- Hello, CZcams!
Whether or not you are a flight attendant wanna be, this video is for you.
Please be advised that this video is not a reflection of my former company. The views and opinions I have expressed are merely personal and in no way meant to harm any establishment especially within the aviation insudtry.
Meanwhile, I am so glad to finally share this video I’ve been working on for months and, to be honest, even before I resigned from my dream job at Qatar Airways. I’ve always known that my time with Qatar is temporary so the time has come to tell you why I actually quit (not that anyone cares). LOL I just felt that there were so many things that I wasn’t prepared for before joining this fast-paced world of aviation. I wanted to share it with you hoping to inspire and in no way to discourage you in case you would like to join The Best Airline In The World.
Anyway, there are so many recruitment days happening around the world and I encourage you to apply for this job and change your life for good! But let’s face it, although being a flight attendant has plenty of perks, it has a down side, too. Watch the video for more.
DON’T FORGET TO LIKE, COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE!
Have a good day!

My goal is to become a flight attendant but my plan is only for 5-8 years. I want to travel and see the world while I'm young. Once I get older close to my 30s, I want to settle down. Like you said, I want it to be a chapter but one I'm willing to work for
Oh so u wanna be a 304 hoe for ur 20’s f around then find mr good guy in ur 30’s
Exactly girl or boy 😅! ...my thoughts are also same .This job is very good if you wanna explore something in your life when you are young .So thats what i am gonna do .Wish me luck ❤❤
What a nice comment❤
hello fellow stay who wants to become a flight attendant
Yes i have the same thought
As an ex-qr crew as well, your story brought me in tears. This is absolutely my whole story!
Big hugs!!!!
I'm considering being a flight attendant and currently feel the pressure of social media too. Everything in this video really touches my heart and makes me tear up. Thank you for such a beautiful and honest video. Hoping for a happy and peaceful life for you! ☺
Go for your dreams
Your passion for your work is evident in every video you share. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the life of a Flight Attendant and for doing it with such flair.
"our generation is trap in making more announcement on social media instead of making more actions to achieve a goal". that's true, its really hard to refrain from overly sharing on social media or just your F&F. I always try to keep a mental note that I need to do the work first before I share the achievement. I always feel like if I tell my plans, in the end I'm just gonna jinx it
Absolutely true! So when i have plans, i keep it hush hush and share it when it's finally done!
I’m going to stop telling people what my goals are or what I do for a living because I still don’t know if I’ll be doing the same thing for more than a year or two
We always see the glamorous lives of the flight attendants never knowing the backstories as well as the sacrifices they have to make. Congratulations for making the right decisions ,maybe you can now work on your art which I think is one of your passion. Know that our book of life has many chapters. You have just finished the first one but your second chapter is only beginning.
Hiii Fatima Sis how are you... where are you from Fatima Sis....
@@pathanakram3627 Sis , I am a senior citizen with dual nationalities from the Philippines and Jordan.
What’s glamorous about being a flight attendant? I guess I’m missing this part since I travel a few times a year and see what a FA’s job is.
This is why I always make sure to treat FA's nicely when I fly.
And even on a few occasions when FA is rude to me, I try not to take it personally.
And yes, I always say "Thank you" to the FA.
Even tho they don't show it, inside they know it's one less rude passenger to deal with.
Yes me too. I always say hi, thank you etc. It is such a stressful job. I was a train attendant for one season. I quit because of the crazy schedule and because it was too hard physically and mentally, but i understand the similarities with flight attendant's jobs.
Wow! Probably one of the most insightful videos I’ve seen lately! Thanks for sharing!
Mira being a voice behind cabin crew lifestyle, it’s perks and struggles. You just put everything out there so well. Your editing is so fine I am fan. Got this video in my recommendation. Proud of you 😘🔥
Hiii Divya SIS how are you... where are you from Divya sis
This video came at the perfect time, perfectly said! It’s like you’ve read my mind
A truly beautiful, meaningful exploration of yourself - and what's truly important, not only to you, but to all of us. Much appreciated by this person who is more than 3 times your age.
thank you 💕🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Congrats! Can't wait to see what is next for you!
