Big announcement in the sky
Briefly News spoke with a former cabin crew member about big announcements onboard during her decade-long career in the skies.
The team asked what drew her to a career as a cabin crew and what her most surprising aspect was after she started. She responded:
"Growing up, I was always fascinated by travel and different cultures, and SAA, being our national carrier, felt like the ultimate gateway to that. The idea of meeting people from all walks of life and seeing the world was extremely appealing.
What surprised me most once I started was the intense focus on safety. While the glamour and service aspects are visible, the strict safety training and the responsibility of being a first responder in any emergency emphasise the seriousness of the role."
We asked the former globe-trotter if she's ever experienced a big announcement by a passenger on board. She added:
"Absolutely! One of the most heartwarming moments I witnessed onboard was when a passenger, a colleague's partner, proposed to her during a flight. He had coordinated with our purser and, with the help of one of us, managed to surprise her.

Focus on developing strong communication skills, resilience, and a genuine desire to help others. Remember, every flight is a new adventure."
