I was cabin crew in the Middle East for 5 years and left 10 years ago and many of these questions made me giggle as I would get asked the same things over and over. What you said about loneliness is true. Most people don’t realise how lovely the job can be as you’re constantly tired and don’t always have the energy to go out. It’s not a rockstar lifestyle at all. You’re constantly dealing with jet lag and being ill too. You also miss family events and it’s difficult to create relationships with people because of the lifestyle. I’m grateful for the opportunity as I travelled the world, but I’m happier now being in a “normal” lifestyle. Well done for being so honest Sophie!
I’m so glad you can relate to what I’m saying, makes me think I’m not the only one who deals with it ☺️ I’m so great full for the life I have but also very excited to see that is in store for the future 🤍 & thank you, I really do want my videos to come across as honest and real 🤍
@@SophieFayHart Oh I absolutely get it and many cabin crew go through the same emotions. It’s a bit different in the Gulf as you’re away from loved ones and the culture is so different. You’ll know when it’s time for a new chapter, but in the meantime enjoy the ride. The experience taught me a lot about the world and those lessons I still value ❤️
I can‘t tell you how much your videos mean to me. I work as a teacher - full time - and I was surprised how similar our lives are. I‘m surrounded by hundreds of people during my working hours , but at the weekends I just crash with exhaustion. And I basically don‘t talk to anyone the whole weekend. Your videos are so light hearted and inspiring. Thanks so much.❤
Another fantastic video Sophie! Thank you. Please make more “assumptions” videos ‘coz people need to know what us as crew have to face on a regular basis. Fatigue & loneliness are a very real part of this job!!! Fly safe. ✈️
Hi Sophie, This was a great Video and your answers were honest and interesting. I'm sure it can be quite lonely at times especially when your tired and maybe trips out with other crew might not happen but being able to have a chat with your family I'm sure will make you feel better. Stay safe.
I am going to go as far as to say that people that think flight attendants are uneducated are very ignorant. My daughter was a flight attendant for quite sometime, she holds a degree and masters in psychology. Loving your vlogs as always Sophie 🙌 ❤️
Absolutely 💯 My daughter worked for a UK major airline. The training was so intense. I don't think people realise how much responsibility there is to your work. People's lives are in your hands whilst you are 40,000 feet in the air 💕
8:23 rather than saying you need to be more selfish (which sounds negative), maybe you could say that you need to become better at establishing boundaries (which is positive/empowering). ❤
Great video..I can imagine how lonely it must be. But you always have your you tube family to keep you company ❤ If you are looking for cases I love my Rimowa ones...The more use they get they look even better..😁
Hey Soph, how are you? Lovely listening to your answers to all those questions,great knowing you and knowing more about you. I got to say you almost never look sick except for the cold sores 😅😅. Thank you for sharing this. Have a blessed week ahead ❤
Do you ever get problems with your ears and sinuses when you are «sick» and have a cold combined with flying? I had to quit my CC job because of pain everytime I worked😢
By the way Soph the one thing i can say is that you follow rules and have boundaries and dont overshare whilst you work. Prob why you lasted so long because you are a rule follower and comply.
My cousin Betty had to have a degree she had a masters, stewardess for Pan Am in the 1960's, found her husband on a flight. Talked one of our younger second cousin's into becoming a flight attendant. She has been dating the same Pilot for years now. So no one the dumb.
@@SophieFayHart Oh ok. Just a quick question. I am really wanting to be cabin crew for EK, so I am just getting some more Hospitality Experience. I am turning 21 in August this year - when would you recommend applying? Am I even able to apply and attend the open day before I turn 21? Thanks Sophie
Hi Sophie!❤️✨ I have a question about life as cabin crew. My boyfriend and I are planning to become flight attendants, but everyone says it would be very difficult. Do you think is impossible to have a relationship with another cabin crew?😅 (even if you live together)
Assumptions aye ! SFH , I was listening carefully & noticed u were asked about where u would live after EK . Before I make any assumptions myself I just want 2 be clear I fully respect ur privacy & ur NOT obliged 2 answer my question here goes . In a previous vlog u were asked about u plans 2 have ur own family I put it 2 u if u found the right partner presumably in Dubai and let's say they would like 2 live somewhere warmer like the canaries ( 🇪🇸 ) would u be willing 2 do it or would that too much 4 U ? Christy 🇮🇪/🇵🇹 👍
Its a good question which I get asked more than you think so I will give you my answer ☺️ Ive always planned on going back to the UK when im finished with my job/Dubai. if I was to meet someone from a different country or wanting to settle in a different country it would take a lot for me to do this, and I would have to be 100% this person was for me, as with having children I want them to be surrounded by family (like I was growing up)☺️
Hi there , When I mentioned that u might meet someone from Dubai I was referring to somebody who was working with Emirates and was from Northern europe . After enjoying their time in a sunny climate they might want to continue that life-style in a warmer place .
I loved this video as I learned so much about you wish I knew were i could of submitted questions 😔 I honestly don’t get the media bias on Dubai but the women seem to be treated better than ever i found the separate train sections for different genders the hardest to get my head round but with Dubai mall I actually saw a women get pulled for not covering up her shoulders so your so correct. It’s good to have learned about how you get paid my first time to Dubai was bit annoying looking back as one the passengers died on the plane coming back to Manchester so was delayed in which at the time I was going to the Abu Dhabi F1 so i missed part of which was frustrating by wasn’t anyones fault I honestly love watching your channel because with coming to Dubai again in September for my birthday I get to learn new things from you so thank you Your such a wonderful person Sophie never change 🤍🤍

I think you meant „lonely“ not „lovely“!

