Corporate flight attendant administration

What to include in a corporate flight attendant invoice.

Corporate flight attendant assignments often combine daily compensation with travel days, per diem, provisioning or trip expenses, and other client-approved costs. A consistent invoice format makes those categories easy for the flight department and accounting team to review.

Core invoice information

  • Your name or business name, contact information, and payment instructions.
  • A unique invoice number, invoice date, specific due date, and billing contact.
  • The assignment dates, aircraft or tail number when appropriate, route or location, and trip or purchase-order reference.
  • A short description identifying the assignment and your role.

Recommended compensation line items

Use separate rows for assignment days, travel or positioning days, per diem, approved holiday or special premiums, and any agreed pre-trip or post-trip work. Show quantity, rate, and calculated amount for each category.

Handling provisioning and other expenses

Do not mix personal compensation and reimbursable trip costs into one unexplained total. Use a dedicated expense tracker or supporting report that records the date, vendor, category, description, amount, receipt status, and reimbursement status. The invoice can then show one summarized reimbursable-expense line supported by the detail.

Receipt discipline: capture the receipt while the expense is fresh, label it with the invoice or trip reference, and record when it was submitted and reimbursed.

Payment terms and follow-up

Use the payment terms agreed before the assignment and convert them into a clear due date. Log the invoice immediately after sending it. If it remains unpaid at the due date, send a short professional reminder that identifies the invoice number, amount, and due date.

Avoid these common problems

  • Sending several unrelated forms instead of one complete invoice package.
  • Leaving out the client or company billing name.
  • Combining daily rate, travel pay, per diem, and expenses without explanation.
  • Using inconsistent invoice numbers across the PDF, email, and tracking sheet.
  • Failing to record partial payments or outstanding expense reimbursements.
