They may never tell you, but you can find out from us. And so let us start with the question;
You may say they’re good at their job, but you have no idea what they go through to keep their jobs. A flight attendant must always be cheerful and nice to passengers on board even when they (passengers) are at their best or are their worst.
While you chew on that, there are things you do that makes it difficult for these attendants to carry out their responsibilities cheerfully. Scroll down to find out.
Flight attendants have quite a bit to do to get the cabin ready for departure (like reviewing air safety information and catering to small children). Getting you a glass of water isn’t high on the list.
So why not ease into the atmosphere and let tensions calm down before you start you go on a demand spree.
There’s a much better way to get the attention of a flight attendant. Why not press the call button again and again and again instead of clicking your fingers. Or better still, a simple “Excuse me” should do the trick.
For the record, flight attendants do not have control over a delayed takeoff (and subsequent later arrival time). Before you think you can figure it all out, listen to this; sometimes you may look up the weather on your smartphone to discover that the weather is clear and clement, leaving u disappointed or displeased with the “airline that always delays”
But here’s the thing, that there are a lot of variables in play with delays, ranging from weather to aeroplane congestion. If you have grievances, it’s better to take them up with the airline instead of yelling at the staff trying to make you more comfortable on board.

It’s actually against aviation rules to remove your pet (dog, cat others) from the pre-approved carrier they’re travelling in. (In fact, you’re supposed to purchase one that gives your pet enough room to stand up or lie down.)
But many a passenger chooses to ignore this rule once on board. Flight attendants get it: You want to comfort your pet. Instead of your pet out of the cage you can unzip the bag carefully to pet them or whisper soothing words to them, that’ll be much more ideal.
The customer is always right. This is very true but if the crew on-board turns on the “fasten seatbelt” sign and reminds you to take your seat; but you refuse to heed the advice, then you forfeit all grounds for a complaint or lawsuit if you get injured.

As a passenger, you have the right to roam about as you please but it is also important that you adhere to the flight rules which by the way, are set to ensure your safety on board.
Yes, we know the flight attendant is there to take your orders and make you feel comfortable while flying. But you could be a little courteous, considerate and empathic while doing that.
Sure your mind is wondering at the moment, but we will make it very easy for you. Here are the things you do when ordering that annoys the flight attendant.
–Having Your Ear Phone On when you order a drink. Of course, you’re going to have to scream to be convinced you’ve been heard by the attendant. So why not save yourself the stress and unplug your earphone before making your order.
–Taking forever to decide which drink you want. We bet many are guilty of this. So she keeps walking down the aisle with the drink cart for over 20 minutes and you still do not know what she has on her cart.
But let’s say you do not know what’s in the cart but do you have to take ages to decide what you really want?
Not just flight attendants, anybody who appreciates cleanliness will definitely have a problem with your disposing of refuse irresponsibly.
