Insider Stories: Flight Attendants’ Eye-Opening Air Travel Facts

#7: Cleaning Time

This list is quickly making me reevaluate my previous dreams of becoming a flight attendant. It’s not enough that you’re babysitting and serving drinks to passengers on the flight; apparently, you’re also cleaning up after them during the quick turnaround between one flight and the next.

Personally, I always assumed that they had some kind of cleaning crew doing that. If I were a flight attendant, I’d be a little frustrated that even once the plane landed, I didn’t get any kind of break between one flight and the next. You would imagine they could use some rest!
