So, go for it! - Get in touch with the airline you would like to work for and fill out an application.

Answer 2

The requirements for becoming a flight attendant are not as demanding or strict as they used to be. Most airlines require that you be at least 19 years of age, weight proportionate to height and have some customer service experience i.e., hotel, restaurant. More than likely, you will attend an open call to the particular airline that is hiring, they are usually held at hotels near the airport or at the actual airport where you will be flying out of. These "open calls" begin promptly at the designated time, do not be late, as they will deny entry and dress very professionally.

Answer 3

I think nowadays most big airlines require that you speak at least two languages fluently. (Usually English and the language where the airline is based ie. Italian for Italian Air)
They also require that you have no visible tattoos, piercings or other body art.
The best thing to do is to go to the website of airlines that you might be interested in working for. Most of them you can even apply for an interview online.
You might have to start with the smaller airlines just to get some experience though.

Answer 4

no you have to attend classes nowadays, there a couple schools in so. Ca. but in LA not san diego, check out some community colleges or call the airline and ask them directly what kind of training they require.

Answer 5

You have to be able to have a perma-smile and say "Bye bye now" over and over again with different intonations.
You can't be too fat.
You have to be okay with working with gay men.
You've had some college education and are a fast learner? You're already over qualified

Answer 6

I think it is actually very cool job.. you'll get to travel a lot, especially on international... pay is good(depends on your experience) + lots of hours.. but
I have to enjoy working with people ( all kinds of people), provide the best customer service and prepare to sometimes stressful workdays..
