The big mistakes you’re making on the plane that will make cabin crew hate you
A FORMER flight attendant has revealed the big mistakes that passengers make onboard a plane and the crew will hate you for them.
Former flight attendant Paul Alpant Reavey has explained which passenger actions annoy cabin crew.
It’s not good news for anyone who likes a tipple or mid-flight stretch.
On behalf of Mega Casino, Paul said: “Don’t over drink and ask the crew for more drinks, then ask different crew when they say no, you think we don’t talk to one another?
In fact Paul told passengers not to get drunk on an aircraft entirely.
Paul, who is known as Mr Plane Guy, also didn’t appreciate passengers spending time doing yoga or stretching on the plane.
He said: “People start doing stretches and full on aerobics in the galley when we are trying to work in a small confined kitchen/galley area, organising and giving out drinks and food for 200-300 passengers while 42C is doing legs, bums and tums.”
Paul has suggested avoiding stack meal trays – typically used on long-haul flights.
While it may seem like you’re being helpful, it actually creates more work for the cabin crew – as well as more mess too.
He said: “Would you take your plate to the restaurant kitchen? People act really strange on an aircraft!”
The former cabin crew member also said passengers need to wear their shoes who using the loo on the plane and that they should avoid drinking water, tea and coffee from the galley too.
He added: “The aircraft water tanks have flown around the world, while I’ve seen people and engineers checking them, I just don’t know or trust how sanitised they are.”
Above all else Paul encouraged passengers to be kind to members of cabin crew – especially after he’s had passengers moan and argue over the slightest inconvenience when it comes to their food.
Paul said: “Be nice, 2022 was horrific for airline workers, the sudden surge in demand combined with poor staffing levels resulted in huge queues everywhere at airports and not enough crew on flights.
“Travelling can be stressful anyway, but don’t take it out on the people that have showed up to take you on holiday.”
Meanwhile flight attendant Tommy Cimato has revealed five things you should never do on an airplane – including leaning on the windows.
He also recommended that passengers steer clear from wearing shorts on the plane because it might be pretty gross.
A drink you should never order if you don’t want to annoy cabin crew is a Diet Coke.
