As the saying goes, "The customer is always right," which is why most flight passengers think that they're entitled to every request. However, people should take note that it's not always the case and there are 5 things travelers should not say to flight attendants.
Asking For Other Food Options
A lot of people think that it's just a normal thing to ask flight attendants about other food options. However, Escapehere reported that it's not normal because it's common sense that you shouldn't do that. The food that's on the tray are the only options that you have because once the plane takes off, what's on the plane is what you have.
Can You Watch My Kids?
This is probably the worst request a passenger can ask from a flight attendant. Flight attendants are not babysitters and even if it's just for a couple of seconds, it's just not reasonable. Even if your excuse is to go to the washroom, it's both risky for the baby and the flight attendant.
Can You Lift My Bag Up For Me?
Another thing that travelers shouldn't say to a flight attendant is asking for assistance to stow your bags in the overhead bins. If you decided to not check-in your heavy bag, make sure you can lift it on your own. If you can't lift it, then they can't lift it as well. Just wait for them to offer assistance.
What Drinks Do You Have?
According to the Daily Mail, flight attendants don't know every type of drink that's on board the plane. Usually, there's a menu stowed under your seat that you can read. Take the initiative of knowing what's available first and if it's not there, it's probably not on the plane so don't bother asking.
Asking About Delays
Just like passengers, flight attendants are also annoyed about delays. Try to listen for announcements why the flight is delayed so you don't anyone.
These are the 5 things travelers shouldn't say to flight attendants and for those passengers who are guilty, you might want to be aware next time. Remember those flight attendants are people just like you.
