A Flight Attendant is a professional who is responsible for ensuring the safety, security, and comfort of passengers on board an airline.

You may work full-time or part-time, depending on the airline. Most airlines ensure flight attendants work no more than 12 hours a day, but international flights may require them to work longer.

They work in shifts because airlines operate day and night. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires flight attendants to have at least nine hours off between shifts.

The primary objective of flight attendants is to ensure passengers are safe and comfortable throughout their journey.  

They usher in passengers and check their tickets before accompanying them to their seats.

Flight attendants are also obliged to demonstrate how to use emergency and safety equipment, as well as providing beverages, meals, and snacks to passengers