Thank you so much for uploading this video. I am watching this vlog and has taught me so many blissful lessons in life. Appreciate Mira. I am doing my masters studies and it feels that I needed someone to talk to us and give us insight and purpose of life.
I worked for the same airline for more than a decade as a Purser and i flew with you. It is ironic that some "thinkers" sees the video content as motherly, yet, feelers thinks otherwise. The video , music and editing or cinematography i should say was well laid out like i am watching a quality documentary. Salute to your creativity and endless shots where you should not be caught, haha!
Trully, health is weath and not just for FA's--everyone should see in their hearts "what trully matters" to them. Life is short, Middle east is a transit area just like Jobs are tangible ( title or honor regardless ) and Life is meant to be experienced. God bless your next endeavour.
Wow really? Did we fly together? That’s amazing! Thank you so much for watching! 🤍✨ That’s true I always think that middle east is a “transit” and once we begin a life there, we might have to leave anytime or soon after. AGAIN, thank you so soooo much! Nice to find fellow ex crew in the comment section 🥰
@@miraalegre yes, we did flew before. I wish you enjoy the next chapter!
Love the quote, "nothing grows in our comfort zone"👏👏👏 All the best on your future endeavour.
I’m glad that I have flew with you Mira I also left last year, congrats to your new chapter of your new journey, and Welcome to our freedom 😊😊🥳
Awww congratulations!!! Im happy for you! 💕
A very well thought out and considered presentation. Thanks for sharing ☺️
Been with qr for 6 years. Everything you said was on point. I feel healthy now physically, emotionally and mentally. :)
Proud of you!!! 💕😉💅
Hiii Itskishi how are you.... where are you from
@@pathanakram3627 hi! I'm from PH. :) i will be honest, i miss the perks of the job but not the job itself and also the company. like i said i feel healthier than before.
to those who were not born with a silver spoon like me money is vital to survive but it will never secure you peace of mind
no amount of money can give you a healthier life
while we are busy reaching for a dreams and chasing after material things, we have forgotten about our loved ones who were only getting old
until there were be no more next time
you still have the chance to change the direction of your life until you dont
i was afraid to be stuck at one place FOREVER
❤️❤️❤️ I now became a fan! continue to inspire others like me who is stucked at my comfort zone. i hope i can get out of this too, way too soon. nice editing btw.
-Bernard M…
❤️❤️goodluck as you embark on your new journey
thank you for being an inspiration mira! one brave girl
Insightful video. Able to understand the life of a flight attendant, specially the challenges
Life is about Experience! Great Job Mira Thanks travel Enjoy Life stay safe!
Wow! Beautiful video! I loved your story! You're very talented
Hi Mira, your story is quite interesting, and I feel that in your case you could fulfill your dream and eventually move to do other things, though this might not be the option for everyone. Hope you will find what you were missing while your flying days.
You make a lot of sense, a wise and intelligent lady. It was my dream job when I was younger but it never happened now I’m doing law even though that’s been hard due to personal difficulties.
I speak to my mum everyday and visit weekly or as much as possible, my dad is no longer here. You do you :) bless you
Tremendous awesome vídeo girl! I think your testemony is inspirational, thanks!
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!
loved this video and all the advice you have thank you !!!
Wow, what a great video
Brilliantly put together, very inspirational.

Thank you for such emotional video) i've cried twice during watching
Thank you! I understand and this is the best decision.
So happy for you mira♥️🔥! Goodluck sa next chapter... Abangan ko yan!
Love the intro and editing 🤩
Hey Mira! I’ve been a FA for 10 years and I’ve finally found my equilibrium. It’s very important for you to stay grounded and find your true passion. Best of luck
Greetings from Taiwan! Mabuhy!
I was also QR crew, I was 96XXX before I got redundancy.
I really love this video, and all the questions and doubts you raised in it, cause I was having the same thoughts when I was still flying. I super duper love aviation and flying, but was also facing kind of the same dilemma in my mind.
It’s been 2 years since I lost this job, but still all those good memories keep spinning in my head, Like always traveling, meeting new people worldwide, working with amazing crew ( like ate and kuya😂), being a FA give you advantages and shortcomings as well, especially with QR.
I think I’m still struggling with rejoining or moving on, I just haven’t find a conclusion yet, so when I saw this video I felt really connected with my situation.
