About the PA thing...is anyone aware that on 90% of the flights I've been on, we actually can't hear or understand what is actually being said?
Same with me, i never hear what they say
I travel for work and can probably understand the PA maybe 30% of the time. And a lot of times it is the captain that you cannot hear.
I agree
I can hear maybe every 3rd word of a PA announcement.
Charlotte Mengel, SAME!
Not even a flight attendant.. but it drives me INSANE when ppl leave their trash when getting off a plane. ESP WHEN THEY HAD 163928 OPPORTUNITIES TO THROW IT AWAY 🙄
Sometimes I feel bad for the cleaners.. Especially on flights like Orlando
Yes! That drives me crazy anywhere, like the movies! People are so disgusting sometimes
Flight attendants don't clean the plane.
BH Some do, some don’t. It depends on the company you work for. At my regional airline we were responsible for the cleaning.
I have witnessed several times on WestJet 737s, the FAs and even the pilots are cleaning up the airplane of trash in the seats starting from the front rows. I sit at the very back, and often they are starting before I get to front exit of t he airplane.
I can’t even tell if the PA is in Spanish, French or English most of the time...
Noémie Tarrade ... it’s usually in English because English is the language of the skies
Why we still have such crap PA on public transport and aircraft is mindboggling seeing as how vital it is and how long it has been around. I can Skype someone on another continent with crystal clarity but the driver at the front of my train sounds like he's speaking to me through a mattress filled with soup...
Jenessa S true but any airline will give its announcements in english as well as the airlines country of origins language.
Many flight attendants speak too fast, plus the pressure changes
We're packing more things because ya'll are charging extra for checked bags.
That is just incorrect, the ticket got cheaper, but you can now buy a ticket without baggage included, so that is why you feel like they charge more for baggage.
Sustainable Sierra the airline I always fly allows for 2 checked bags free, so I don’t think that’s necessarily the case
@@TaschaHoeier Let me try explaining it more clearly. People are cramming more things into their carry on luggage because many airlines have started charging for checked bags. If they went back to allowing all passengers to check bags for free, they'd pack less in their hand luggage.
I think part of it is being afraid of luggage not making it to the destination as well. My mom flew to Europe and her luggage didn't make it for days after, so she had to buy a bunch of stuff right away.
Baggage was never free. It used to be included in the price. Airlines decided to make baggage a la cart, to reduce the cost of the flight. This became beneficial for those who frequently traveled for short over night stays, like business travel, who only would need an over night bag. But not for vacationers who traveled long term. It seemed like an extra expensive charge.
Thank you to the flight attendant who left food throughout my flight thinking I might eat . I had an 11 hour flight and was sick . I took NyQuil and slept the entire time . Every time they served she left food for me in case I would wake up
Aw that is incredibly kind of them!!
That was nice of her, not so great of you... Those gems just get recycled in the giant metal tube for those 11 hours and probably for multiple people sick.
oxIZxITxNxYETxo xo you are so judgmental. I never asked for anything. I was really sick so I took NyQuil as soon as we boarded . The flight attendant kindly woke me up when we were landing. At that time she told me what she had done as she felt bad in case I was hungry. I never intended to sleep that long . I never requested anything.
I was simply stating my story of a kind flight attendant. That’s it . The gesture was very kind . We all go through things in life and we should always appreciate those that were kind to us .
oxIZxITxNxYETxo xo if you are implying that you yourself wouldn’t fly if you happened to be sick when your trip comes then you’re full of shit
Lashlove16 If you are sick... stay home. How rude of you to force everyone around you to breathe in your germs. 🤢
"hey, you skipped me." "Well, Yes, because you skipped your manners." xDDDD
Hahaha gotta tell it like it is!
@Kat Nesbitt Yea Lol
😂
@@KatNesbitt AA sucks ass, from MSP delta rules!!
PogChamp
My only pet peeve is when the flight attendant gets on the PA to do a 5 minute credit card commercial....I'm talking to you, American Airlines...
paulcyberpaul Right?! Since we’re trapped our only defense is to tune out.
