Nigerians are some of the highest frequent travelers in the world and so its important to know some secrets that Flight attendants would never divulge if you are not in the know


1. They’ll intentionally delay flights
If a flight is delayed, the crew often gets paid overtime. But this only kicks in after a certain amount of delay, so sometimes the crew (after the doors have closed and they are in fact on the clock) will delay take off intentionally.

2. Nice clothes can get you to first class
You actually can be upgraded for free to business or first class once the cabin doors have
been closed. But here’s a secret: the crew isn’t going to put a slob in stained sweatpants up there, so dressing nice could be your ticket to first class service at economy prices.

3. They throw out the extra wine
The plane isn’t allowed to have opened, unfinished bottles of wine when they land, so they pour out all extra wine. If you mention you know this, it could be hard for your attendant to deny you a couple extra free glasses.

4. They’re the law
They may look unassuming in their pencil skirts and cardigans, but it’s against the law to disobey crew members’ commands. Simply refusing to put your seat up when it’s time could mean a meeting with police when the plane lands.

5. They delay dinner on purpose
If you’re asleep, your flight attendant is supposed to leave you alone and that means less work. For this reason, the crew will often delay dinner as long as possible on night flights, so that half the plane is asleep and they don’t have to serve that half.

6. You can have first class’s leftovers
After everyone in first class has been served their meal, a flight attendant could technically give you one of those sought-after leftover meals. It’s worth asking.

7. They’re not on the clock until the doors are closed
If the crew doesn’t seem to care about you until the doors are closed, that’s because they’re not being paid to. They don’t make a dollar until those doors are shut which is also why they rush you to put your bags away and sit down

8. You only think you know turbulence
Flight attendants laugh when they hear passengers swap stories of “the worst turbulence ever” and “dangerously bumpy flights.” Out of the over 2 million people who fly yearly, there have only been three fatalities due to turbulence in over 30 years, and two of those individuals were not wearing their seatbelts.

9. Joining the mile high club is not illegal
That’s right! If you can get away with it, you didn’t do anything wrong. That being said, flight attendants almost always know when this is happening, and will ask you to exit the lavatory.

10. They’re sneaking you decaf coffee
Why would they give you regular if that just means you’ll be awake for hours, wanting snacks, wanting drinks, and asking pointless questions?

It sounds very interesting. I agree with most of the points. The one I like most is seating on first class. I want a taste of it. So may be I will try it so far am not arrested. Hahahahaha.

Interesting

thinka2: 1. They’ll intentionally delay flights
If a flight is delayed, the crew often gets paid overtime. But this only kicks in after a certain amount of delay, so sometimes the crew (after the doors have closed and they are in fact on the clock) will delay take off intentionally

This can't be correct, they don't and can't deliberately delay flight, the airport is not theirs and they have to vastly depend on Air Traffic Controllers to guide them for taxi to the run way and for permission and clearance to take off.
If only the narrator knows how bored and home sick flight crews are, s/he wouldn't have said this, besides, these people are under protocols and their every minute is accountable to their company, so I don't accept that they could deliberately delay a flight because, flight operation is totally up to the ATC

thinka2: 2. Nice clothes can get you to first class
You actually can be upgraded for free to business or first class once the cabin doors have
been closed. But here’s a secret: the crew isn’t going to put a slob in stained sweatpants up there, so dressing nice could be your ticket to first class service at economy prices

Now, this is misinformation, who is writing all these; is this not that website that wrote some nonsense about the extreme danger of using ATM machines abroad?

5. They delay dinner on purpose
If you’re asleep, your flight attendant is supposed to leave you alone and that means less work. For this reason, the crew will often delay dinner as long as possible on night flights, so that half the plane is asleep and they don’t have to serve

This is unreasonable, if a person misses his dinner while he sleeps, this would mean double job for the crew because, once he wakes up, he will press the attention button and demand for his meal which the flight attendants can not deny him.
By the way, flight attendants do wake up sleeping passengers with words like "sir, do you want anything"

thinka2: 7. They’re not on the clock until the doors are closed
If the crew doesn’t seem to care about you until the doors are closed, that’s because they’re not being paid to. They don’t make a dollar until those doors are shut which is also why they rush you to put your bags away and sit down

This is condescending to flight crews: perhaps you're talking about the Nigerian (domestic flight crews) but if you are generalizing it, you should have known that flight crews get paid as long as they are on duty whether their planes take off or not

thinka2: 10. They’re sneaking you decaf coffee
Why would they give you regular if that just means you’ll be awake for hours, wanting snacks, wanting drinks, and asking pointless questions

Na wah for this guy o!
Why not just say that flight attendant give passengers anaesthetic injection or that they euthanize passengers: or even that they use poisonous gas on passengers to make their jobs easier?
These are people who are heroes in the sky: and the lives of hundreds of people (in each flight) are in their tiny hands and here someone is making slanderous analysis and allegations against them

Please stop posting or feeding people tons of bullshit that aint true.....I have families who work as flight attendants and all,please take ur lies and deceits some where else.Mtchewwwwwwww
