Since the very beginning, the world has been in awe of steward and stewardesses! Their exotic lifestyles and unattainable jobs somehow put them on a pedestal.

Emirates cabin crew members in particular always appear so prim and polished that they create an air of celebrity around them: especially with their massive social media presence.

From flaunting videos of their exotic travels and company expensed living pads to quirky reels and TikToks wearing the Emirates’ signature uniform… all of which make the cabin crew life seem so attractive.

So here is a breakdown of their pays and benefits:
