How To Become A Flight Attendant

What is the Maximum Age to Become a Flight Attendant?

Airlines have found that mature candidates generally possess a good work ethic and are very reliable.  There is no age limit for flight attendant applicants.  As long as you are physically able to effectively perform the duties of a flight attendant, you are eligible for hire.  We have had many students who have been hired that are in their 50’s and 60’s.  Airlines know that the life experience “seasoned” individuals bring to the job enables them to handle difficult situations and that they generally have a good work ethic, are very reliable and stable!

What are the requirements to enter your course?

We require that you meet the basic flight attendant requirements as listed in the link on the first page of our website.

  • You must be 18 years old by the time you attend our class; while there are a few airlines that hire 18-year-olds, most airlines require that you be 19, 20 or even 21 years old, and it can be challenging for us to place you if you are not flexible. 
  • There is no maximum age requirement; only that you are able to perform the duties of a flight attendant. 
  • Flight attendant training demands stamina, flexibility and dependability as well as good test-taking skills. 

As it is pricey and time consuming to train each flight attendant to the exceptional standards of airlines, we would like to ask you to carefully consider all that is involved in fulfilling the commitment required in becoming a flight attendant.  The training, although reasonable and achievable for most applicants, can be a challenge and is filled with long hours of hard work.  In the months following training, you may be further challenged with long hours, erratic schedules, and dealing with a wide range of unpredictable personalities and situations.  This is a wonderfully rewarding career, but is not for everyone.  If present circumstances or situations in your life would prevent you from giving 100% to an airline, we would encourage you to reconsider a flight attendant career.

Can you Guarantee Me a Job?

ABSOLUTELY NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE YOU A JOB!
Do not get involved in any program where you are told there is a guarantee for employment.  If someone tells you this, they are obviously running a scam and cannot help you; there is positively no way anyone can determine how you will perform in an interview, no matter how much information you get.  But we come as close as anyone can in guaranteeing success.  We give you the tools you need to succeed, so it’s up to you as to how determined you are to do what is necessary to achieve your goals.  You MUST study and you MUST practice the suggestions we give you, and you MUST pursue applying to airlines and going to your interviews.  It is also necessary that you have very good command of the English language also, due to the fact that airline terminology is very technical.  Skybound Training can, however, GUARANTEE YOU AN INTERVIEW, as you will have the opportunity to interview with the airlines that attend our classes each month, as well as other airlines in which you are interested.  Most of our students get hired while they are here.
