What You Need to Know:


Delta is seeking both English-speaking Flight Attendants and Bilingual Flight Attendants (also known as LOD/Language of Destination) to join our In-Flight Services team. If applying for a Bilingual role, you must be fluent in English and the language you select on your application to be eligible. Bilingual languages include Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Italian, Korean, and Swedish.

New hires must successfully complete seven consecutive weeks of training located at our World Headquarters in Atlanta, GA. During this time, participants receive a training wage and some meals, as well as shared lodging for those who do not live within 25 miles of the training facility.


Once training is complete, Flight Attendants will report to their assigned base to join their 28000+ colleagues in In-Flight Service. We operate out of 19 bases, including Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Minneapolis, and New York. Base options may vary based on operational need and differ for Bilingual, or LOD, Flight Attendants.
