anyone any ideas? xx
Hi

My daughter is a Flight Attendant ( as they are now known) - for one of the major tour operators / carriers

She did a cousre at college - ( travel and tourism , if my memory serves me corerectly )
In the meantime she applied to the various airlines/ tour operators when they advertised in the press .
After quite a few dissapointments , she was sucessful in obtaining a place on a training course .

It is extremely competitive and you always get a lot of people applying for these places when they come up .
I recall one recruitment oppurtunity where there were about five vacancies and hundres of applications were received by the company .

The aforegoing might be one route to take , but be prepared for dissapointments - but keep trying .
As Berti indicates, the term 'air hostess' is no longer 'politically correct'. 'Flight attendant' or 'cabin crew' is used instead.

There's general information here:

Additionally, almost every UK airline (and overseas airlines with bases in the UK, such as Ryanair) will have a 'Careers' link somewhere within their web pages.
e.g. http://www.ryanair.com/site/EN/about.php?page= Jobs&sec=careers&ref=10003
