Then the news that Emirates is looking for Glasgow cabin crew to join the luxury airline is sure to pique your interest.
The Dubai-based airline is holding a recruitment open day in Glasgow this Sunday to find candidates to join its multi-national crew.
The open day will take place at the Radisson Blue Hotel on Argyle Street in the city centre from 9am.
They are looking for both men and women with an "open-minded, helpful, friendly and service-oriented working attitude."
What to expect at the open day
All applicants can walk in with an up-to-date CV in English, and a recent photograph.
Although it's not mandatory, candidates are also encouraged to complete an online application on the Emirates Group careers website before attending the open day.
Candidates will need to come prepared to spend the full day at the venue if required. Shortlisted candidates will be informed of timings for further assessments and interviews.
There are five stages to the recruitment process. They are:
- CV review and evaluation
- Group assessment
- Height and reach assessment
- Online English language assessment and behavioural questionnaire
- Web-based final interview
What are the job requirements?
There are some strict criteria that potential cabin crew recruits need to meet before they will be considered.
Applicants must be at least 21 years old at the time of joining, have an arm reach of 212cm when standing on tiptoes and be able to adapt to new people, new places and new situations.
They must also have a minimum height of 160 cm, be a high school graduate, be fluent in English (written and spoken) and have no visible tattoos while in your Emirates cabin crew uniform.
Men's dress code includes having short hair, neatly presented, with minimal hair product, being clean shaven with no make-up and clean and manicured nails.
Meanwhile, women must have their hair neatly tied in a French roll, braid, ponytail or bun, with loose strands pinned up or to the side, make up consisting of concealer, foundation, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, blush, lipstick, but no lip gloss, manicured nails with varnish in clear, red or a French manicure and shoes with heels.

What are the job perks?
There are some serious benefits to working for a company like Emirates - the world’s largest international airline.
