
If you don’t mind me asking a few questions about what happened, email me at contact@amindfulnomad.com ♥️
Does Emirates make cabin crew repay their joining bonus by monthly salary deductions?
They don't make you pay. back. ONLY if you leave before your 6 month probation period.
@@amindfulnomad Thanks. I heard that Etihad makes cabin crew repay their joining bonus over the first 12 months (even if they stay 12 months or longer).
I didn't know Etihad did that, haven't heard it, but it sucks if it's true. Not cool at all.@@Straight_Talk
Can fky attended have 40-45 years old and looks beautiful. They always higher a young young people😮
I mean, most of my ab-initios (new crew) were 25 tops. 😬
Can I ask how often do they weigh you?
From what I heard recently: they can weigh you any time. They do it randomly.
You’re totally entitled to free speech, so making this video was a good decision 😊

Health is first
That’s right!
True

Interesting 👍
En point! 👏

Hlo mam I am from India my name is chandan kumar..i want to become a cabin crew for qatar airways i have given 4 times interview but i did not qualify to assisment day ...its my dram to become cabin crew..can you please help me to achieve my dream its a humble request from you mam.. hlep me mam for purse my dream ..😊
Hi Chandan! I've never worked for Qatar, but here are a few tips I can give you to become cabin crew:
-Work on your English, practice watching videos, movies, whatever you can get your hands on.
-Work on your mindset. The more confident you are, the better you'll do in the interview, because you'll feel prepared.
-Apply for smaller airlines or a job in the airport. It's a way to get involved in the aviation world which will also give you more confidence and value in your CV.
You've got this! Just trust ✨
@@amindfulnomad thankyou mam ..but can I connect with you via zoom or video call .. ..if you connect with me it will be helpful for me...
Do they have an age limit?
Watch this video, where I talk about this! ua-cam.com/video/iyEAk5BdznU/v-deo.html
❤❤❤
👏👏👏
Awesome video..
Thanks friend
you're so cool
♥️♥️
11hours is crazy 😢
nice video
Thanks!
where are you from?
Uruguay 🇺🇾
@@amindfulnomad thanks
Stories please.
No way girl... These silly cutaways had me stop watching at 1:36.
🤣🤣 it was just the intro, you could have fast forward. I do love my memes 😁
They’re always leaving since I joined in 2016 😂. Always same blah blah story
And since I joined in 2010. High-employee turnover but definitely an experience worth having!
Emirates? No , thank you !!!!
To fly as a passenger or to work?
Love your honesty of this video:) Around 13 years ago, they were holding a open call interviews in my country. I went there and made it up to group assessments. I remember how down I was when I wasn't choosen. Looking back and hearing all these stories, I know I'd be miserable and I'd probably quit after a year or two. I know a girl from my country who was working for them for 3 years, and got out. She said exactly same things.
3 to 5 k? where? lol not in emirates
I could show you my paystubs? 😅 depends on your rank and counting live out allowance.
@@amindfulnomad ah ! That makes a difference. But if you live in accommodation… sorry I never got a 3 k salary in emirates .
@@sofs994 it also depends on your contract. When did you join? I know that more recent contracts have lower base salaries. I made 11-12k dhs most months when I was gr2 and gr1 (and flying 120 hs per month). Then it became much more when I made it to supervisor.
V want spicy nasty stories 😂😅😅
Hahah I've got tons of those 👀 coming up next month!
😮😮😢😢😢😂
No
Straight to the point 🤣

👀
Driving is f’ing scary there
In Dubai?
Poor People and cabin crew who had to work with americans how annoying to hear that accent when travelling.
What an incredibly xenophobic comment 👀 Happy to watch your UA-cam channel so we can all hear your gorgeous accent. Oh wait: you don’t have one 🤣
What is your problem?
I THINK SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL SPEAKING VOICE!
I love. Love. Love how you delivered this message to all cabin crew wannabes out there who would love to join Emirates and while I was one of them 9 years ago trying to get into emirates went to almost 6 open days barely making it to 3rd stages because I thought that that was my only dream. Long story short 10 years later I am now employed by Emirates as a groundstaff but based in Europe. Safe to say that I live my best life now looking back I can definitely see why I didn’t get into Emirates cabin crew because I meant to be here where I am now. But shout out for those of you who want to be a cabin crew for Emirates yes join us but know what you signed up for. Exactly what she said write it down on your journal. Write it on a piece of paper. Know what you signed up for! This is a very demanding job, not for the fainthearted 🎉❤ good luck everyone xx
Wonderful video! Honestly, ever since I read that article about the flight attendant weight thing, Emirates has sounded off putting to me. How accurate was that situation and does the UAE not have laws protecting individuals from that?
Hey! I'll be honest though: the weight thing happens in most Middle-Eastern/Asian airlines. Emirates wasn't so strict, but now I'm hearing they are. Working on a video about the weight and image incidents for next month!
@@amindfulnomad Okay, can’t wait!