Fax
Kat mentioned in her how much flight attendants get paid video that they make commission on them.
I hate that too. But I suspect their job requires it.
paulcyberpaul and southwest 😂😂😂
Don't bathroom juices stick to the bottom of shoes too? Juices going to be tracked throughout the cabin no matter what! Yes, I am a germaphobe too.
Yeah, but walking to the public bathroom with sock is still gross! The juice may get to your feet🤮
@@wm5171 😪😪
Once my plane was late, and the captain announced “there are a four or five passengers with this connecting flight, please allow them to leave first”. NOBODY DID 😡. Not one person. I was sitting at the back and one of the last off. Because of the delay, the connecting flight was held but it’s then an inconvenience for the whole flight... so if you ever hear that announcement pleaseeeee listen.
That's like telling people to leave their belongings in an emergency, morons, as always, will simply do as they please.
Wow. Sorry to hear that
This happened to me also, the flight was 4 hrs delayed, and it really sucked people were so mean and wouldn't let me off. The crew was nice enough contacting land staff to escort me to the next gate, and once I got on the next airplane everyone was seated and I was THAT passenger...
They NEVER let me off. Usually the row(s) I am near will, but then you still have to contend with the 100 people blocking the aisle in front of you. I once ran miles to get between the international and domestic terminals after 36 hours in flight delays. I watched my connecting flight pull away from the gate minutes before the scheduled time. I guess they assumed I wouldn't make it and pulled away early. I spent the next 14 hours in the airport trying finding a shower, buying pajamas (the only clean clothes in the airport) and trying to find any flight that would get me to my best friend's funeral in time.
You have to understand SOMETIMES people are from other countries ant English isn't their first language. My husband understands English when someone speaks to him face to face, but not over a PA system. I sometimes have a hard time what's being said over the PA system and English is my 1st language. Now there are assholes out there.
Don’t you wish you could play this video right after the seatbelt/safety demonstration 😂?
LMAO! Where do I sign the petition?!
GREAT Idea!
I think it’s time to do away with seatbelt lecture.......... common sense, lol
Kevin N yes
Socks taken off is the worst i have never had my shoes off or socks off on airplane
I completely understand your frustration. However, please keep in mind that some people have invisible disabilities that make it hard for them to read menus, understand the PA announcement, put their carry-ons in the bin properly, sit in their seats for more than 15 minutes at a time, process that you're talking to them and/or need the headphones to calm anxiety, walk to the restroom in their section, etc.
Also, when people ask about their connections, they're most likely nervous about the size of the airport and don't know if they'll have to walk 500 miles to get to their next gate. I think they don't realize that you don't get gate info until you're about to land.
Toni Watson thank you! I went to Africa in June, and had 3 different connection, I was so nervous my anxiety was on 10 it was my first time doing a connection.. I wish they understand..
She said that she understands people with illness have to do some of these things. Generally, it's people who are perfectly fine being annoying. Those are who she's talking about. Flight attendants may not know the airport either. Just download a map or look for one in the airport or asl a GA, you'll have better luck probably, esp. With the GA.
@@StrawberrySweetart and what toni's saying is that you cant always tell if someone has an 'invisible' disability, and you shouldnt really have to share that information with a stranger, just to get the help that you NEED either. just respect that most of the time, people dont ask unless they have to, simple as that.
@@StrawberrySweetart that's what I mean. Those of us with invisible disabilities don't often broadcast our condition so it's entirely possible to see one of us and not know that we're not just being a jerk. One time, a FA got mad at me about not doing something and the chief had to tell her that I couldn't do what she was asking. She didn't know that I was disabled because she was in the back when I pre-boarded. In sum, you can't always differentiate between the a-holes and the disabled. It's often easier on your sanity to assume the person is disabled first.
Also, my point regarding the connection was in defense of the infrequent flyers who don't understand the organizational structure. I think most people who watched long enough to hear this point are relatively frequent flyers who already know to ask the GA.
