What Happens When Your Flight Attendant Base Is Far From Home?

What happens when you’re hired as a flight attendant, but your assigned base is nowhere near home? In this video, I break down the real options: moving to your base, commuting by air, staying in hotels or Airbnbs, and using a crash pad. I’ll also share what I personally chose, what it cost me in time and energy, and why I eventually decided to move closer to my base. I interviewed at 49, began flight attendant training at 50, and have now spent nearly 13 years in aviation. My goal is to give second-career flight attendant candidates the practical, honest information I wish I had when I started.
