BA normally advertise cabin crew positions on their dedicated recruitment website. www.britishairwaysjobs.com If there are no jobs advertised it just means that they are not recruiting just now.There is also an online application form.

Why not check out other airlines. BA is certainly not the best. Emirates Singapore Virgin JAL should also be considered. You can find their website just by doing a search on the internet.

Working as a member of our Cabin Crew is not so much a job as a way of life. In many ways it's a privileged life, with opportunities to visit places and experience cultures that are beyond most people's reach.

Whatever we say, we'll never convince some people that working in Cabin Crew isn't all about jetting around the world and staying in exotic hotels. The truth is, it's about delivering outstanding customer service in all conditions. At its most fundamental level, we are responsible for passenger safety in the cabin. Beyond that, crews share a common goal - to see British Airways customers walk away at the end of a flight contented.

We're not about to deny that the job has its glamorous elements. The work's exciting, the social life can be great fun, and wherever our crew travel they are always well looked after. However, it can also be an exhausting and disorientating lifestyle that places tough demands on family and social commitments.

It's certainly not for anyone who craves routine. A key element of our Cabin Crew strategy is that crew are expected to be totally flexible as to where they are based and which routes they fly. It can be difficult to plan ahead, and you'll find yourself working with a different team almost every time you report for duty.

The day begins with the crew briefing, where the team meet up, often for the first time, and the Cabin Services Director (CSD) goes over the flight. Crew are assigned to cabins, and any modifications to the aircraft or schedule are discussed before everyone boards the bus to take them to the aircraft.

From then on it's non-stop action. Going over safety procedures, checking equipment in the cabin, making sure there are enough meals on board the list goes on. By now the passengers are beginning to board. On a short flight there are a huge number of tasks that have to be completed within tight timescales, from safety demonstrations to meals and duty free. On longer sectors other challenges, like restless children or jetlag, will test your ability to handle the pressure.

Approximately 13,500 Cabin Crew work for British Airways. The vast majority are based at Heathrow and Gatwick, with further teams at Manchester and Glasgow. In addition, we have International Cabin Crew based at strategic overseas locations such as Buenos Aires, Delhi and Bahrain. The aim here is to provide customers travelling these routes with local crew who have first hand knowledge of their language and culture.

Almost all interviews and assessments take place at The Rivers, our purpose-built recruitment centre at Cranebank, just outside Heathrow.

Visitor parking at Cranebank is limited, and a British Airways courtesy bus, the BA4, runs to and from Hatton Cross Underground Station every ten minutes. You should aim to be at Hatton Cross at least half an hour before your appointment.

When you arrive, you will be greeted by our reception staff, who will confirm who you'll be seeing, where and when. You will always be informed in advance of the format your assessment will take.

The Rivers is located at the address below. To help you find the building we have also included this map.

You can't get a work visa without a job waiting for you. Telling them you're a dropout with poor English is not likely going to impress them. This is a joke, right ? You can't even work at a McDonalds without being able to read, write, and speak Japanese as well as a Japanese...As the other poster noted, Thailand would be a better bet.

There should be a contact us link in the website where you could ask them hove to aply. Otherwise try to call them at your local (or international airport) and ask this question politely. I dont know wether or not they demand that employes should be from great britain. Otherwise, good luck! Johan