I was thinking this too. my child has a disability, he don't look it tho but is autistic,
im sorry but if im on a long haul flight im taking my shoes off. i will have comfy socks on, and would never go to the bathroom barefoot.
Totally with you on that
me too.
This girl needs a muzzle and a straight jacket. Shes lost her mind.
@@ateol it's none of her flippin business if you take your shoes off or not. What happened to shes getting paid to do a job-a customer service role at that! - she needs to smile and keep it moving and if she cant help adjust luggage in the upper bins or repeat they are out of coffee and tea (not sure why that should EVER happen) or "eww dont touch me" BS she needs to find a job shes qualified for. Clearly she is NOT physically or mentally qualified to be a flight attendant. Can you imagine if there was an emergency? Shes picking the pretty passengers first! I cant imagine any company wanting to pay someone to represent their brand in this mannerism. It's disgusting and these entitled brats are what's wrong with this world today!
I normally just wear slippers
I agree we should be stowing our baggage. But, uhm, Kat...we are packing a lot because we are charged really too much for simple bags. Southwest is my favorite airline.
I love it when I can gate check a bag for free. So much less hassle.
And the airlines have THEMSELVES partly to blame because they charge so many baggage fees. There was even an online article by a travel magazine that voraciously criticized the airlines for being greedy with baggage fees to the point that passenger injuries were soaring. Why? Too many head injuries from falling luggage. The passengers were trying to stuff anything in the overhead bin. And needless to say, flight delays were also through the ceiling.
Rebekah Bridges-Tervydis yup
I was thinking this too. If they chill with the baggage fees, more people would find it worth it to just check their bags. Flights are already expensive, so people are going to try to save money where they can.
so true!!
You guys have a tough job, and as a frequent flyer, I appreciate you! And I’m totally with you on the bare feet, especially going to the bathroom. That is probably NOT water on the floor. Just sayin’.
We always say that and people never seem to care. SO gross!
Kat Nesbitt very gross, and THEN they go back and put those feet on the seats and walls. Eeeeewwwww!
@@KatNesbitt On my last overseas flight, I sat next to a guy who took his shoes off in the first few minutes (no socks) and left them off for the entire trip. What really got me was when he crossed his legs and put his nasty foot right there next to my water bottle. Needless to say, I skipped drinking my water for the rest of the trip.
Shoes don't pick up the nasty stuff from the floor? Only bare feet?
I ALWAYS wear sandals or flip flops so I take my shoes off when I'm a passenger in the car, driving, at the movies, on a plane, etc. BUT when I stand up or walk anywhere I always put my shoes back on because that's grody. I never put my feet up when I'm sitting down. My feet are always on the ground so that's not a problem with touching people or anything 🤮 (And by on the ground I mean on top of my shoes because the ground is also disgusting.)
Didn’t even know we could access the galley?? 😳😳😳
Passengers come in all the time, especially when I'm eating like let me eat in peace
Same omg
@@katesmith8897 I was on a Finn air from helsinki to ord and I was invited to the galley as I knew one of the flight attendant we chatted for hrs off and on.
This video is actually really helpful because often when I'm on a flight I don't know the relevant etiquette. A lot of this is common sense but some it it is useful to know so I don't inadvertently offend/bother the flight attendant
what really gets me as a passenger is when upon landing and still traversing the runway hordes of people get up, grab their stuff and race to the front of the plane, crowding out the first 5 rows of still sensibly seated passengers..their bags hanging over you and rubbing on you as they twist and turn like lemmings anxious to jump off the cliff
Yep and, very roughly, how much time do they think they save? What does it achieve. The flight crew haven't even started to unlock the doors when these geniuses are on their feet. I just don't get it.☺
I dont work on a airplane but ive had customers actually rub my back and it pissed me off sooooooo bad i said "uh dont touch me" and it was akward as hell... people dont touch ANYONE working EVER!!!
That's so gross and inappropriate!!
