Dear Members,

In the current landscape, finding absolutely safe destinations can be challenging. However, don’t let this deter you from enjoying your overnights. To ensure a safe experience, it's crucial to take some precautions and be prepared. 

Safety Measures at Home: 

• Keep Documentation Secure: Have a scanned copy of your passport saved in your email or on a secure platform. Inform family or friends about your whereabouts during your pairing. 

• Research: Before your pairing, research your destination. Check for safety concerns or travel advisories on Aviation security portals like Comply 365. Follow company advice and guidelines. 

Safety Measures During Travel: 

• Planning: Map out your itinerary and research the safety of your destination. Consider using reliable sources like travel guides, blogs, news sites, and advice from experienced travelers or hotel staff. 

• Guided Excursions: Opt for recommendations from the hotel for excursions. While they may cost more, these recommended services are likely to maintain professionalism to uphold their relationship with the hotel. 

Additional Safety Tips: 

• Inform Others: Share your plans with Cabin Crew members and someone back home. This ensures someone knows your whereabouts in case of an emergency. 

• Night Safety: Avoid venturing out alone at night. Explore during the day and stay close to the hotel or with other Cabin Crew members after dark. 

• Blend In: Respect local culture by dressing appropriately. Avoid flashy displays of expensive items like cameras or smartphones. 

• Alcohol Consumption: Exercise caution with alcohol consumption. Drink responsibly and limit intake to ensure your safety and return to the hotel. 

• Mindful Communication: Refrain from oversharing details about being flight crew with strangers, as this might make you a target. Exercise caution in your interactions and meetings. 

• Trust Your Instincts: Always trust your instincts. If a situation feels uncomfortable or unsafe, leave immediately. Appear confident even if you feel uncertain internally.
