Being a flight attendant is thought by many to be one of the most glamorous jobs in the world, although the truth is that there is a lot of training and hard work before you are allowed to work as a flight crew. In the past, there were rules about the age and attractiveness of the so-called trolley dollies, although employment legislation now means that anyone can apply and be employed to work as cabin crew – even men! That doesn’t mean that there isn’t still a sexy flight attendant traveling the skies today. Uniforms may be more modest and demure than they used to be back in the 1960s and 1970, but airlines still like to employ pretty young women to serve on their planes.
Here is our list!
No matter where you are flying, flight attendants always look hot, cute, and elegant. It all adds to the overall experience. Whether you are flying for fun or business, having a sexy flight attendant walking up and down the aisle can’t hurt.
20. Short Skirts Hot pants may be a thing of the past, but plenty of airlines still insist that their flight attendants wear short, figure-hugging skirts along with their high heels while they work. Not an ideal combination for a job that requires a lot of standing on your feet for hours on end, but at least the girls in the cabin crew will still look good at the end of their shift.
19. Private Crew If the most exclusive way to fly is on a private jet, then it goes without saying that they are also the best places to work as a flight attendant – fewer customers to deal with, although they might be a bit more demanding! Companies that operate private jets can afford to only hire the best-looking girls for their flights.
18. Beauty Contest Asian airlines have a particular reputation for only hiring the hottest girls to work on their flights. In fact, the agencies who carry out their recruitment have been known to go to extraordinary lengths to find girls to work as flight attendants, including beauty contests where candidates have to appear in their bikinis as well as in the company uniform.
17. Blonde Ambition The stereotypical image of an air stewardess may be a buxom blonde, but you are just as likely to spot some sexy brunettes on your flight as well. The one thing blondes and brunettes have in common are that they all need to tie their hair back, and not have it dangling into any food or drinks they are serving.
16. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun It may be hard work, being a flight attendant, but there are some major perks. Not only do you get to travel the world, and if your shifts work out the right way, even spend some time in some of the most famous cities in the world but you also have the chance to get up close and personal with planes.
15. Appearance Rules Tying up your hair isn’t the only rule that flight attendants have to follow. There are also guidelines on whether cabin crew can have tattoos or piercings, with tattoos in visible locations strictly forbidden; stewardesses even have to wear under-shirts of their tattoo is visible through the white shirts worn by flight attendants on certain airlines.
14. Make It Up Some airlines even insist that their air stewardesses only wear make-up in colors that match their uniforms, and while female cabin crew have to wear some make-up, the rules also say that they can go too far and wear too much. Guys might like girls who wear a lot of make-up, but it’s not very practical when you’re trying to work.
13. Airline Advertisements Modern adverts for airlines are more likely to feature happy customers and glamorous shots of their destinations, but back in the 1960s and 1970s, one of the most effective ways to sell seats on an airline was to show male customers (those who usually paid for tickets) that they could expect to have a sexy flight attendant waiting on them hand and foot.
12. White Hot Russian Modern cabin crew may not wear hot pants and boots, but that doesn’t mean that their more modest outfits can’t be sexy. Even a short skirt, a blouse, and a blazer can look pretty hot when the woman wearing it is as attractive as the Aeroflot flight attendant pictured in the image above.
11. Viral Fame A Malaysian air hostess on Air Asia even found viral fame on social media, after a passenger posted photos online that he had taken of her while she was working. Mabel Goo’s image was shared thousands of times around the world, with her own Instagram account racking up thousands of new fans after the images were shared.
10. Welcome Aboard Flight attendants are the first people that passengers see when they board an airplane, so it is hardly surprising that airlines want to hire the best-looking people to work on their flights – put your best foot forward, even if those feet are in uncomfortable high heeled shoes for the duration of the journey.
9. Smile Please! Airlines may no longer be able to discriminate against employing unattractive people as they used to in the good old days (although most seem to find a way to only hire pretty girls) but they can at least insist that their staff keep smiling, no matter how rude or obnoxious the passengers may be.
8. Not Just A Pretty Face Male passengers may be happy to see pretty flight attendants on their plane, but they should be more concerned as to whether their cabin crew knows what to do in the event of an emergency. Learning to be a trolley dolly is much more than serving drinks; flight attendants also need to be experts in airplane safety.
7. Strike A Pose A lot of flight attendants started out wanting to work in modeling, but for one reason or another, never quite managed to make it in their chosen career. Luckily for them, they get the undivided attention of the men on every plane they serve and also get the chance to strike a pose in some unique environments.
6. Downtime While there are restrictions on how many hours flight attendants can work in a 24-hour period, cabin crew who work for budget airlines can often find themselves serving on several flights in one day, with little time for a break between. It seems that cabin crew has to take their breaks where and when they can if they want to stay looking their best.
5. Occupational Hazard Getting into the cabin crew business is a tough call in itself in many parts of Asia, and then once the girls start working there is evidence that the prettiest among them can often find themselves the victims of harassment. Sometimes they are even bullied by their co-workers, and yet thousands of beautiful young girls sign up for these jobs every year.
4. Traditional Touches Many Asian and Middle Eastern airlines may prize beauty above many other qualities, but they also like to retain some links to their heritage through aspects of traditional costume in their uniforms. The Vietnamese stewardesses wearing bikinis and sarongs in this image were only doing so for an inaugural flight, but traditional costumes often add to the allure of the cabin crew.
3. Hot Pants Style Flight attendants today tend to be dressed in skirts or pants, but in 1972 Southwest Airlines dressed their stunning cabin crew in hot pants and knee-high boots. A fashionable 1970s look, but also one that lived up to the company’s credo that sex sells seats and one that proved popular with male customers.
2. Mile High Club Part of the attraction of flight attendants is the myth of the Mile High Club, and the idea men have that they might be able to seduce an attractive member of the cabin crew. They are more likely to try and stop passengers from engaging in their own fun, but cabin crew obviously like to play around themselves when the plane isn’t in the air.
1. One For The Girls It isn’t just male passengers that get to enjoy a bit of eye candy when they take a flight these days. More and more airlines are also hiring male flight attendants, like the muscle-bound hunk in this photo, to serve the needs of their customers – much to the delight of the female passengers on board!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why are all flight attendants hot?
The reason why many individuals 'believe' that most cabin workers out there are attractive is because the airlines have manufactured the illusion. All crew members receive some sort of grooming, image, or outfit training as part of the cabin crew training.
Do flight attendants sleep?
On lengthy flights, flight attendants are given pauses to refuel and maintain energy. They can take power naps in their individual bedrooms. Passengers are not aware of these bedrooms. They may be concealed behind a hidden staircase or even accessible through a hatch that resembles an ordinary overhead bin.
Can I ask flight attendant to wake me up?
If you choose to sleep during the journey, many flight attendants won't wake you up very much. However, you can request to be awakened for the meal. Inform them at the beginning of the flight so you can sleep without interruptions.
What is the cut off age to be a flight attendant?
Many people are seeking second careers as flight attendants because there is no age restriction, and they are gratefully accepted due to their experience and degree of maturity. Never assume you are too elderly to apply for a job as a flight attendant.