Girl, when I was working in shoe sales I had people actually tap me on my back with display shoes. It took EVERYTHING in my body not to say something rude to them. What is wrong with people?!?
Netterz The thought of me touching you or anyone else I don’t know gross me out as well.
this has happened to me as well... very inappropriate and uncomfortable. Sad to know its common smh
Eeeeiiwwwwww!
As a passenger with a service dog (diabetic alert/seizure response/mobility assist who was trained by a program) I can't always lift my carry on. I pre-board and as such a flight attendant should probably realize I got on first for a reason and have gotten lip from one when I asked for help and she only stopped once she saw my service dog who was tucked nicely at the foot of my seat already. I do my best to pack my medical supplies efficiently and only bring enough IV fluids/TPN with me for two days but it can be heavy. In the U.S I have the majority of it shipped UPS to me from my home infusion company where ever I am going. I think about you guys when packing and appreciate your help. Using a little logic goes a long way in the above situation. Thankfully when I flew yesterday I had nice crew members helping me and the one of the officers said that seeing my service dog made his bad day much better. I was putting her through her paces to keep her mind busy from all the waiting around in the terminal in DCA when he was at the gate. He told me when he was back up at the gate awhile later and I let him pet her (golden/lab ret mix).
Being visually impaired, I actually can't even tell when the flight attendant is beside me, so in that case, I can't always remove my headphones in time. You can't always tell when someone is disabled, so be sensitive.
I have one for "things flight attendants do that annoy passengers"... We don't appreciate when you're rude for no reason, don't smile, and don't make eye contact whatsoever while having an interaction with us. (That's just my experience though).
Won’t the “bathroom juices” get trampled through the plane with shoes too? I get the feet thing though.
Lol she didn't think that one through did she
PapaBaush ewww
very true. I think mainly it's just gross to the person who is barefoot, but if theyre barefoot they probablyyyyy don't care
@Sophie P. Maybe she did but this is the career she thought she'd enjoy most. Insulting others for their career choices is petty.
@Sophie P. ew, rude.
Damn she even talks regularly like shes talking on the PA in the plane🤣
hahaha
@@annaswanson5903 yes hard to understand hahaha
That's exactly what I said to my son.
😹
And its annoying!
Not true about the connections! The airline often books the connection automatically when you book the flight.
Right they switched my flight now I have a 35 min connection wtf just let them know we are on the way. I didnt ask for this
You can pick your connection time
@@katesmith8897 But they rebook you sometimes. I planned a flight, my flight was delayed. The woman at the desk rebooked me and sent me on my way. I ran to catch the new flight. I got on the plane and found out once I sat down that the connection was only 45 minutes and through Poland, a place I'd never been before. Beyond the initial shock, I was then very worried I wouldn't make it.
Twice I've had situations where I didn't pick the connection.
A note about the “what do you have” part. I have to ask this at times because of a hidden disability. I have a brain injury and reading or visual work can sometimes become impossible. In stressful situations, there’s something that happens to brain injury survivors called flooding. It impairs several of our systems... including visual and memory/recall. A simple drink order can become impossible if we can’t recall what is normally offered as well as unable to read at the time. 1 in 10 people have a brain injury so chances are you have several passengers with invisible deficits 🤟🏻
I'm not a FA but an RN and I totally agree.We are professionals not your servant! ,and..
DO NOT TOUCH ME!!🤨
I can only imagine how many times people touch y'all! Especially when many of them may be ill!
Kayann Horn: OMG yup absolute pet hate of mine as a Nurse!!!
I just finished nursing school and I work as a nurse tech and I was thinking the SAME THING. I hate when people touch me or just ask me to do super bizarre things and treat me like some kind of peasant servant. Don't get me wrong, I love helping people and doing whatever I can do to make their hospital stay better but sometimes enough is enough. Also, I love videos like this, because I have my pet peeves about the public, and I like to know other people's pet peeves too so I don't do them. I just want to make any experience enjoyable for both me and the employees so everyone is happy.
