What our students say...

"I had an unbelievable experience attending The Travel Academy! My instructors were so friendly and experienced; they taught me exactly what I needed to know to become a flight attendant. Not only did we learn about the travel industry and what it takes to be a flight attendant, we were taught how to develop a resume and interview! The mock up interview and the interview questions we had to answer in front of class prepared me 110% for my real-life interview. Because of the The Travel Academy's training I got an interview with GoJet Airlines. I was so confident during the interview they offered me a job immediately after! I can't wait to start my new career, I'm so proud of myself and I know I'll do great in training! Thank You Travel Academy!"
-Murphy H.

"My experience at The Travel Academy went above and beyond my expectations. I planned on being a flight attendant and graduated with a job at Enterprise/Alamo/National. My life and future changed from being here. I made great friends and built relationships I'll never forget. My education was outstanding and I could not ask for better instructors! They helped me decide what path I wanted to take in my future in the travel industry. This was an experience I will always have with me because of the skills it has taught me!"
-Katelynn M.

What Recession?

Dreamed of seeing exotic locations while enjoying a job that changes everyday? Look no further, the cruise industry might be for you - and they continue to grow, despite doom and gloom forecasts for our economy and the travel industry.

BUSY STUDENTS

The path to your new career starts with enrolling at The Travel Academy, but you start walking that path as soon as you get here! Three of our current students took 2 days off from class to drive to Michigan to attend an Open House for Flight Attendants with USA Jet Airlines. We are sure with the training and career development we provide they will be among those called in for an interview!

TRAVEL HUMOR

Flight Attendant Funnies:

"Your seat cushions can be used for flotation and in the event of an emergency water landing, please take them with our compliments."

"As you exit the plane, please make sure to gather all of your belongings. Anything left behind will be distributed evenly among the flight attendants. Please do not leave children or spouses."

"Last one off the plane must clean it."