Anyways, glad you finally move on, and best wishes for my fellow ex crew friend 😂
Same here .. an ex crew from QR .. 56xxx 🤪
Left QR for almost same reason.. but honestly wherever you there will always be pros and cons… Even if you work at corporate job there is a stress you have to deal with is something that I realised..
I might be joining the aviation industry again for a while and will see where life takes me
I am a Bachelor of Aviation Management Student learning Human Factors at Uni aspiring to work in the aviation industry. This video was a very helpful insight for my Human Factors Assignment. Thanks for creating the video.
Hi Mira I am a FA like you. You are very brave to make the decision. I can relate to some of your experience. I wish you all the best in what ever your plans in the future. On behalf of all the passengers and people you have touched in terms of your vlog and service I salute you, because I know the nature of our job as an FA. I started following you and by the way you have a very cool vlog. Hope to see you one day as my passenger and I will take good care of you as you have done to many others. Greetings from Netherlands
I love reading comments from my fellow FA because we all have this understanding of each other- that “connection” as i call it. Thank you so much for your kind words, it really helps a lot to know that people wish you well. I have given service with all my heart as i think you do, too and i you know what i mean when i say this. Thank you so, so much. Safe skies, always!!! 🥺🤍 you made my day. ✨
Hello ma'am! I'm only a junior highschooler from the Philippines, and I really love and would want to travel the world, though I didn't know how I was gonna earn the money, I instantly wanted to be a flight attendant after my mom recommend it to me shortly after, ik it's gonna take a long time since I'm still pretty young, but I wanna be prepared to pursue this goal!
When i watch CZcams vids on a flight attendants day at work, it would always make me more motivated because it felt like it was the perfect job, greeting guests, bringing them food, being skilled at evacuation methods, etc, but thanks to your honesty, now I know the not so dreamy side of it--
And now I could prepare myself for all of it. Thank you ❤️ ( sorry I'm not the best at English )
Hello! I wish you all the best and God bless you om your journey! Im so humbled and happy to know that I inspire others with my real-life experiences. Keep dreaming and never give up. And stay kind and true!
@@miraalegre thank you so much, I've been trying to develop healthy habits and trying to be more independent since I have anxiety, but it's getting better and I hope you get through all your problems and get the happy life you want
I'm also ex QR cabin crew, I really loved your video, so much happiness and joy for this new stage of your life :) Esther, from El Salvador.
Hello, esther! Thanks for watching 🤍
Grabe 🥺 I wish this video is longer. Keep on inspiring people, Mira! I'm already a fan 🥰
Good luck Mira, I enjoyed your video I totally can relate to what u have experienced , I used to fly with QR for such a long time I'm one of the sensors, now I cam I very much settled with life ,no regrets thankful and appreciate everything, I wish the best of life ahead of you , and very well said everything on your video , take care and good luck for the future. ,😇🙏
Hello, fellow crew! Im happy for you too and all the best! 🤍
I cried 😞, I’m still flying and preparing to leave in one year hopefully 🙏. I’m not sure if we flown before but you’re so sweet dear ❤️. All the best in your future 👍🏻
Remember that youre in the place you are meant to be right now. All the best and god bless you!
So proud of you! 🤗
Maraming salamat ate!!! 🤍✨💕
Yay. More ate Miraaaaaa. I'm a fan since day1 ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank youuuuu ✨🥺
I love this vlog Goodluck and god bless to your new career ❤️
Great video! I know the job/ lifestyle all too well. I appreciate your realistic approach and sharing your perspective. All the best.
Best wishes in your future endeavors! Truly a great video..I feel u ❤️🥰😘
You're a good artist, I wish you all the best for your future, continue your video, even tough we don't know each other, I fell you're a humble person! Your vlog connects beautifully and conveys the reality.
Thank you so so much! I hope to make more videos that resonate with you all ✨
@@miraalegre continue to sketch, they are realistic
I literally have tears in my eyes, I could not explain it better why I’ve quit aviation. Thank you so much for explaining so beautifully. I hope you’re happy and at peace always
Hiii Veena Suram sis how are you... where are you from Veena sis...
So refreshing to see content like this 😍
Awww thank you!!!
That’s exactly how I feel with my 9-5 job. Just got hired as a FA training starts in 2 weeks and I am really thinking about it.