JessaBelle717: It gets woooorse in Nursing!!! The longer the patient knows you the more physical contact. Another fav saying of mine is "lm not your therapist" you need to pay someone to listen to that stuff!!
@M Detlef All she said was that patients reach out and touch/grab her as a nurse the same way the passengers grab FA's. Calm down.
Or when the guy from aisle 3 has too much stuff, so he puts it in the overhead compartment for aisle 10, so you (in aisle 10) no longer have a place for your own luggage 😑😑😑
Or when you are sitting in the bulk head seat so you MUST put your personal carry on item in the over head bin, only to have some jerk come along and pile HIS bag on top of yours so you can't access it!
Or your in one of the forward rows and the pax in row 30 puts his luggage in your overhead locker because he doesn’t want to deal with it all the way to the back getting on or getting off. 🤨
Lol she even sounds like a flight attendant that’s talking over the PA
The connections thing! The airline usually books the connection, not the passenger.
There is a thing called minimum connection times. It’s illegal to book a connection outside those minimum connection times and the system won’t allow it. That being said, it still boggles the mind when AA to AA puts a minimum connection time of say 20-30 mins and you land at terminal A and you leave from terminal D or you land at gate 3 and leave from 31. You can’t get a cart to take you and you are always fighting the strolling passenger who has 2 hours to kill. I usually understand FAs okay, but never the pilots. They don’t have their boom mic close enough to their mouth when they’re speaking or forget about the raging engine noise keeping us in the air.
These all should be common sense. I mean who the hell pulls on the flight attendants' dress for a drink ?! And people walking barefoot on a plane wtf?
DoctorSkyway maybe a little kid that didn’t know, but that’s the only thing I can think of
As a flight attendant, EVERYONE. Every culture, color, orientation, sex, etc. They poke, prod, and even grab our asses. YES, it happens. She is speaking truth.
Old people do it. The clothes pulling thing.
@@elenagibbons4719 Unfortunately some people think taking off shoes and socks is perfectly ok.
Especially walking into the bathroom barefoot.
I BEG all passengers 1) Don't smoke an entire pack of cigarettes just before boarding 2) Don't bathe in perfume. Why? Other passengers could be allergic and your 'personal choices' could put an asthmatic in the emergency room.
Amen to that. The best smell is no smell. No one is missing your smell if you have none, but everyone has a differnt taste in perfumes. I prefere none, your dog probably likes rotten fish. Your perfume is not very differnt from that decomposing carcass. Smelling is the olfactoric way of being loud. Everybody agrees that shouting or singing loud in public is annoying, same with smelling. Get a shower before boarding, put on fresh cloth, and leave the stinch.
matekochkoch b
Nkomo
Then the people who smoke AND try to cover it with the layers of perfume. (I may or may not be related to some of those people. Holidays are hell for me. My sinuses are in turmoil for days after. I know which outfits not to wear, which winter coats do NOT get worn to certain family homes. Ya know?)
@@tinamarie2121 OMG yes. I dread our upcoming 8 hour flight. I hope if I need to move that the flight attendants are understanding. Probably better that than an emergency landing 2 hours after takeoff due to an asthma attack!
Jo Swearingen Same with perfumes and cologne. I can’t breathe.
with that many passengers on a flight, and so many flights you operate on. There's BOUND to be idiots, super tired people doing dumb stuff, or even drunk people... It's unavoidable and part of your job, patience is how you keep your mind healthy when some dumb person does something stupid.
Respect for your services.
You mentioned at the beginning of the video that it was going to be all tongue-in-cheek in a humorous way. I might have missed the humor, all I'm getting is cringeworthy criticism in a high-pitched voice which, if used in a cabin, instead of calming passengers can add to the already stressful experience of flying nowadays. I get it that there's a lot bothering you, but is there anything you actually enjoy which could justify you choosing to be a stewardess?
