Jasmine

Hi, I'm Jasmine. 27. Air hostess with a major Indian airline for the last six years, Mumbai based.

I do this when I'm on ground, which works out to about ten days a month. That means availability is actually limited, I can't always take same-day bookings because my schedule shifts every roster. If you call and I'm in Frankfurt, you'll hear that from whoever picks up.

Being cabin crew means I've seen a lot of hotel rooms in a lot of cities with a lot of colleagues. This was an easy step sideways honestly. The money is better than I'd imagined, and I enjoy it more than I thought I would.

I'm the polite type in person. Trained to smile at people I don't particularly like. Some of that stays with you, don't mind it.
