Emirates cabin crew share tips to Filipino travelers
FOR Filipinos who are planning to go on a solo vacation this year, Emirates has curated special tips and tricks to help customers embrace the sheer thrill, freedom, and adventure of traveling alone.
Solo travel has been steadily gaining ground post-pandemic. In a 2023 survey conducted by Solo Travel World in the United States, 68 percent of participants identified themselves as independent travelers.
Whether a seasoned solo traveler or planning first independent trip, Emirates’ multicultural cabin crew will transform the way you perceive travel.
On booking hotels, Alessandra Piper from the UK, who has been flying with Emirates for over nine years, shares her hacks.
“Always book hotels with a flexible booking policy, as you may decide to stay longer in some places at the spur of the moment, so you do not get stuck with cancellation fees,” she said.
“Safety is of utmost importance. My training also equipped me with the confidence to communicate with people from diverse backgrounds and take guidance from locals and fellow travelers,” Shamiso Guvava from the UK, who has been with Emirates for over a year, said.
Micaela Olivieri, an Argentinian cabin crew member with Emirates for over two years, listed her top three must-dos.
“First things first, always take care of yourself and your personal belongings. When walking in a crowded area, ensure your bag is in front of you rather than behind. Secondly, be situationally aware of the culture and respect it. Lastly, always trust your intuition and use your past experiences for guidance,” she said.
