airline stewardesses

Cabin crew members

Airline stewardesses is the plural of airline stewardess, a woman who attends to passengers on commercial flights—serving meals, demonstrating safety procedures, and ensuring comfort.

The term was standard through the mid-20th century but has been largely replaced by the gender-neutral flight attendant.

My grandmother was an airline stewardess for Pan Am in the 1960s.