Fly safe. ✈️
It was such a fun video! im defiantly going to film more and show what we go though each flight ☺️

It really does! having facetime reallt does make it so easy to speak to them now so they are always their for me 🥰

We really are so smart! People look an see a ‘waitress in the sky’ but if you actually look at what we do it’s SOOOO much more! ☺️🤍
Absolutely 💯 My daughter worked for a UK major airline. The training was so intense. I don't think people realise how much responsibility there is to your work. People's lives are in your hands whilst you are 40,000 feet in the air 💕
@@SophieFayHart You deal with rude customers that they think they own the airline with their silly color coded cards.
8:23 rather than saying you need to be more selfish (which sounds negative), maybe you could say that you need to become better at establishing boundaries (which is positive/empowering). ❤
This is such a nice way of looking at it 🤍 Thats it, from now on im setting new boundaries 🥰
Great video Sophie! My assumption if you do another video - you get paid a food allowance on a layover. xx
Thank you!! 🤍 will add it to the new list ☺️
Well done with your answers to some pretty stupid question/assumptions. Also found some of them a bit rude, but as I said did well with your answers.
Most assumptions about cabin crew are rude but I guess thats what makes it a 'fun' video to film ☺️
Great video..I can imagine how lonely it must be. But you always have your you tube family to keep you company ❤ If you are looking for cases I love my Rimowa ones...The more use they get they look even better..😁
This is very true! We have a great community here on RUclips so I always have this 🤍 Ohhh, I cant say no to a new phone case 😂 Ill give them a look x
It is such a pleasure to watching you on screen. So beautiful and meaningful❤
Thank you so much!🤍
Hey Soph, how are you?
Lovely listening to your answers to all those questions,great knowing you and knowing more about you. I got to say you almost never look sick except for the cold sores 😅😅.
Thank you for sharing this. Have a blessed week ahead ❤
😂 Ive defiantly learnt to not show my sickness unless it is really bad. Its not something I just get on with ☺️ Have a nice weekend x
@@SophieFayHart Thank you. Same to you dear ❤️
Hi Sophie, enjoy your videos.
Can you do a travel suitcase/items recommend when traveling video? I think that would be interesting. ✈️🧳
I will add the video idea to my list, thank you ☺️
12:00 this is true 🥲 you feel more tired and sleepy all the time when in Dubai on days off.
Im glad im not the only one who has this 😂
Loved your assumption video Sophie ❤❤xx
Thank you 🤍🥰
Do you ever get problems with your ears and sinuses when you are «sick» and have a cold combined with flying? I had to quit my CC job because of pain everytime I worked😢
I do every now an then. When I started flying I suffered really badly with my ears not equalising but now I kind of have it under control ☺️
Thanks for this vlog. Fly safe. You have an amazing week. Ciao 2023.
Have a lovely weekend
This was a great, fun video!
Glad you enjoyed the video 🥰
I've never understood why cabin crew don't get paid for boarding and cleaning time. Seems incredibly unfair to me
By the way Soph the one thing i can say is that you follow rules and have boundaries and dont overshare whilst you work. Prob why you lasted so long because you are a rule follower and comply.
Cute video idea! 😊
Thank you ☺️
With all due respect, Sophie, how do you know you can deliver a baby? Can you deliver a baby safely? How many babies have you personally delivered?
With all due respect, I don’t talk about what happens on flights. All you need to know is I’ve seen new life and old life
My cousin Betty had to have a degree she had a masters, stewardess for Pan Am in the 1960's, found her husband on a flight. Talked one of our younger second cousin's into becoming a flight attendant. She has been dating the same Pilot for years now. So no one the dumb.
🤍🤍🤍 you can’t put everyone in a box, we all from different background and life experiences. We are all unique ☺️
Hi Sophie, like how much per hour in Emirates?
The truth finally comes out, FA’s control the weather. 🤣🤣🤣
I thought that assumption was hilarious 🤣
😂😂😂 I knew that one would get people ⛈️
For my work my computer keyboard has a secret function key known as “insert miracle”.
Im an Ea executive assistant usually personal assistant or secretary in Sydney whilst u do as best as you can why do cc need to glorify their jobs .
Hey Sophie!!! ❤😊
Hello👋🏼☺️
Do you get an extra allowance, since you live in your own apartment and not crew?
I do get extra allowance ☺️
@@SophieFayHart Oh ok. Just a quick question. I am really wanting to be cabin crew for EK, so I am just getting some more Hospitality Experience. I am turning 21 in August this year - when would you recommend applying? Am I even able to apply and attend the open day before I turn 21?

Hi Sophie!❤️✨
I have a question about life as cabin crew.
My boyfriend and I are planning to become flight attendants, but everyone says it would be very difficult.
Do you think is impossible to have a relationship with another cabin crew?😅 (even if you live together)
It is possible but its a BIG challenge! Working different schedules, being in different time zones etc but people make it work ☺️ Best of luck x
