In the fast-paced world of aviation, cabin crew members are constantly on the move, hopping between countries and continents, often without much time to plan for their layovers. Staying connected is crucial, not just for personal use but also for job-related communication. With the advent of eSIM technology, things have gotten much easier for flight attendants, as they no longer have to swap physical SIM cards when traveling. 

At MobiMatter, we provide some of the best global and regional eSIMs that allow users to travel across multiple countries on just 1 eSIM, making it a hassle-free solution for international travel. No wonder cabin crew loves eSIMs. 

Across airlines, the benefits of eSIMs for cabin crew are clear:

  • No More SIM Swapping: With eSIMs, cabin crew members don’t have to carry multiple SIM cards or switch them out at every new destination.
  • Instant Activation: eSIMs can be activated instantly, meaning no more waiting in lines at airport kiosks or stores to buy local SIM cards.
  • Cost-Effective: Many eSIM plans offer cheaper rates than traditional roaming packages, saving money for crew members who frequently travel between countries.
  • Global Connectivity: Whether in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, or Africa, eSIMs offer consistent coverage in over 200 countries, providing seamless connectivity.

Today, we explore some of the top eSIM recommendations loved by cabin crew members from various airlines, including their experiences with specific global eSIM packages

1. Krusha - Seamless Travel in China and Beyond

Krusha, a cabin crew member with Etihad Airways, has extensively used our global eSIM packages and frequently mentions how eSIMs have revolutionized connectivity for her. Having traveled to regions with strict internet censorship, such as China, she particularly values the fact that the eSIMs from MobiMatter allow her access to apps that are usually banned in the country.

Check out her video across China. “As cabin crew who’s constantly visiting new countries, MobiMatter helps me stay connected to data with just 1 eSIM that works in more than 70 countries! And I have a gift for you - Use code KRUSHA for your first eSIM purchase on MobiMatter and get 50% (up to $5) off!”, she writes.

This makes global eSIMs an invaluable asset for cabin crew members like Krusha who need unrestricted access to communication platforms in countries with tight internet controls. The ability to bypass these limitations, thanks to reliable international eSIM providers, enhances the experience of working in such regions. The Global Special 20 GB is one such global eSIM plan that works across 105 countries!
