If you’ve ever wondered if flight attendants gossip about you while in the sky, then there is one phrase you might want to listen out for.
Two flight attendants revealed the deepest secrets of their professions to eShores – and one anonymous crew member confirmed that they do talk about passengers while on board.
If you hear them refer to someone as ‘Bob’, they are using the secret acronym ‘babe on board’.
When you are disembarking from the aircraft, if the flight attendant says ‘cheerio’ to you this could also be code they have a secret crush.
The anonymous source added: “We always run back to the galley and let the rest of the crew know where the sexy passenger is sitting, we will be extra nice to them and give them freebies. I can confirm phone numbers have definitely been written on napkins!”
If you want to keep the party going if you get a flight attendants number, then there’s little stopping you.
The source said: “Airline crew love partying with their passengers, especially in Vegas.
“Numbers are always exchanged on a flight so be brave and ask a flight attendant out, because they may just say yes and know the best spots to go!”
Another thing to keep mind for flights is to pack your own snacks.
Kamila Jakubjakova, a flight attendant for over three years, explained: “Due to different air pressure and dry air inside the airplane, our sense of smell reduces roughly by 20 percent, and so does the sensitivity of our taste buds, making the food taste blander.
“Therefore, the aircraft food is often oversalted. For this reason, I prefer to bring my own snacks when I fly.”
