Ok. This is the first time I have to disagree if you laurie. When I book my flights i pay extra to book the specific seat i want. I have my reasons to book that seat. I will never switch my seat unless I'm offered a better seat in my opinion, i.e. Business or first class to my economy seat. I planned ahead, i paid extra money, it's my seat.

My son ALWAYS helps peop, e with overhead compartments…he is 6’5”…. So glad he does this!

Thank the Lord for an understanding flight attendant when we were traveling standby. The gate agent said no way, now how, all three of you will be split up. My five year old boy was balling his eyes out as we boarded because I had to explain to him that he needed to be a brave boy. The flight attendant asked what was the matter and she was on that loudspeaker asap requesting for someone to trade seats. Of course several people volunteered and it all worked out.

I had a woman in a scoliosis FB group block me after I said FAs are not required to help lift bags. I even told her that some FAs aren't even "on the clock" when passengers are boarding and thus, if they get hurt, they aren't covered. This is info that needs to get out there! I really enjoyed this video and her perspective. Would love to see you interview more FAs!
-
I ALWAYS greet when boarding and thank them when leaving also say thank you when they give me a drink/snack. I so appreciate what they do for us. I just don't understand why you don't respond when they say hello, such poor manners. Going to remember the $5 tip. Great interview, thank you.

We give the Flight Attendants and Pilots a gift bag of candy with some little goodies (like inspirational or funny stickers) when we board. The message we always include is, “Thank you for keeping us safe!” We’ve had FA’s come up and tell us that it made their day, and once (on a regional jet), a lady pilot found us before takeoff. She had a Tootsie Pop hanging out of her mouth. She said she was pregnant, and that bit of candy was just what her baby needed❣️

Twice I have flown on an airplane, and someone was in my seat, I politely showed them my boarding pass, and that they were in my seat, and they were really ugly about it. I can see why someone might, ask the flight attendant for help in this matter.
-
I always smile and say hi to the flight attendants when boarding.
-
LOL. I’m old and look frail to some people. There is always some kind gentleman who wants to lift my bag for me. I just let him without telling him I’m a powerlifter.
-
I always thank the air hosts when I leave. They work hard to fulfill our needs.
-
I always give the flight attendants my utmost respect. Why wouldn't you?! I just don't understand people! I really liked this interview, Laurie & Jeannine. Thanks!

Per Delta’s website: “When packing, please remember that flight attendants are unable to proactively assist customers placing carry-on baggage into overhead bins, with certain exceptions. In addition to keeping customers and crew members safe and healthy, this change also protects flight attendants by decreasing the likelihood of injury caused by repetitive lifting.” It’s right there for the reading. How many passengers actually read the carrier’s information is another question.
-
I love the tip on giving a tip to a flight attendant for their airport driver tip! Love this!
-
I always say hello when boarding and smile to the crew that are welcoming us on board. I say please and thank you too. I had a flight attendant thank me on a flight for helping out the lady sitting next to me. She had recently had surgery and had healed up enough to fly but still needed assistance.
-
My biggest pet peeve is passengers who put small items in an overhead bin space instead of under the seat 😖
-
I remember my first flight as an eight year old with my grandparents. My grandmother and I wore dresses, pearls, a pill box hat and white gloves. We had curtains on the windows. We could extend our legs out completely and still have room left over. Sigh.
-
Hard to believe that so few people acknowledge/say hi to flight attendants. I always say "hi, how are you" to each person I encounter!
-
I’ve walked onboard several flights, where I’ve said hi to the flight attendants and they completely ignore me! I still say hi, though.
-
"I have a problem, can you help me, please" is a very useful phrase. or even just "can you help me, please?" and a pro tip: ask a guy if you need help lifting your carryon. unless he's a total jerk - and you can usually identify those by sight - he will be HAPPY to do it.
