A former The Bachelor contestant has ditched the cameras and microphone for an aircraft and loud speaker as a new Virgin Australia air hostess.

A former The Bachelor contestant has ditched the cameras and microphone for an aircraft and loud speaker as a new Virgin Australia air hostess.

Sandra Rato, the 28-year-old extrovert that was dubbed as the wild-one in the series, was spotted walking through Sydney Airport this week sporting Virgin’s red and purple uniform.

The former school teacher was hired by the airline a few months earlier.

She told the Daily Mail that while she is still a PE teacher she was eager to step into the ‘fresh and new’ role.

“I am still a PE teacher but I do have another job, yes. It’s fresh and new.”

She continued, saying she loves the airline because they’re ‘amazing’.

“I’m looking forward to representing them.”

Now that she’s a flight attendant, can we expect a photo of ‘The Bachelor’ star in the #Overheadbin pose?

Branson feature

Meanwhile, earlier this week, Virgin Australia with the help of Sir Richard Branson opened its upgraded Brisbane Airport Domestic Terminal.

The gateway space underwent a major transformation to offer travellers what Branson described as ‘one of the best domestic travel experiences in the world’.

“Brisbane and the broader Queensland market are an integral part of Virgin Australia’s flight network and today sets a new benchmark for all travellers at Brisbane.”