I love you vlogs, Miss Mira. It gives me inspo in life. And rn you give me some reasons to live life. I lost my mum too this pandemic too and its my darkest time. As in! I love your independence and Strength.
When i started this vlog, all i wanted was to create, express myself and explore the possibilities. I didn’t know what I really wanted for this space to be and im so glad that youre one of the people i have touched through my vlogs. Now i believe i found the purpose of this channel, thanks to you. God bless you!!!
@@miraalegre thankyou po , I am an orphan now po, and I also wanted to be an independent person like you, na career woman po kaso hindi po ako matangakad para maging flight attendant sana po maging kagaya rin po nyo ako.
Miranda, thank you so much for this video!!
Pleasure! ☺️
Thank you for this..truly. lots of love ❤️
It takes courage to perform a change of the magnitude you did. The first thing you mentioned, jet lag... I am a martyr to it, esp. going east to west. I never understood how flight crews can cope with it. Salamad po!
Inspiration!! 🥺 I would love to have my own wings too ✨💖
Beautiful and inspiring made me emotional 😭 I can relate
Awwww 🌷🤍🥺
Same here im here in uae for 9 yrs as nurse my parents are getting older.Going home for good is the best decesion i made.You can travel from east to west but the is the best.Good luck dear and God bless.❤️🥰💪
" Our comfort zones are lovely places, but nothing ever grows there" That is so true and that's one of the reasons I want to be a Flight Attendant ☺️
Yes, I want to be a flight attendant too, i know that it's not easy and there's a lot of sacrifices but i want to atleast become one, it's my dream job and i don't know any job that I think I'm capable on doing other than being a flight attendant. I'm still young, I'm only 16 but still i really want to be a flight attendant, it will be challenging but i have to get out of my comfort zone if i want to achieve something
True I also want to become cabin crew tho my parents are not supporting but we have one life if we can't do it now then we will never new opportunities will come but we have to choose between being a person who follow others or be unique in ourselves thanks for motivationing .
THANK YOU for this video.
Sooo happy for you Mira. Wish you best of luck . Soon I am also waiting to press the separation button from the same company. Really this video inspired me more to do that.
Your video is like a book , so interesting and deep
Brutally honest video, all in all brilliant. You are born artist, happened what happened, one more experience in life, but you are omega talented person. I like your art work, that's is simply very rear output in personality. Good luck, and enjoy, very glad that you quit, if need be have a more education in art filed, and became very talented artist, because I see powerful personality here. All my support to you, enjoy!
Awwwee. Love this vlog! Lucky to fly with you! Love youuuu mamsh ♥️
Love you mamsh!!! 🤍✨
hi mira! I'm starting college this year and I'm confused with which career path to take and today, watching your video made me realize why i wanted to become a flight attendant. You inspired me🤍
This made me cry! 😢🥹
you took a great move. you can live your dream life as you have understood the life living importance.
Spot on, Great Content..
Grabe ka Mich!!! 🥺 Nakaka inspire ka! 😍
What a wonderful video..... I wish you nothing but joy and happiness..... a wise young lady...... good luck! From a flight attendant....
Thank you so much!!! I wish you the same. 🌷💕
He did it so well 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This is nice ! I’m thinking about things now
This is a cliche but follow your heart! 🤍
I am ex QR crew I fully understand how my body clock and metabolism is harmed during flight. After I resigned I eat and sleep regularly. as time goes by, my healthy condition is getting recovered. It has been almost 5 years since I resign. but sometimes, I still miss flight. I miss those precious experience and people I met in the world and company. By the way, you have such a great talant about painting which I never had. I envy you haha.
Hi Mira! Today I was asked, what my moment of pride is. I could only think of the day I resigned as CSD almost two years ago when everyone was holding on for dear work.
I felt the lightest and the happiest in almost 9 years. It felt soooo goooood and a feeling of success dawned over me. Ironic but so sweet!
Being able to let go of a job everyone tells you that you won't be able to because of an incomparable salary and lifestyle is such a mark of maturity and courage. There has to be a realization at one point that time, moments, and life on ground are too precious to trade years of a high, fast, and somehow lavish jetsetting lifestyle.
