From glorious sunset selfies in the cockpit and with celebrities to layovers in Tokyo, Hawaii and Amsterdam and five-star hotel stays, cabin crew have shared nearly 1.2 million photos of their high-flying adventures across the globe using the hashtag #crewlife on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
Tom Cross, a pilot with the Sydney-based regional airline QantasLink who has around 50,000 followers on Instagram, is said to have been recognised by passengers on board and at the airport from his various photos posted on Instagram, some of which have had more than 5,000 likes, including of views from the cockpit and him swimming in Victoria Falls.

"It is interesting meeting numerous people who have recognised me from my photos," he told the Mail.
"There are a large number of people fascinated with my job as a pilot and ask many questions about working under the Qantas name and how they themselves can get into a position like mine” he added.
“As an airline employee you get to travel the world for free or a very low cost on your own time” Jeanerys De Santiago, a 25-year-old flight attendant from Florida, told the Mail, who has posted several pictures of herself on Instagram in various parts of the world including on beaches in Cancun and Hawaii as well as at Niagara Falls and Christmas Eve in Mexico City.

“When you are working, the layovers are the best part of the job. We could be in New York for breakfast and dinner in Milan or London one day, and Bogota, Colombia, the next,” she added.
Some members of Etihad Airways cabin crew were seen in a selfie photo with Fast and Furious film series actor Vin Diesel as well as with the German golfer Martin Kaymer in Abu Dhabi (both pictured below), while others were pictured in a convertible car cruising to or from work.
But some cabin crew members have highlighted some of the difficult realities of life in the skies, including long working hours, time away from families and the exhaustion of being “constantly on the go” as well as the more unglamorous aspects, including consecutive stays in mundane-looking hotel rooms.
