Can i start a full time job with holiday arrangements already booked?

I'm planing to apply to a Flight attendant role for a long haul airline in spring 2018, however i have a weeks holiday booked in July and a festival for 5 days at the end of August, would i still be able to apply and have these days off or wait to the end of summer to apply?

You'd have to tell the hiring manager.

Sure, you just need to be sure that they are aware of your arrangements during the hiring/interview process.

You can apply, but if you get the job now, you may have to give up the holidays.

How do I know what view your new employer is going to take?
Existing holiday arrangements are usually accepted, but they don't have to.

You can apply - but your new employer may not be able to give you the leave you've booked (you should mention these in the interview)

As mentioned you would need to let them know of your plans, in the uk leave is normally prorated on a monthly basis, so if you have 24 days to take, you accrue 2 days per month. Take a job in Feb/Mar could give you enough for your trip in July, but it would be a stretch to expect the Aug trip, especially if all leave days fall on full working days.

Its probably not that big of a deal but if for example they are doing a hiring "class" where there's mandatory training thats a different story

It is estimated about 100 apply for each flight crew position.
They interview about 10% and select a few for training.
Apply
You might get interviewed.
Why not apply NOW? There's no Guarantee you will be selected for interview or selected for training.

Is there some reason in particular one of the other 200 job titles at Airlines and Airports is of no interest to you?

DO NOT expect to get time off at any job you have just started at. You might. Airlines are BUSY in the Summer they want staff that work when it is busy.
You are not Guaranteed to be hired. You can apply and then decide what to do IF THEY HIRE YOU.

You might get selected for training.
At that time you then decide do I want vacation or a job.
DO NOT expect to get time off during the first month or two of training.

You must tell the company when you apply for the job, or, at latest, at the interview.
