But becoming an air hostess is not child’s play so if you dream to become one you need to understand that your job is not only to look beautiful and glamorous you need to perform many responsibilities as the position demands. Today In this blog, I am going to discuss the things you must know about Airhostess training before you opt for it.

→ The minimum qualification required to opt for any air hostess training courses is clearing of 10+2 examinations in any stream from any recognized board and need to possess exceptional communication skills especially speaking. You must be proficient in speaking English because you will communicate with various people belonging to different countries and cultures. Knowing another international language other than English is an extra added advantage.
→ Your age should be between 18- 26 years and must be unmarried. Skin complexion has nothing to do but your height should be a minimum of 5 feet .2 inches and your weight needs to be proportionate to your height. You need to be physically fit, have very good eyesight, and an attractive personality.
→ Air hostesses need to have a very pleasing personality with a very polite and pleasant voice. Also, you must have the presence of mind to deal with tricky situations. You should be a perfect team player as there will be around 12- 14 members working alongside you.
→ You always have to cater to the needs of the passengers with a broad smile on your face and ensure every passenger is comfortable. You will often get unruly passengers who may scream and shout at you but you need to deal with them in a very calm and composed manner and always with a broad smile.
→ Also whether you work with domestic airlines or an international one, emergencies can crop up any time and for that, you need to prepare yourself well mentally. The air hostess training colleges and institutes will train you very well in dealing with such situations, but you also need to prepare yourself. It is very common for airplanes to face some sort of turbulence mid-air but sometimes they are very rough and severe and most of the passengers feel scared. You need to assure them with a reassuring smile that the condition will pass soon and there is nothing to worry about.
 → Your job will not have any fixed hours or schedules and will not be able to meet your dear family for 2-3 days or maybe 6-7 days (if you work with international airways). Prepare yourself well for this.

The above mentioned are some of the main points which you must keep in mind if you want to become an air hostess and soar high with success.
