Flight attendants often spend multiple nights per month in different cities. While airlines typically cover hotel stays during layovers, the details of how you get to and from the airport can vary widely depending on the airline’s logistics setup.
What to Expect for Layover Transfers
Most commercial airlines arrange transportation for flight attendants between the airport and layover hotels. This service is often managed by third-party logistics providers specializing in crew transportation coordination.
Common Types of Layover Transport
| Type | Description | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Airline-arranged shuttle | Group van or bus shared with other crew | Most common |
| Private vehicle service | Reserved cars for senior crew or late hours | Selective |
| Hotel shuttle | Provided by the accommodation itself | Often used in smaller airports |
Tips to Handle Layover Transport Like a Pro
- Always confirm pickup location after landing — some airports have designated crew exits.
- Keep emergency contact info from your base or logistics team handy.
- Ask hotel reception if a shuttle is not waiting after 15 minutes.
- Use airline-provided vouchers only in approved local transport services.
Crew Responsibilities
While transport during layovers is covered, you are responsible for being on time. If a shuttle is missed due to delays not caused by the airline, crew may need to arrange and pay for transport upfront (sometimes refundable).
