Rosters/work schedule
Cabin Crew Member work involves irregular working hours, and the work schedule varies from month to month. Each month, a roster is issued that is valid for the following month. The number of working days depends on the flight hours of each working day and the configuration of the work schedule.
Our summer job positions are usually for 3 months, most often from June to August. They can also start sooner or last longer by agreement. All summer jobs are full-time positions.
During the first summer of work, Cabin Crew Members are not given any vacation days but do get contractual days off.
Is the job physically demanding?
The job involves shift work and frequent travel across various time zones so it can be physically demanding. Our flight schedules include early morning and evening flights, and crew members receive a wide range of flights on their roster (work schedule). Additionally, the working environment on the plane can be challenging due to the lower air pressure, which can disrupt the body clock. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize healthy habits such as sleep, diet and exercise to maintain good mental and physical health.
Base
The base for the crew is in Keflavík. The crew is responsible for their own transportation to and from the base. Please note that crew members must reside in the greater metropolitan area of Reykjavik or the Southern Peninsula (max 70 km from the base).
The crew is responsible for their own transportation to and from the base so a valid driver's license and access to a vehicle is required.
