Yes, Go for it. Have a look if you like it. You can always go home after some time if you reaaly find you can't stand it.
The lifestyle is pretty good, after all. no taxes, what you get is hat you keep.
There are (at the moment at least) no allwances. Your salary is your income. Chefs DO make substantially more than "regular" FAs. (their base sallary is criminal. Someting like AUD700/moth. Thats why we have trouble recruiting Westerners who STAY here...)

Routes: Everywhere the widebodies (planes, not pilots) go. I.e. the A330 and A340. That can mean a 6-day trip to Sydney (where you will by the way only spend less than 24 hours!) or a few days in Dublin or Johannesburg OR a quicky trip from BAH to India, the UAE, Saudi, Beirut etc and STRAIGHT back, without even getting off the plane. There are A LOT of flights to London, where you'll be or around 22 hours from touch-down to take-off.

And your last 2 questions, Yes, no comment (the web has ears -so to speak- and when/if you come you will see that it is sometimes better to stay as annon. as possible... )
