Standard on heavy and ultra-long-range jets, available on request on many midsize types, and uncommon on light jets and turboprops. On a long flight a cabin attendant is worth asking for, and on a short hop most people do not miss one.
On any flight long enough to involve a proper meal, on a flight with children or older passengers, and on a flight where you intend to work or sleep and would rather not be handling service yourself. It is also worth it where the catering matters to the purpose of the trip, because a served meal and a cold box are different things.
Adding cabin crew to an aircraft that does not normally carry one adds a crew member's cost to the trip, including any overnight where the trip keeps them away. It is a real line rather than a courtesy, so ask for it to be quoted rather than assumed.
Cabin crew availability is a scheduling question for the operator like any other crew member. Requested at quote stage it is usually straightforward; requested the day before it may not be possible at all.
Standard catering is normally included in the quoted price. Premium or specific catering is itemised separately, and it needs ordering ahead because it is sourced through the handling agent at the departure airport.
Yes, and it should be raised at booking rather than on the day. Specific dietary requirements, particular restaurants or unusual items are usually achievable with notice and rarely achievable without it.
Most jets do, though on the smallest types and some turboprops it may be minimal or curtained rather than a separate enclosed compartment. On a longer sector with a mixed party this is worth confirming for the specific aircraft.
Send the route, the date and the number of passengers. We check operators with aircraft near either end and come back with named options and a price.
