The art of flying: Tips and Tricks to keep Flight Attendants happy

A nice post shared by one of my collegue: Worth following....

From packing, to paying, to security, traveling by plane is a stressful experience. But Reader's Digest says there are a few things flight attendants won't tell passengers that can make the experience in-flight more pleasant.

• Make sure to push your carry-on bag all the way into the overhead bin - don't leave it sticking out for the flight attendant to fix.
• Flight attendants will try to disarm an unruly passenger by introducing themselves, or point blank asking why an unruly traveler is treating them poorly. Often, other passengers approve.
• The average age for a flight attendant is 44.
• When they hand you a cup of coffee and ask, "Cream and sugar?" but you don't hear them - it's safe to assume what they're asking. No need to ask 10 times.
• Please keep your child from playing with the call bell.
• It's a lavatory door - not rocket science.
• If you have a baby, bring diapers; if you're diabetic, bring syringes; if you need an inhaler, bring it, etc.
• There are others on the plane besides you. Don't clip toenails or do any other unsavory tasks underneath a blanket.
• Traveling overseas? Bring a pen. There's a good chance you'll be filling out forms to enter a foreign country.
• Stop tattling on other passengers unless it's something serious.
• Just because you're traveling to West Palm Beach doesn't mean you're first class.
• Wait to go to the bathroom until the food cart is out of the aisle.
• Is it that hard to say "Hello" and "GoodBye?"
• Don't touch them.
• Attendants really aren't allowed to lift your luggage into the overhead bins for you. They can only assist.
• Please don't try to join the mile-high club. Besides, those bathrooms are cramped and gross.
• If flight attendants page a doctor or get a defibrillator, it's not a good time to ask for a drink.
• You can only pee in the lavatory, period.
• Yes, it's OK to use the lavatories while you're on the ground. It's not like they spill out onto the tarmac.
• They don't want to touch soggy tissue or loaded baby diapers.
• Don't slowly scour your area for tiny pieces of trash. There are 150 other passengers to serve.
• Sometimes it takes a long time to find a wheelchair - they're subcontracted through the cities airlines fly into.
