To New York and back - and get paid for it. Sounds like a dream job to many. But what does everyday life as a flight attendant really look like? PULS reporter Leah Nlemibe finds out for you: for 48 hours she accompanies flight attendant Franzi on a long-haul flight to New York and back and lends a hand herself. Before the flight, Leah completes an intensive crash course at the Lufthansa training center, where she learns, among other things, how to put out a real fire. She also talks to an insider about the dark side of the job - from physical strain to sexual harassment in the workplace. How much of a dream is there in the job really? +Editor's note: We paid for the flight tickets for our team in order to maintain our journalistic independence. Since the shoot could only take place on a certain day due to the camera accompaniment and the tickets on that day / in this constellation with only a very short stay on site were very expensive, Lufthansa reduced the ticket price to a market level. #PULSReportage #Reportage #flightattendant #lufthansa #newyork ------ The most important sources can be found here: ➡ Lufthansa, statement from November 15th, 2024 & November 19th, 2024 ➡ Independent Flight Attendant Organization (UFO) eV: Statement from November 18th, 2024 ➡ Independent Flight Attendant Organization (UFO) eV: Survey on sexual harassment in the cabin workplace (2019) https://www.ufo-online.aero/de/rund-u... ➡ Independent Flight Attendant Organization (UFO) eV / Collective Agreement for Cabin Crew, Table 1, Level 8 https://www.ufo-online.aero/images/Or... ➡ Office for Technology Assessment at the German Bundestag: Innovative drives and fuels for more climate-friendly air traffic (2024) https://publikationen.bibliothek.kit.... ------ Chapter overview 0:00 Dream job as a flight attendant?
