Just flew back from France on Easy Jet. How many flights a shift do the cabin crew do?

Like someone already said Cabin Crew work on hours depending on how early or late they start in a day.
I used to work short haul which was short flights to Europe from the UK. If I started before 6am I could only work around 8 hours so I would usually do 2 sectors (there and back) or sometimes 3 with a stopover in a hotel. The longest day I ever worked was 17 hours when I started at 8am.
I didn't work for a lo cost airline though and I'm sure they work 5/6 sectors a day.
I now do Long Haul and I do 1 sector a day. I will say fly to Miami stay there for 2 days then fly back, I can also stay over for 3 days, 4 days, 6 days and 7 days depending on where I fly to.
I hope this helps.

Some companies work them like dogs. I've heard of 6 short hops a day and I had coworkers who worked charter. London-Tel Aviv's they used to do (about 5 1/2 hours) round trip in one day. Two full meal services, duty free...yikes!

Depends how far each flight is - they work on hours, not distance.

I should reckon four or five short haul a couple medium haul and one long haul.
