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.

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!

We absolutely do help with placement! Placement assistance is a MAJOR part of our program.

We provide interviews with recruiters while you are here, and if you are interested in working for any airlines other than those who attend our classes, we help you set up interviews with any other airlines for which you are interested in working.  We will contact airlines for you and refer you as one of our students. You are also given a referral letter from our staff and a Certificate of Completion as part of your graduation packet.  You can make copies of the letter and take them with you to any airline interviews you attend.  The name of Flight Attendant Express is widely recognized and respected among airline recruiters.  Airlines appreciate receiving our students because they know they have a higher chance of successfully completing their initial flight attendant training.  Everyone wants you to succeed - AIRLINES save money hiring people who are successful in training; WE want you to succeed because it shows that we are doing things right, and YOU naturally want to succeed in your new career!

In one part of this website it says you have to be at least within 3 months of turning 19 to take the course, but in the Minimum Requirements section it says you only have to be 18.  Which is correct?
The minimum age requirement for a flight attendant is 18, but you must be 3 months shy of 19 to take OUR course, because only 2 airlines are hiring 18-year-olds right now, because they are too difficult to place.  There are several others that hire 18-year-olds – North American, Mesa, Commuter Air, Colgan, Midwest and Mesaba.  You will not be eligible to interview with any airlines  that have a higher age requirement.

The things that set us apart from all the others include: 

• Meeting with you personally so we can accurately evaluate what you need to do in order to succeed.
• The ability to contact us at any time during office hours to speak with one of our highly skilled instructors.
• All of our instructors have previous flight attendant experience and also have a background in flight attendant recruiting.
• Recruiters from different airlines come to our classes to recruit our students, and you could even get hired while you are here!

Nothing compares to the hands-on treatment you will receive at Flight Attendant Express.  We take exceptional care to give the very best customer service and attention to our students with attention to detail and support.

Our classes are held in Orlando, Florida, at the Wingate Inn near the Orlando International Airport.  We do not provide our program in other cities, as we want to closely simulate airline school to our students and in airline school student have to go to the airline’s home base to attend training.  Many of our students have never been away from home for any period of time so it is our aim to have them experience this before going away to airline school for several weeks.  We feel that classes are much more effective than online courses, because we can work with you in person and are also able to make a referral for you, to airlines.
