What A Day In The Life Of A Flight Attendant Is Really Like

Thousands of girls and boys dream of becoming flight attendants. The whole magical feeling of having a workplace up above the clouds  is what captivates most of our younger minds.
You need to realize that there’s a lot that happen behind those curtains before, during and after the flight.

A Day In The Life Of A Flight Attendant!

Typically the flight attendant will report at the airline’s dispatch building. The reporting time could be at 5:00 am. That means you may have to get out of bed at 3:00 am or earlier!
A Pre-Flight Briefing is conducted before every single flight. The Flight Purser (supervisor) will discuss the expectations and delegate duties for the flight. It’s like a play and everyone will have a role in this theatrical performance.







Flight attendants then board the plane and make sure all safety standards are in place. They make sure all service equipment are working. They also prepare all the food and beverages for the passengers.

 

You should know that it’s not uncommon that crew members may not have time to sit at all throughout an entire flight – hence the phrase, we walked to London!

After landing and passengers are off, the crew does a post-flight check for any lost-and-found items and to see if everything is in order for the next crew who is taking the plane back to base.
At the very end of our duty (which may be a non-stop 12-hour duty or more) we get on a bus ready to head to our hotel rooms where we will just crash onto our beds!