Be prepared of the days you'll miss traveling so much. I shed tears like crazy as if my heart was broken by a lover. But PEACE OF MIND AND NOT BEING ANXIOUS ALL THE TIME are so worth it.
Loving every bit of this season on ground.
I hope you will, too. I wish you joy and happiness with your feet on the ground!
Proud of your decision!
Hi, thank you for stopping by! SENDING YOU BIG HUGS AND IM SO PROUD OF YOU TOO!!! ✨🤍🥺 the realization really hits you hard when you know that money and luxury isn’t everything that life has to offer. Cheers to freedom and more memories with your loved ones! ✨💕
You'll never need to stop traveling. Just that you will be doing that for pleasure. You will be able to make connections and share the world in the company of significant others. Not the fast and never ending flight scales, but a more pleasurable contact with the places, people and nature.
I quit flying after 21 yrs due to sinus problems . I had fun ;great long trips in the earlier days ,I still have nightmares of missing my wake up call to this day 📞.but at the Same time
It was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders when I handed my notice in . also a lot of people do not know how Lonely the job can be you have to love your own company being a flight attendant . I really enjoyed your video very professional and really well put across. I really enjoyed the truths and reality of it yet put in a beautifully manor . I feel really grounded now after 5 yrs of not flying and now get invited to family party’s ,old friends know I’m around again . Kind regards Philip
Wow all that glitters is not gold. Mourning the loss of your loved ones alone as the borders are closed. It's tough. Yes 6years of this life is enough especially you are in a major airline with many destinations and many flights. Good you questioned the meaning of success and the purpose of life leading to your remarkable decision.
Beautiful .Thanks from France .
Bonjour! Merci! Hahaha thats the only french i know
I found this emotional to watch as I have recently left being cabin crew . Thank you for such an honest vlog . You spoke beautifully. Many of things you said I totally understand. Wishing you blessings and health
LIKEWISE! 🤍 God bless you!
100k views na be!! congratulations 🎉
Ate Miraaa, Thank you for this video, soo inspiring!😢 much love all the way from Belgium :*

Hi Mira, I just received my employment offer today in one of the prestigious airlines company as a Flight Attendant. This is really my passion and my dream job. You are truly an inspiration. Your video is a reminder to me that I have to always take care of myself no matter what. Good luck to you!
Hello Aaron, please I need to discuss something with you please, reply me when you see this. Thank you
Congratulations 🥳 you will have a ball - don’t ever forget your emergency training…it does kick in when the real thing happens .
lovely! Real. Thank you.
Just applied for flight assistant and with this video it will take me a long way on making some decisions and how to leave a healthy life. I pray I get called 🙏
All the best!!!! 🤍🥰
I just had my 60th birthday and I did some thinking about my life. I am today strong and happy . I have left Germany and its bad people . I have gone through shit, my reward a thai wife and Thailand with its people and culture. I smiled when I watched your film here, its good to see some one else waking up. You probably know this the Thais do not have old people's homes because they don't Need them. You have seen the world and you are now grown up, do what you want girl and be happy every day, Regards Peter
Such a beautiful video i am too preparing for this dream job wish me luck 🤞🏻😁
Hope you made it! Good luck and have fun! 🤍

Grabe ate!!!!! This vlog is full of soul!!!! 🥲🥲
Awww salamat!! 🥰
Thank you for the video, its so beautiful. I had a dream of becoming a flight attendant when I grew up since I was a kid, tried many times to apply but never got through. At least Would Like to have two years of experience, I'm 29 now and I'm thinking of burying my dream forever.
Don’t bury it, if it’s your dream! Just choose the right airline for you. I’m a F/A and it’s the best job for me. Prepare yourself for the interview and follow your dreams💕✈️
Don’t! You can still join! It’s a great experiende! It teaches you independence and resilience and above all, you’ll see the world and it will totally transform your soul. God bless you on your journey!
Ahy na late ako!!! Hahahahaha PRESENT MIIII… 😘😘😘 so proud of you.
Hi Mira! We don’t know each other but I think we have common friends. I’m happy that I discovered ur video. As ur ex-colleague I totally agree with everything 🙂 All the best to your new found beginning. And I hope to meet you in Copenhagen in one of my lay-overs.
