When I search for work at home job leads, I occasionally come across various work from home airline jobs. It might surprise you there are some reputable airlines who actually use home-based agents to book flights and perform customer service duties.
For today's post, I've done the research and made a list of four major airlines that sometimes have home-based openings. One downside — these companies all require that you work onsite for a while prior to being allowed to work from home. So this might not be an option for you depending on where you're located.
Please keep in mind the jobs are not always open. I have provided this list for you as a reference to know what airlines to keep tabs on for work at home jobs. In addition, the jobs below are exclusively US-based. But I'm happy to list some worldwide airline jobs if anyone is aware of them. Just comment and let me know!
4 Work From Home Airline Jobs
#1 – Alaska Airlines – This company has occasional openings for work at home reservation agents. You will need to live within 100 miles of their call center in Kent, WA so you can attend onsite training prior to working from home. Training lasts for six months. You must have a lot of flexibility in your schedule because they assign shifts to you. Per the most recent job listing, pay is $12.14 hourly.

#2 – American Airlines – This company has frequent openings for home-based reservation reps. When the position is available, they typically hire people living in or near Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX, Cary, NC, and Miami, FL. American Airlines generally requires that you live within a 50 mile radius of the locations they hire in so you can come in for a face-to-face interview and work onsite for approximately ten weeks prior to being allowed to work from home. It is mostly entry-level, you just need to be at least 18 years old with a high school diploma or GED. Pay is around $10+ hourly with opportunities for raises.
Go here to search jobs at American Airlines. You will need to type “work from home” or “home based” as your keyword to see if they have home based openings.
#3 – Delta Airlines – This company has occasional work from home airline jobs open, in reservations and sales and service. When they are hiring for this, the locations vary. I have seen the job open in Utah, Minnesota, Texas, and also Atlanta, GA. They require you to work onsite for six months prior to working from home. Pay varies, but most of the older job postings I've seen for Delta indicate it is over $10 hourly.
Go here to see open jobs at Delta. You will need to select the reservations category to see if there are any available work at home jobs.
#4 – JetBlue – JetBlue has occasional work at home reservations crew openings. The position typically requires training onsite for a period of time in Salt Lake City, Utah. When training is completed, you are free to work from home. JetBlue does require at least two years of past customer service experience. They offer benefits and travel perks, although some of the Glassdoor reviews show complaints about low pay.
Go here to see open jobs at JetBlue. Note that when this position is open, it's listed under “reservations crew”.
Good luck if you decide to apply for any open work from home airline jobs. And again, please do not become discouraged if the jobs aren't open now. They come and go regularly.
Feel free to comment below if you are aware of other airlines that occasionally have home-based openings available.
If you're looking for more regularly posted work at home jobs, I recommend a membership at FlexJobs as well as keeping tabs on Indeed.com. I have seen the openings for the above airlines posted on both of these sites at different times.
Alaska Air is hiring for res agents to work from home at all three of our call centers: Kent, WA; Boise, ID; Phoenix, AZ ( Chandler, AZ). Training is 5 weeks, probation period is 6 months. I just completed training and Alaska Air us a great place to work.
I live in California. Is there any possibility for me.
I don’t know if any of these companies hire in California, but you can always keep tabs on their careers pages to see if there are openings in your area.
Hello,
Was excited at first and then realized I do not live near those states. Anything near Boston 😊
Thanks for the research. Hope it helps more than one
This could be fun! Travel perks would be especially nice, lol.
What about Canadian Airlines such as West Jets?
This would be a great opportunity! I wonder if you would get the perks of discounted flights by working with these airline carriers…this would be great for people who want to travel.
Thanks!

Actually, yes, many of them offer this! I meant to include that in the post but I think I forgot. But yes, that is a fantastic perk to having a job like this.
yes my name is ANTHONY from ghana and am really interested in this online but i dont know how to go about it i wil be happy if u can help me to know what to do and if there are some airlines world wide especially in africa
Thanks for sharing!!! I am really interested to know if there’s any airline that has opening available worldwide. I am from the Caribbean and would appreciate any info you have.
Hi Keisha. Thank you for chiming in! Unfortunately I’m not sure on that. I would recommend finding out what the major airlines are where you live, then visit their websites and find their “careers” page. Then check for work from home positions in their customer service departments. Good luck!
Thanks for putting this together Anna. I had known about Jet Blue and Delta but not the other two. Thanks for sharing – I’ve already passed this on!
Have a great day and week!