Agree with what you said except 2 items, often cannot understand a word over the intercom and I book flights by departure and destination, the airline puts the connections together, not me. They should know better as to what is appropriate for an on time flight better than me😁
Exactly
So all the flight attendances should just know every connection? RIIIIIIIIIIGHT lol
@@pixie1310 no, but her comment was for passengers not to book close connections, and my response was about that comment. And they often do get information about connections as I have been told to hurry to my connection as they are holding the flight for me.
Exactly!!!! How does she not know WE ARENT THE ONES CHOOSING CONNECTING FLIGHTS?!??
Maria Baloch and my comment was not about her not knowing the connections. It was that she said we should not book tight connections. We don’t! We book a flight from A to B that the airline packages with a connection. They are the experts on connections, not most passengers. A customer may get stressed when an airline is running late and they may not get to their destination and therefore have to spend hours to overnight in a new location missing who knows what they were planning at their location.....a wedding, a funeral, a weeklong cruise, a chance to say goodbye to a loved one.
OMG...most of what you said I get but for real. Connecting flights get booked all at once. We can’t alway book a different one, so if someone asks about how long they have because the only connecting flight that they were able to book was only 35 mins after, please don’t get mad.
I love flight attendants! Thank you for all the service to you, Kat and all the amazing flight attendants out there! I try my best on flights to be the person who never had to get up, when I’m seated, I’m seated the entire flight and I am also the person who always tries to pay attention to the flight attendants’ announcements and service…everyone really should be mindful of the flight attendants, they’re just doing their jobs!
Girl. I travel internationally all the time, and so much of this stuff is just so uncalled for. There are people who have invisible disabilities. Touch is a huge part of being human. As long as someone isn’t being purposefully disrespectful, all of this stuff is only stuff that’s gonna make you feel worse, being pissed about them.
Please know that some people have illnesses that make it so that we cannot control when we need to use the toilet. I'm one of them. I frequently have to use a toilet with little to no warning. Of course this doesn't explain all those cases, but it's more common than you think, as most of us are pretty embarrassed by our conditions so we don't say anything.
Other than that, I think your comments are RIGHT ON! I will sometimes take my shoes off, but socks ALWAYS stay on, feet stay in my allotted space, and those shoes go right back on if I have to use the bathroom. EWWW!
You should try baby pants for your problem
@@PheonixStarsx That's rude. It's bad enough having a health problem like this without remarks like this.
@@zenderlee sweetheart ,dont be embarrassed before the flight you can approach the F/a discreetly & explain that you have a medical condition that requires you to use the restrooms frequently, if saying it embarrasses you, you can always write us a little note with your seat number & a brief explanation ...We NEED To be aware of these things so we do not "scold" you about being up when the seatbelts sign is on or when we are in the aisle with the carts....OR...like explained above on International Flights There is a T.S.A regulation that states Pax Must utilize the facilities in the cabin in which they are ticketed the EXCEPTION is for elderly, disabled, people traveling with very small children & Folks with Medical conditions... And even on domestic flights when pax are "allowed" to use the First class lavatory we cannot have a line in front of the cockpit door so we may ask for someone to wait at the curtain...This Makes people FURIOUS & Insulted because they think it's about Class of cabin & ticket cost, So when I'm the #1 (person who makes the announcement) I make an announcement right after take off that includes the Following " Ladies & Gentlemen welcome aboard Flight 666 to HADES 👹🙉I say some required things & then Say I'm sure most of you have a movie or Book to Enjoy So I'm Going To make a Deal , I wont make ANY announcements that are Not Important to either your safety or your comfort , So when we Do make one I'm going to ask that you do give us your Full Attention, And that also goes for any requests/directives given to You by A Flight attendant..blah blah then I give the T.S.A directive and State Firmly Folks this RULE IS NOT MADE UP BY THE CREW TO BE ELITIST , ITS NOT ABOUT CLASS OF CABIN ITS ABOUT THE PROXIMITY THAT LAVATORY IS TO THE COCKPIT DOOR, SO IF WE ASK THAT YOU STAND AT THE CURTAIN please dont take it personally
Yep. I'm disabled so often times when I gotta go I have no choice in when it occurs.
