The new generation of flight attendants no longer waits for you to board the plane. They are waiting for you in your feed.
They film the suites of the global elite, reveal uncomfortable truths about airplane hygiene and show, without filters, what life looks like when you wake up in a different country every day. So before you book your next ticket, here are several accounts worth following, even if you are currently in pajamas on the couch. Fasten your seat belts. We are taking off.
Hayden: serving the wealthiest population
Hayden Brax, 26, is a private aviation flight attendant based in New York. She entered the field in 2025 after two years working on luxury yachts in Miami, seeking financial stability in one of the world’s most expensive cities. Today she works for a company operating private jets, offering a rare glimpse into a world with no ‘passengers’, only VIP clients. She lives the lifestyle most people see only in movies, serving the ultra-wealthy aboard lavish aircraft.
Brax also speaks openly about money. Unlike commercial flight attendants paid by the hour, she told People she earns a fixed salary that can start in the six figures, along with full benefits, allowing her to live comfortably in Manhattan. On TikTok and Instagram, she shares behind-the-scenes content, from generous tips to room tours of jets with fully equipped kitchens and luxury interiors.

Bárbara: the flight attendant who forbids clapping on landing
Bárbara Bacchieri, known online as BarbieBac, is an Argentine flight attendant who has built a content empire with 4.8 million TikTok followers. She is famous for busting aviation myths, especially her campaign against the common habit of applauding when a plane lands.
In a viral video, Bacchieri explained that the clapping is not about style or manners but safety. Until the aircraft comes to a complete stop, issues can still arise and the crew must stay fully alert, not distracted by background noise. The pilots, she notes, cannot hear the applause anyway behind the reinforced cockpit door. She knows how to turn small moments from a flight into addictive content, with a strong presence on Instagram and YouTube that has made her one of the world’s best-known flight attendants.

Amanda: life inside one of the world’s most luxurious airlines
Amanda King is an Australian flight attendant with Emirates who documents her life on YouTube. Her content blends flights, destinations and a daily routine that is not always as glamorous as it sounds. She stands out for viewers who prefer long-form "day in the life" videos rather than quick 15-second clips.
What sets King apart is continuity. Her channel feels like a series with recurring characters, including herself, her crew and the destinations. It offers an immersive sense of what the job is really like, appealing both to those who dream of flying for a living and to the simply curious.

Naomi: the Israeli flight attendant who teaches you how to fly smarter
Naomi Edri is a flight attendant with Israir who has become a prominent Israeli voice on "life in the air." But do not expect only sunset photos from airplane windows. Edri focuses on practical advice. Her videos, with hundreds of thousands of views on TikTok and YouTube, tackle everyday questions: How do you pack properly? How do you protect your skin on flights? How do you make economy class more bearable?
Unlike accounts focused on coffee, hotels and pools, Edri offers real value. She plays the role of the "big sister" who shares the small tricks flight attendants usually keep to themselves. She also runs a well-produced YouTube channel with about 23,000 subscribers, featuring longer and more personal content that positions her as a mentor for smart travel and lifestyle choices.

Joana: the blogger who turned the uniform into a travel journal
Joana Góis is an Emirates flight attendant who describes herself as an executive flight attendant, presenting a more mature and reflective side of the profession. She goes beyond polished photos, blending intense flight schedules with travel, lifestyle and mental health content. According to Emirates Woman magazine, she joined the airline more than six years ago and has since visited dozens of countries and hundreds of cities.
Góis stands out by creating content that functions as a living destination guide. Her feed feels like an ongoing travel diary, with clean visuals and concise recommendations that appeal both to aspiring flight attendants and to anyone looking for inspiration for their next trip.

Tommy: the flight attendant who tells you how dirty planes really are
Tommy Cimato is a U.S. flight attendant who went viral on TikTok not for exotic destinations but for focusing on hygiene. He highlights what builds up behind the scenes on aircraft, warns passengers about common mistakes and exposes the less glamorous but most useful side of flying: cleanliness and health.
Cimato gained global attention with his do-and-don’t videos, featured by news and lifestyle outlets worldwide. He delivers the uncomfortable truth directly: planes are not always as clean as they look. He explains why shorts are a bad idea, since seat cleanliness cannot be guaranteed between flights, and why it is best to use a tissue when pressing the toilet flush button.

She shares life-in-the-air content alongside highly practical guidance for those inside the industry or hoping to break in.

Palej has built strong followings across platforms, with about 182,000 Instagram followers and more than 421,000 on TikTok. In other words, she is not just another flight attendant with a pretty photo but a creator offering concrete value.
