British stewardess Dianna Castro listed the mistakes of passengers on board, which hinder the crew the most. An employee drew similar conclusions after working for a major airline for 16 years.
First of all, she said, when boarding a plane, many travelers stop in the aisle to pack things. However, according to the rules, they must quickly take their place and allow fellow travelers to pass.
“Wait until the flow of people stops, and then calmly put your things on the shelf,” she advised.
Also, an employee of the airline noticed that passengers like to stick their arms or legs out into the aisle. According to her, because of this, flight attendants can stumble and get injured. In addition, the passengers themselves can be injured, for example, from a cart with food and drinks.
The oversights that interfere with the flight attendants also ranked the use of headphones for the entire flight. As Dianna Castro notes, passengers do not take them off when communicating with the crew and therefore do not hear them. The girl is sure that it is better to stop using electronics for a while so as not to miss important instructions. At the same time, it is worth putting on headphones when listening to music and watching movies, so as not to disturb fellow travelers.
Another mistake is to ask the staff to raise the air temperature on board. This request cannot be fulfilled in any way, the flight attendant explains.
“Airplanes should be cold. The cold air helps with nausea and reduces the effect of dryness on the skin,” she said.
