CabinCrew

I recently applied for cabin crew positions with Scandinavian Airlines in both Copenhagen and Stockholm. I was invited to attend an assessment day, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it. I was told I would be invited to the next one, but when I asked about upcoming dates...

Saw an unusual situation after a long haul flight from Europe to the US while waiting at baggage claim. At the carousel there was one young airport employee trying to manage the luggage, repositioning bags so the belt wouldn’t jam. The bags were coming out quickly and she was...

Flew Heathrow to JFK over New Year and back a week later, and honestly I’m shocked at how bad it was compared to a few years ago. Heathrow check-in was confusing and the BA staff were rude and unhelpful. On the outbound flight there was basically one drinks service the whole...

Flew SQ business from ICN to SGP and honestly the cabin crew experience was disappointing compared to what I usually expect. When my main was served, the crew asked if I wanted garlic bread but didn’t even wait for an answer before putting it on my plate. Then immediately asked...

Weird one from a transatlantic flight yesterday. The person sitting next to me had an Air France iPad that looked identical to what the crew uses. Same Air France wallpaper and everything. At one point she opened an app showing our exact flight and a roster of passengers,...

Flew Doha to Istanbul with Qatar on Jan 9 and the experience was very different from what I’m used to with them. Only one food and drink service, which was fine, but the crew vibe was just… off. Flight attendants looked upset, avoided eye contact, and generally seemed annoyed....

Flew Starlux within Asia recently and noticed the cabin crew were very strict during announcements. Every time there was turbulence or a PA, they had me fully unplug my headphones from the IFE. I get the safety side of it, but the screen already pauses and you can hear the...

I work in Guest Services onboard a cruise ship and figured I’d do another AMA since the last one was fun. Ask anything you’d normally ask at the Guest Services desk, minus the long line. Happy to answer questions about guest issues, policies, or what crew life is really like...

Couple weeks ago I flew a Chinese legacy carrier in economy. Most of the crew was great, but one male FA serving my row had this really aggressive vibe the whole time. He even yelled at me twice for no real reason. I just stayed quiet and let it happen, but it definitely threw...

Had a strange one on my EWR–ORD flight today. Gate agent said they were “checking all carry-ons” without even looking, tagged mine even though it had my CPAP and medical stuff inside. Tried to explain, no luck. At the door, FA said if it’s tagged it has to go below… so I just...
