Personal experience as a flight attendant


1. Passengers like to walk around during meal service
2. They like to get up from their seats and open the overhead compartments when we are at our landing seats
3. They like sticking parts of their body out in the isle when we are pushing carts
4. They quite frequently, accidentally, presses the call button
5. Like trying all the different cocktails served on board
6. Love in flight souvenirs
7. Like taking pictures with us
8. Love giving out their business card
9. Remembers our name and calls the hotel we are staying, and asks us out for lunch or dinner or drinks
10. Our colleagues could be tougher to manage as compared to passengers, especially when there is seniority politics
11. Kids love us :) *sweet*
12. We multitask - babysit, nanny, chef, bartender, cleaner, waitress, and the list goes on ;)
13. Not as glamorous as everyone thinks
14. We do get to go to different countries without paying because we work our way there
15. We don't have to queue outside clubs when we flash our crew ids
16. We get discounts on air tickets, at some restaurants and hotels
17. We get a free ticket every year, which we can give to our parents if we are not using them
18. We work on holidays and weekends and odd hours
19. Overnight flights are killers :)
20. We know a lot about safety and health measures
21. We go back for safety tests every year
22. Wr go through 3 months of training and tests before we start flying
23. We need to keep our weight and skin in check at all times
24. We have a way to tie our hair and put on our makeup, we have color codes to follow
25. We know a lot about cheese, wine and champagne, we takes classes
26. The pay is quite good! hahaha
