What Flight Attendants Wish All Travelers Knew
The Unsung Heroes Of Air Travel
Flight attendants are crucial in helping passengers have an optimal flying experience. As a passenger, it’s difficult to see all the things a flight attendant needs to deal with during a flight.
But don’t overlook these essential individuals, as their insight and advice about flying is priceless.
You Cannot Sit Anywhere You Want
A big no-no on flights is not sticking to your assigned seat or assuming you can switch seats without asking. Open seating is not a thing on flights, so stick to your assigned seat until everyone is boarded, and then bring up the topic of seat swapping to a flight attendant—within reason of course.

Prepare For What You Need During The Flight
Making sure you have enough of everything you need during your flight is vital and you cannot expect flight attendants to have extra diapers or medication on board. Being prepared for your flight is your responsibility, so quit making preventable emergencies for flight attendants to troubleshoot.
You Are Not The Only Person Flying
Social media has sparked a trend of vlogging and video-making during flights, leading to constant photo-taking and loud commentary about jet lag or travel experiences. Narrating your entire flight for YouTube not only alienates other passengers, but the lack of consideration for those around you—especially in such a confined space—creates an uncomfortable atmosphere for everyone, including the crew.
