sour cream/greek yoghurt is also really good to keep guac from oxidising. tip from mexican abuela. lol
Lunch bag: how much protein do you wanna pack?
Kat: *yes*
Cooking veggies Flavor tip: use a TBsp of liquid crab boil to “steam” your fresh veggies, sooo good!
This was a great video...extremely helpful. Your meal prep is more like how I try to eat than others I've watched. Not a flight attendant- I work in a office with a set schedule so I use the Crew Cooler Jr which I pack every morning with my breakfast, lunch, & snacks - my goal is to eat everything I pack eat day since I struggle with eating enough. Anyway. Those plastic trays & the food you prepared looked great! You can get the plastic condiment cups with lids from the same section at Walmart or Target as sandwich bags - they have reusable options there too. Thank you for sharing!
That lunch bag is amazing thank you.
I AM OBSESSED WITH YOUR CHANNEL 😍 I'm also a flight attendant and your channel is my greatest discover!!
I throw a couple of little squeeze bottles of Mio for my water bottle when I get bored with plain water. Also, I have a tube of "8 Greens" tablets to add to water as a way of supplementing my needs for greens. Super tasty too!I
I'm obsessed with hummus and baba ganoush (sp). So easy to eat with sliced veggies like bell peppers and cucumbers!
I love these ideas!
lol i just started watching this video, and i'm all like that bag looks familiar. just checked my own lunch bag for work... yup I've got the same bag.
I Love your channel very helpful for a flight attendant .Keep up the Good Work!!!!✈✈✈
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate the love! It means a ton!
You welcome
Got to say, simple but effective.
I have this bag for work going on almost 7 years and I love it. Only problem is the top zipper catches from wear and tear but other than that I'll keep this bag until its ready to go on to glory. ❤
Thank you for this. It really helped.
Thank you for the ice bag tip. It makes so much sense. Almost all hotels have ice machines, few have freezers!
Yes I still use that trick even to this day!
Good video, I love my Ebags cooler bag too. This may be a stupid question but here goes. Your nails are gorgeous, the airline lets you have them that long.
Not a stupid question and no I am not supposed to have them lol. But if the worst thing I do at work is have well manicured but overly decorated nails, then I'd guess I'm doing alright.
Could you, do a video, about your work day? In the sense of when you get breaks, lunch breaks etc. Or link one if you already have one? Thanks!
I have the indigo one and I loved it
Thank you for the video! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you so so much!!
Greetings from Australia. Have just discovered your channel and have subbed. Enjoyed your scarf tying vids, some great ideas I'm trying out, particularly enjoyed the fan tie. Keep the vids coming, they're great :) Just a tip for loading your lunch bag, try turning the meal containers round the other way across the width of the bag rather than the length (all the while humming the tetris song to help your packing) they will fit much more snugly whilst still giving you plenty of room for other goodies. A small container of berries or a couple of bananas will also go well with oatmeal portions too :)
Wow!! Welcome to the fun! Haha the fan is the cutest one in my opinion too. I just have a hard time getting it together quickly lol
apfelprincess4
Very good video!
Thank you so much!
"Jailhouse potatoes" HAHAHAH!
Hahaha tragic!!
luv your channel! 💕👍. Do you use your ebag for lunches on Vacation or day trips???? Would like to see those meals as well. Tks 😀
I just ordered a lunch bag from Amazon. My airline doesn’t do overnights so I won’t have to pack a bunch of food. I might have to do breakfast, lunch, and dinner for one day but most of the time…it’s just 2 meals out of my 3 and a few snacks.
I add peanut butter to my maple and brown sugar oatmeal!
I would love to see self care videos from you! You’re always so put together, so your routines would be awesome to watch!
Um yum!! Haha I'll try to think of some kind of ideas for that. Idk how much self care I do lmao
Lol! Can’t wait 💕
new sub here -you are so super organized! I love your nails! im wondering what happens when a flight attendant is late to work? does the plane wait for you or do they call on a reserve back up? also id love a video on airport/flight attendant lingo-ie reserves, legs etc
Hi @Ri Ray 👋🏾!! I am a FA* for a Pacific Northwest airline (I have "*" some terms and will define after the explanation). And, in general, when a FA is late the company has reserves sitting airport* that can be called "last minute" to do the boarding process for the late FA until they arrive. Now, if the FA is going to be "excessively" late then the reserve FA will work the flt* and the company will try to DH* the original FA to whatever location needed to pickup and continue with the regularly scheduled trip*.
