1. In the US it's usually 21 if the airline serves alcoholic beverages otherwise 18 but rarely that young. I don't think anyone at the age of 13 an work anywhere in the US.
2. UM...NOOOO, I seriously doubt there are 13 year old flight attendants...ANYWHERE. In the US, the general rule is 21.
3. Dude,,, you gotta be old enough to handle liqour
4. There is no such thing- anyone who told you that was kidding. ALL international airlines require you to be at minimum, age 18 to apply for a F/A position, however you're preferred to be at least 21.
5. actually, it varies with each airline.. but, yes, the mnimum age is 18 for some airlines.. and for others, it 21..
6. Well you have to be 18 years old to become an flight attendant. But most airlines require you to be 21.
7. Actually, there are 12 US airlines who will hire you at 18, and 22 airlines who will hire you at 19. All the rest require you to be 21.