I'm often annoyed with having to use the airplane bathroom, too, truuuuust me.
zenderlee I also have this problem when we landed on my last flight I suddenly jumped up to run for the John the flight attendant said hey take your seat ,I responded with I have IBSD so if you don’t let me go it will be on the floor,they waved me on towards the John !
Things flight attendants do that annoy me: I board a plane planning to be super-nice and easy to manage and I've read Heather Poole's book and I'm thinking: I'm gonna make an effort to say thank you and be friendly... and then during the whole damn flight, not a single flight attendant even makes eye contact with me, not even when asking me if I'd like a drink or what I'd like to eat. Easy way to let the passenger know you really don't give a damn. It was a transatlantic flight and the crew was totally indifferent and just not... able to have any human interaction. I get that you're busy but you're still dealing with individuals. (American Airlines btw.)
I always eye contact during my bev service, it would be awkward not to and I appreciate your effort
Omg, that's all? Safety is #1.
Things flight attendants say that annoy their passengers. HAHA
I ABSOLUTELY appreciate this video. Like you really don't know what you may be doing wrong or how you're irritating people who work for airlines until someone tells you and explains to you why and how. I work retail and I wish I was able to give a short announcement about leaving drinks/food on tables , focibly trying to open fitting rooms when you need a key, making your own line at the register, or asking about a price when I am busy, every 10 minutes to customers to make our lives easier . So I really appreciate this type of content. Now I feel more informed and even though I knew most of this cuz it should be common sense, I feel like I will know for certain what to do and how to act next time I fly somewhere so thank you so much for this honest content!
While I sympathize with the inconvenience to flight attendants re: passengers standing in the galley too long, this would undoubtedly be much less of a problem if airlines provided reasonable seat space and leg room.
True but that's not the flight attendants' fault and still makes their job harder.
Yes but then everyone would complain about higher ticket prices...
Not going to happen, those days are over. It's all about getting more seats into one aircraft. Passengers are not allowed to hang out there, either way.
@Jeff Webb It's not BS. Read about the Hawaiian Airlines evacuation that just happened a few days ago. The crew got about 200 people out in UNDER 60 seconds. Some smaller aircraft only seat 50-100 people. Passengers hinder evacuations by grabbing their bags/going into overhead bins, ETC, even when an aircraft is burning in flames. It's the selfishness and entitlement of the generation nowadays. 40 or so people died in the recent Aeroflot evacuation, including a flight attendant, because passengers were going into bins to grab bags before they exited.
Andreea Dobre they already overcharge for plane tickets though
Once on a school trip our plane got delayed quite a lot which made your connection time 1 minute, the flight attendants on board where really helpful, as soon as they where able to contact a gate agent they arranged for our group to go through special security in the gate we landed in, instead of having to go to the main airport by shuttle to get checked (we went through so fast 2 minutes for 10 people), as well as someone who helped us get to the right gate. We didn't get there in 1 minute but they got us there in time to fly with out next flight ! I'm still amazed and thankful they where able to do that
That is so awesome!! I love hearing stories like that because the extra effort really does completely change some people's trips!
I'm guitly for the "what do you have?" one, but I was 14 at the time and YEARS had passed since I had been on a plane, also I didn't have a menu so IDK if I was wrong for asking that. Never had the wrong intentions.
I used to check my luggage, even if I had to pay to do it. But after having my luggage lost and damaged a few times, I've given up. Now I've got a carry on and avoid checking luggage at all costs.
Many pax (passengers) are nervous just for getting on a plane. Many are exhausted after long flights. Many are taking that dream vacation they've been saving for.
There's rude, for sure, but there's everything else. I'd never assume people did what they did knowing better. Pax wanted to use the restroom during boarding, or service? Perhaps he's incontinent! Perhaps he's nervous. Perhaps a myriad of things happened at the gate and he couldn't go before the flight. Perhaps he had no time between connecting flights.
