What Your Flight Attendants Really Think of You

Why is it that most people lose their maturity and common curtesy once they board a plane? If you don’t want to be a pest onboard and your aim is to be the ideal passenger, you can redeem yourself by taking note of these 25 things passengers do that really annoy flight attendants.

When You Take Off Your Shoes…

Do I really need to explain this?! Bare feet in the cabin is one thing, but going to the restroom sans shoes is completely gross. Planes are on ground for maximum 90 minutes at a time and the cleaning time is a mere 20 minutes.

Planes are filthy, even when they’re cleaned – and the bathroom floors are always wet. And yes, it’s what you think it is!

When You Ask to Visit First Class…

‘You want to just have a peak at first class? Yeah sure, why not! Let’s make a P.A. for anyone else in economy who wants to have a look in the premium cabins. Hey, maybe you can even sit in one of the seats if it’s empty and take a photo.

I’m sure the passengers in first class who paid $20,000 for their seat won’t mind!’ – Every flight attendant’s inner thoughts

When You Do Yoga in the Galley…

Would you wander into the kitchen of a restaurant to stretch your legs? No, right? So don’t settle into your downward dog position in the middle of the galley just because it has the space.

This is a working environment for your crew and one of the few places they can go to rest during a flight.

When You Repeatedly Press the Call Bell…

Pressing the call bell repeatedly by mistake is one thing, but pressing it because you have a minor disturbance is a separate annoyance.

An example of this is when the person next to you is asleep and you need to use the restroom but you want the crew to wake them up for you. This is not what the call bell is for.
