There яПНs really no difference as far as the job duties go. We tend to use flight attendant as the official job description in the USA because it is gender-neutral. We used stewardess when I was a little girl because most people in the position were women, often hired for their looks. Now most American flight attendants are 40 or older.

Air hostess is an old fashioned term, not used at all nowadays. It harks back to a time when they had to be young and beautiful. They had to be over 5 яПН4 as well, which disqualified me. Cabin crew, flight attendants, stewards and stewardesses, I think all those terms are used.
