FAs Say It Isn’t Wrong To Take Amenity Kits + Vote In Poll

Amenity Kit
Got this flying in first from Tokyo-NY

In late March I asked Have You Taken An Amenity Kit When Flying In Coach? While some of you agreed with me that it was OK to do, others felt it was similar to stealing or at least wrong to do…

This led me to start a poll asking Is It Wrong To Take Amenity Kits When Flying In Coach?The poll is still open (until April 21 at midnight), so please make sure to vote if you haven’t already done so.

While reading some comments and thinking more about the topic, I thought of a great idea- why not ask a couple of flight attendants that I’m friendly with to share some insight on this topic! Continue reading FAs Say It Isn’t Wrong To Take Amenity Kits + Vote In Poll →

Could larger penalties and fines help decrease the amount of incidents involving unruly passengers aboard planes?

According to Today.com, “Flight attendants want air rage fines boosted“.

In late December, I wrote about an inflight fight over a crying baby and over the summer an unruly dad caused a JetBlue flight to be diverted. Continue reading Flight Attendants Want Air Rage Fines Raised →

Yahoo Travel has been posting some great content recently. Now they’ve come up with another really fun and interesting article.

Flight attendants are the ones at the front lines so to speak, representing the airline while we’re in the air. The way they act and things they do can really impact us, the flyer’s inflight experience.  Continue reading 12 Things Flight Attendants Can’t Do For You →

Flight Attendants Making Ebola Kits?

Travel Articles, ,

ebola precautionsA little over a week back I wrote how I’d Fly To South Africa Amid Ebola Fears.

This post was more a hypothetical statement rather than a let’s go to Africa right now kind of idea. I’m very glad that Kim and I have had the chance to visit Africa a few times. We took many safaris and those trips are some of our fondest travel memories.

When the time is right I do hope to return to Africa. I can’t wait to see Lucas’ face the first time he sees elephants, lions, giraffes, zebras and a variety of other animals roaming freely where they belong. It is this image that most makes me want to return to a continent that I’ve had such great experiences in. Continue reading Flight Attendants Making Ebola Kits? →

10 Things You Should Never Say To A Flight Attendant

Travel Articles,

Screen Shot 2014-03-23 at 11.57.12 PMLast week I wrote about a USA Today article- How To Make Flight Attendants Like You. Some might say that the general idea of the article is just common sense while my thought is that a simple reminder about how to act/ behave on a flight doesn’t hurt. 

I just came across another flight attendant-related article, this time from Smarter Travel.

I was expecting the article- 10 Things You Should Never Say to a Flight Attendant to be an interesting list but to me, this was a bit ridiculous and something to laugh about. I can’t imagine who would actually say most of these things.

How To Make Flight Attendants Like You

Travel Articles,

USAToday

USA Today had an interesting article about How To Make Your Flight Attendant Like You a couple of days back.

When I first saw the title I laughed a bit. Is it our job to make the flight attendants like us? After all, we pay our hard-earned money (or miles) to fly!

In my opinion, I don’t think it is “our job” to make the flight attendants like us, but it definitely doesn’t hurt to be nice and make their jobs a bit easier and more pleasant. Flight attendants have a pretty tough job having to cater to a plane full of passengers from all walks of life.