*FA - flight attendant
*DH - Dead Head. A FA (in uniform) that is being repositioning to an airport, but NOT working the flt. They will be sitting in the cabin with the PAX. (sidenote, some FAs don't want to be disturbed while DHing because it's our only break in the day and we want to nap.)
*sitting airport/airport reserve- a FA is scheduled a certain set of hours to sit at the airport waiting to be called for work (could be just boarding, or actual flying, or giving a working FA a quick crew break if needed btwn legs*)
*Leg - a flight from one locale to another with a trip. Ex: PDX-SEA (Portland to Seattle)
*Flt - flight
*HR - home reserve (when a FA is on call/available to company, but waits at home rather than the base* airport
*Base - assigned airport to report to to start trips or airport reserve days (you don't have to live in your base city, you can commute if possible)
*Trip - legs put together over single day or multiple days. (My most recent trip was a 3day with 4 leg days and two layovers).
*Layover - City you have rest/break in while on a trip in a company assigned hotel. (Layovers HAVE TO BE a minimum of 10hrs long with 8 of those being in the hotel for rest/sleep by FAA ruling). (Personally a 10hr overnight/layover is not long enough).
*FAA - Federal Aviation Administration, the body that governs how airlines operate, how and what we are taught, dishes out drug/alcohol policy, etc, etc.
*ATC - Air Traffic Control. Body of people that moreso work with pilots and conduct traffic flow in and out of airports and clear flight paths of travel in air.
*PAX - passengers
Any other questions, let me know in response!!
wow! this was super informative thank you so much for taking the time to reply!
@@raya74 no problem!! I hope that helps clear things up as you watch more FA vids.
when kate corrects herself. me: its oke everyone makes mistakes, its not an english class orsomething:) ! But its still great :)
Ok question number 1 how snacks and food can I bring to a international flight I I bring juice boxes for my kids and also do I have to have all the snacks in a clear ziplock bag so then can see what it is?
Put some chives in your instant potatoes game changer
Loved Watching - Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you so so much!!
I just started watching your videos and I love them. Thank you for all your tips and suggestions. But that lunch box you just packed, that had a frozen bottled water in it and I believe that is not allowed on the plane unless they would allow you since you are part of the crew?
Anything frozen Is allowed just nothing in liquid form...
Crewmembers can have liquids.
Sorry if I missed it - how long does the bag of ice method work on keeping the food cold?
So does the larger cooler fit under the seat? Or would you have to check this?
That bag is awesome!! Love it! I wonder if it would work well if you put water in freezer baggies (double bagged) and freeze that laying flat. Then you can re-freeze it if possible. And if not possible you can dump the water out and fill it with ice. But the solid chunk of ice may last longer and take up less space in the bag. I love dried mashed potatoes. And they are so much easier. Great video!! Loved it!!
That's actually brilliant! I am going to have to try that out sometime. I just bought an ice pouch (like the kind they use in medicine) to store ice haha.
How do you carry this with the other two bags you roll on?
My airline has a really small lunch bag/ cooler size requirement, however I have heard other flight attendants say that no one checks that and you can get away with having a larger one. What are your thoughts on this? Does your airline allow that size lunch bag?
Also, do you carry your lunch bag along with a tote bag or do you carry one or the other? Thank you!
I've never heard of an airline having a size requirement for your lunch bag so I can't really comment on that because idk if they would enforce it or not. I usually carry both my lunch bag and my flight attendant purse (at least for 2-4 day trips).
Kat Nesbitt thank you!
@@KatNesbitt I fly with a Pacific Northwest company as a FA and we don't have size requirements for lunch bags, but we do have size/color requirement for purses/backpacks (though, they will be changing as we just went through new uniform fittings and they will be rolling out in Q4... along with a VISIBLE TATTOO policy!!! As a tatted person I am most happy about this)
You can get those plastic cups from the dollar tree
They’re called 4oz portion cups with lids if anyone cares about the little plastic cups
I didn't know you could take food on the plane. I want a hot logic but not available in England.
Great meal choices, this might seem silly question but what is cutting? Packing your snacks and meals saves a ton of money, eating out is so expensive. Do you also pack fruit? Thanks!
Victoria Briseno cutting means cutting calories to lose weight.
how can you get by with all the liquids you take on the plane they do not stop you with the restrictions
another liquid question 😁 the flight crew doesnt go through passenger TSA and thus we dont have liquid limitations 🤗
@@layladventures except international
Can anyone carry a bag with food or only crew people?
