If you want to go duty free shopping, Dubai is pretty spectacular. We've got our own terminal for Emirates, and it's huge. We don't really go to any dodgy airports, but I guess some of the smaller ones in Africa just don't have much there. Places like Accra and Nairobi. They just don't have as much to offer as other airports. I love shopping, and Dubai has great shopping.
My favourite spot is Dubai Mall, which has got shops. There's also some nice restaurants in Dubai, so we usually go out for dinner. Cabin crew on planes always seem to look calm, even in heavy turbulence. Do you ever worry about safety?
I think it's because our training is so in-depth. We have live simulators in Dubai, which is exactly like a plane. So they give you [emergency] scenarios in there and you have to react to them. You'll have to do firefighting I guess it makes you more relaxed when you have to deal with it in real life. We practice evacuations, going down the slides, rejected take-offs and landings We do learn how to deal with those types of passengers.
It happens on the odd occasion, people like to have a couple of drinks. But we have procedures and they do work. Yeah I do! It doesn't bother me. I've never really had a bad flight, our flights are always really smooth.
So it doesn't really scare me, I find it really interesting. And now, over to you, readers - would you ever want to work as cabin crew? Which airline has the best hosties?

The Covid pandemic hit the global aviation industry hard last year and led to airlines grounding aircraft, cutting jobs and slashing salaries. However, the reopening of economies globally, the easing of pandemic-induced travel restrictions and accelerated vaccination programmes are leading to a rebound in travel demand.
Emirates has released a behind-the-scenes look at how its latest gravity-defying campaign was filmed. Like many other major airlines around the world, Emirates took steps to slash costs and conserve cash by reducing staff wages, cutting jobs , and offering cabin crew voluntary unpaid leave to cope with the fallout from the pandemic.
But the airline has gradually restored its operations in line with the easing of travel restrictions around the world. In recent months it has recalled pilots, cabin crew and other operational employees who were stood down when the pandemic forced a drastic reduction in flights last year. The company provides free transport to and from the airport and hotel accommodation. When may I apply for concessional travel?

To qualify for the full profit share, you must have been employed for the complete period, 1st April to 31st March.
