If you were in an unknown city, what would you do to find a restaurant?
"If I know ahead of time where I'm going, I always do my research ahead of time and check out online recommendations. If not, I'm perfectly happy to wander around town and pop into whatever looks good."
Working as a Flight Attendant will often find you far away from home in unfamiliar surroundings, and your interviewer is looking to hear that you are able to handle these lonely situations by asking a question like this. Assure the interviewer that you are ready and able to handle this type of situation by being resourceful when you are in these unfamiliar settings.
"Technology is an amazing thing these days! I have multiple apps on my phone that help me find new hot spots in the area. I will sometimes go out with my crew or take to Facebook to see which friends of mine may be in the area. Every trip is different for me and that's half the fun of it."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Ask hotel clerks, shuttle drivers, or even strike up a conversation with a PAX on the flight. Personal recommendations are always better than google.

Great! The interviewer is most likely trying to understand if you have the personal resources to adapt to new environments. Can you draw on an example that demonstrates your adaptability and resourcefulness?

I have a part-time job where I have to go to a medical center. From one place I have to go to another different place. They can be 1 hour away from each other. I have found those places on my own using my phone. I'm very familiar with any type of technology.
