Tax-free pay, travel discounts and free accommodation are just some of the perks of working for Dubai-based airline Emirates.
The world’s largest international airline is on the lookout for people to join its cabin crew - and it's coming to Bristol to find them.
Emirates is looking for women and men to fill the new positions and is holding a recruitment day in the city on May 24.
Cabin crew are offered benefits including a tax-free income, free high-standard shared accommodation in Dubai, free transport to and from work, medical and dental cover, and exclusive discounts on shopping and leisure activities in Dubai.

It also offers concessional travel benefits to employees’ families and friends across the airline’s six-continent network.
But there are some very strict rules about who can apply to join.

Applicants need to be at least 21 years old at the time of joining and have an arm reach of 212cm when standing on tiptoes.
Candidates need to be a minimum height of 160cm with a "healthy" Body Mass Index (BMI), according to the Emirates website.