As a regular passenger could I use that bag and that same set up as well to take on the plane with me?
Yes of course! You just have to be more careful with the liquid rules than I do. You can bring most foods domestically, they will just have to do an extra security check.
@@KatNesbitt Perfect! Thank you doll!!
Kat Nesbitt I had the same question because I have to travel with my own food due to a health condition. I didn't know we could pack food prepared from home! That's a game changer for me! But I have a question, how would a regular passenger keep things cold? I'm assuming you wouldn't be able to freeze a water bottle or use an ice pack due to the liquids rule.
@@mindybanda301 once your liquid is rock solid its allowed u will just go thru additional screening. Any liquid in frozen form is allowed. I work for tsa
If you are not crew are you allowed to bring food on the plane in a cooler?
Hi, fellow flight attendant here. You as a regular revenue paying passenger can, BUT the cooler would be counted as either the larger item to be stored in the overhead bins or the smaller carry on you put under the seat in front of you. You wouldn't be able to have the "crew cooler", a small personal bag, and a roller bag.
I'm flying out do to my f2f for AA on the 25th and I want to know what I should take. I'm of course taking the documents they requested but what else should I pack?
I would bring a folder or portfolio to bring any documents they've asked for, to bring a couple copies of your resume printed on nice paper, and maybe a few pieces of blank paper to take any notes you may need to. Also, bring a pen with you as well. Snacks and drinks will be provided so don't worry about that.
jello shots Lmao
Where do you get the small Tajin travel bottle? Link?
Unfortunately I don't. I just got it from my local HEB in Texas. I think most grocery stores would carry it though!
Corine sandifer just found on amazon.
it’s usually by the produce/fruit section of walmart. at mine at least
What about fruit?
I was watching you in my living room tv 📺 because I’m writing ✍️ about what my career choice is and I choose flight attendant 👨✈️. I love to travel 🧳 and I really love working with others and communicating with people . But I’m having trouble with this question are flight attendants happy with their career and why ? . Tbh I love your videos and you can tell your honest and just want to help others find their way in the industry. ❤️
If that's your dream, you should definitely pursue it! I know for me personally, I love getting to work with new people every day and not having a manager over my shoulder. I love the passengers on my planes and getting to hear stories and share memories with them. I love the beautiful places we stay and the adventures I have in them. I love the freedom to come and go and see the world from a completely different lens. I love the food, all of it, from everywhere lol. Every day I wake up and can't believe they pay me to do this. It really is a dream come true and if it's yours too you should definitely go for it!! There will be some bad times or things you don't like but overall there is nothing like flying!
❤️ thx means a lot
Do you get to have the food/snacks they sell on the plane to save yourself a few $$$?
We can but TRUST me you will get so sick of it!
Are you allowed to eat the food provided on a long haul flight? Do you ever?
Great question! Yes we are allowed to eat the leftover fresh meals if there are some (i.e the first class food and fresh meals for long hauls in the back) they just ask us to "try" not to take the dry foods off because they aren't perishable. I have definitely eaten the meals, some are good some are not lol.
TSA Would not let us take peanut butter. I have had yogurt( 3 0z or less) thrown away by TSA. I guess the crew haS different TSA policy.
Yer cute
ohh god those patotoes dont look too good. great video.
why do you use bottled water to cook??
At my old house we had to use bottled water because the tap water had so much oil in it from the oil companies drilling for oil. It was barely good enough to take a shower in. Also you couldn't even give it to your animals to drink
@@elizabethperkins8499 ah it makes sense now! Thanks :)
@@elizabethperkins8499 make sure you have an annual physical with bloodwork we just found out my husband has cancer and one of the main causes of the cancer he has is from chemicals in the air from oil drilling. If you show up as anemic make sure the doctor follows up on it.
@@butterflyforeve That's scary I'm so sorry that's happened. I wish y'all the best. I will definitely ask my dr about it
So happy i can drink tap water over here. Horrible hearing your story
Chili powder on fruit? What? Am i missing something?
Try it on mango or watermelon. So good.
The skin is the best part 🤦
This video is for fellow flight attendants. TSA wouldn’t let regular passengers to take frozen water bottles or ice packs.
Ur hot logic will not melt ur tuperwear
That container she is using is microwave and hot logic safe. They are reusable up to so many times.
Oatmeal 🤮
