The dumbest questions to flight attendants
It is still one of the most sought-after jobs in the world: working as a flight attendant. Waking up in Paris, ending the day in New York… Or camping somewhere in a tropical country. I actually owe my whole life to KLM. Nope, it has nothing to do with a Mile High Club, but with two parents who both worked for a company, met each other that way, and were able to see practically the whole world together. I obviously find that the most romantic love story ever but hey, I am of course biased.
Anyways, for all the men who are secretly reading this: do you hope to meet your dream woman (a flight attendant) at over 13 kilometers high in the air (if you are flying within Europe, I obviously looked up the altitudes), then definitely do not say the following things. And by the way, not just the men. This is for everyone who ever steps onto a plane: stop asking these questions to flight attendants. They find it really stupid.
“Will I make my transfer?”
They will press a turbo button for you, okay?
“Can I use the business class toilet?”
You may have heard other stories, but the toilets in business class are not suddenly five-star worthy compared to the toilets in economy class.
“Is it hard for you to date?”
You wouldn't like it either if a random person suddenly asked you a question about your love life, even if you are not a flight attendant, so why them? Yes, they travel a lot, but distance makes the heart grow fonder, right? And hey, maybe they have a different sweetheart in every town, but that’s none of your business.
“Are you also a member of the Mile High Club?”
Read again what is stated above. You don’t ask that to a stranger, do you?
“Why are we delayed?”
Just take a quick look out your window. Can you see anything through all the fog? Or is it raining/snowing? If you ask something like that, you are probably not a frequent flyer, because they always announce why there is a delay.
“What are we flying over now?”
I would find it very impressive if a flight attendant could look out the window for just a second and exactly name where on the globe you are flying over.
“Can't I just sit in one of the empty seats in business class?”
Do you want to pay a little extra, just like the rest of the business class flyers? Then sure.
Anyway, read this also if you want to know the funniest questions to flight attendants. Oh yes, and the questions that you would never dare to ask.
