Every day, a flight attendant’s uniform becomes heavier and heavier as it absorbs new experiences, adventures, personalities, and even situations. They treasure each and every one of them, regardless of the circumstances. Fun layovers, irate passengers, and even having to make emergency landings all contributed to what they call the “joys of being a flight attendant.” Nobody likes emergency situations in the first place, but that’s what your cabin crew is trained for.
Every experience you gain contributes to the joy of being a flight attendant. Every day is unique. Every day, they cross items off their bucket list that they only fantasized about as a child.
Here are the joys of many flight attendants.
- Visiting historical sites. Those who do not understand how to look back at our history will never be able to get to where they want to go in the future. After visiting the locations described in their history books, many cabin crew members fell in love with everything!
- Breakfast in Sydney, followed by lunch in New York! Flight attendants must have discovered that the expression “breakfast and lunch in different countries” is true as they crossed timezones! Perhaps this is why people think their job is glamorous!
- Each passenger has a unique story. Many flight attendants have the opportunity to engage in light conversation with passengers. Cabin crew members learn a lot about their passengers’ cultures and traditions. It increases their appreciation for life and diversity.
- Working with different colleagues on a daily basis is not typical of a desk job. An airline typically employs thousands of cabin crew members, and it is exciting for them to work with new people every day. Whether the experience working with them was positive or negative, cabin crew members always look forward to it. Remember, this is where many of them met their better half.
- More often than not, flight attendants are on a staycation! They may fly for 15 to 16 hours, but then after, they are in a hotel room in a different country for free, usually for 24 hours or more! Typically, the longer the flight, the longer the layover, and for some cabin crew, it is a personal staycation!
- Shopping. Sorry, guys, it’s really a ladies’ thing, especially if you’re looking to sell something in a specific country. They occasionally sell branded items at rock-bottom prices, but these are all authentic!
- They are doing things they have never done before. Bungee jumping, skydiving, flying in a light aircraft, riding Six Flags’ roller coasters, and even eating Scorpions! To be honest, it’s a way for them to overcome their fears.
- Learning to communicate in different languages. It’s simple to use a translator, but I believe it’s preferable for some cabin crew members to learn a country’s language. Besides. It would make communication with passengers easier for them.
- The view from above is breathtaking! It soothes the heart. It demonstrates how beautiful our world is. Sunrises, sunsets, and the aurora borealis. Every day, this is what flight attendants see from their “office window”.
- They get to wear the world’s most beautiful uniforms. A flight attendant’s uniform is one of the most expensive uniforms available, costing more than other smart casual or semi formal types of dress. Airlines even commission top fashion designers to create them. While it is one of the most beautiful in the world, it is also one of the most difficult to obtain and earn.
The best views are always accompanied by the most difficult climbs.
Isn’t it enticing and lovely? However, becoming a flight attendant is a difficult task. It does not happen by chance or through magic. It takes determination, hard work, faith, and prayers to become a cabin crew member.
I hope this inspires you to pursue your flight attendant dreams even more. Not right now, but perhaps soon! Everything is up to you. When you arrive, you will be able to experience the joys of becoming a cabin crew member.
First love never dies. I fell in love with airplanes and aviation when I was a kid. My dream was to become a pilot, but destiny led me to another path: to be an aviation digital media content creator and a small business owner. My passion for aviation inspires me to bring you quality content through my website and social accounts. Aviation is indeed in my blood and blog!
