* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': In ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManJMichaelStraczynski'' #51, while doing a favor for an aging crime boss (don't ask), this was once attempted on Spider-Man. Since this happened during the period he and Mary-Jane were back together, the results were quite humorous.
-->'''Spider-Man:''' *from inside a large amount of webbing he's put up to keep the scantily-dressed "attendant" at bay* Just slip the food through the webs and no one gets hurt.

In fiction, female flight attendants are invariably depicted as being young, attractive, glamorous, and having a [[ThePornomancer guy-in-every-(air)port sex lives]].

* In the 1960s farce ''Theatre/BoeingBoeing'', the hero is dating three international stewardesses who don't know about each other, since they're never in town at the same time. Unfortunately the flight schedules get changed and all three turn up at once.

The young and attractive part was TruthInTelevision for a long time, as airlines once insisted on specific physical standards when hiring women for the job, ostensibly for work reasons, but in practice it was to please clients by having pretty staff. In many Western countries, this is no longer legal. A series of US court decisions in the '60's and '70s found airlines in that country liable for grounding flight attendants as they aged, gained weight, married or became pregnant. As well, racial discrimination was not allowed. [[note]]"Civil rights laws in the mid-1960s made it illegal for employers to discriminate on the basis of age, sex, or race. Thus, the airline industry had to abandon its preference for hiring young women as well as its no-marriage and no-pregnancy rules and weight restrictions."

In RealLife, flight attendants in the US were younger than the labor market average in 1980, with an average age of 30 (compared to the labor market average age of 35). But by 2007, the average age of flight attendants was 44, older than the labor market average of 41. This was due both to the civil rights legal changes and due to labor market issues such as the post-September 11 attack layoffs, which led to furloughing of newer (and usually younger) employees. In 1980, 18.4% of flight attendants were 16-24; in 2007, only 4.8% were 16-24. As well, there are more men: in 1980, there were 19.3 males per 100 females) and 2007 (26.4 males per 100 females). As well, between 1980 and 2007, the percentage of Black and Hispanic flight attendants increased. [[note]] https://www.prb.org/resources/the-changing-demography-of-u-s-flight-attendants/[[/note]]

In fiction, the Sexy Stewardess may be the main character, but will more often be the male hero's love interest, or will show up as cameos (usually several at a time) to emphasize a given character's wealth or seductive potential. In most cases, expect her skirt to be [[SexyWhateverOutfit way shorter]] than most actual stewardess uniforms, along with high heels for shoes.

* ''Series/{{Lucifer}}''. The episode "Stewardess Interruptus" opens with an airline stewardess in uniform entering the penthouse and playing up this trope for all its worth. Unfortunately [[LadykillerInLove Lucifer]] was [[AlmostKiss about to kiss Chloe Decker]], so a visit from one of his [[AnythingThatMoves many, many, many, many, many paramours]] is NOT what he wants right then.

* [[StreetFighter Cammy's]] blue Shadaloo outfit from ''VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha'' makes her resemble one, or is it just the hat?

* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooters_Air Hooters Air]]!!. Yes, you read that right. It's over, though, but from 2003 to 2006 was the airline of the Hooters '''breastaurant''' chain.

** There are still some requirements that are legally justified because they are purely practical: A stewardess must be tall enough to reach the overhead compartments, must not be too fat to fit in narrow aisles, must be at least fit enough to perform normal tasks and stand for long periods of time, etc.

* An Air France stewardess and flight crew were suspended after routine checking of internal CCTV from the flight revealed the stewardess had performed a striptease in the cabin, cheered on by captain, co-pilot and flight engineer. Apparently, the plane was on autopilot while the pilot and co-pilot's attention had been distracted. The NotSafeForWork recording has been posted on the Internet already.