Short connections... that's not the fault of the pax! Inexperienced pax assume what the company is proposing should be ok. And if a flight is late, it's not a problem to talk to pax and reassure him. It isn't true one can't do a thing. A word is free and can calm a pax.
What I'm used to see is FA who'd pretend not to notice the call light. Walk too fast on the aisle to avoid pax requests.
I fly a lot and I see poor service and bad will very often. Like FA letting the food trays for too long, ignoring pax calling, speaking in a way no one can understand on PA... even ignoring safety rules one learns at FA training.
I think better airways/airports and better FA would make better pax. Not the other way around.
Imagine being a flight attendant in Asia and not liking when ppl take off their shoes... as a frequent traveler to east Asia I almost always get slippers, no matter what class, and I've got to say that I always get a bit offended whenever the airlines doesn't provide slippers 😂 pretty much 90% of the ppl onboard will be without shoes on esp during the long haul flights and can't say I'm not one of them 😅
The handing out of slippers was an unexpected perk when we flew to Japan. It was so nice!
Yep I went with Korean Air and as soon as people got seated they all took their shoes off and went straight for the slippers lol
How about this grand idea 💡 ..... BRING YOUR OWN SLIPPERS ! 🎤
I need to fly on Asian airlines then! I too like the slippers. My feet get hot in shoes.
Some passengers forget, the primary job of flight attendants is to keep everybody safe. Some passengers treat them like waitresses and waiters in the sky.
My mom is one of those types. I had to constantly remind her that as they say "It's my job to save your ass, not kiss it."
That’s used as an excuse all to often by many us carriers employees. Goes to prove exactly why Qatar and Singapore are far better airlines.
Serving is a large part of that job though
As a FA myself, thanks for reminding ppl
That's true, but some passengers, usually always men do abuse it and take advantage of FAs. I have never even pushed the Service button. I would personally never order hot coffee or tea, especially as a window seater!
Really hoping your H.R. department never sees these videos. Lol
That said, as a 20+ year retail warrior, I feel a lot of your pain because a lot of the things you mentioned also happen in retail settings.
I will always listen to you and always get off my phone when I check out at a store!!
Don't take your shoes off? What? Many international airlines give you socks to wear in the plane so you can be comfortable.
I was wondering the same 🤷🏻♀️
If it’s short haul just don’t
jabulani6666 probably means not to take socks off
Eren Parla sock DEFINITELY mustn’t come off !
Just because it’s an international airline, doesn’t mean it’s luxurious. Regardless, all planes are disgusting, especially the floors and restrooms.
Thank you! Everything you’ve said drives me crazy! AND I’M A PASSENGER. I also want to thank you, sometimes the PA “we are only serving water” and I get motion sickness - I am really good about taking meds and the proper amount. But, when the plane is delayed - OMG - I was dying one fight, major turbulence and I was green - sitting in the last row of the plane . . . I looked at the flight attendant and said “please, gingerale” he smiled - and handed me a can. THANK YOU! YOU all are under rated, over worked, and under appreciated. Take that from someone who knows, I worked for 9-1-1 for almost 40 years. Keep doing what you do - most of us appreciate it!
I remember my first time on aJapan Airlines flight, and the petite flight attendants were helping people get their bags into the overhead compartment. Organized, quick, efficient. The plane was boarded quickly, all the passengers in their seats and buckled- in part because of those helpful flight attendants. Then, I got my connecting flight on American Airlines, and I actually laughed to see a FA standing next to a passenger who was struggling to get his luggage up. "Come on", she said- just watching him- "you need to get that up there". I figured it must be some US legal thing (so thanks for mentioning it), but still.
I love how she talks with such a cadence like a flight attendant, its so calming
Totally unrelated but why are you sitting in an empty house??
she didn't press the button to get the furniture sales assistants attention.. :)
My FIRST thought too....totally weird.
Maybe a minimalist lifestyle.☺

Flight attendant P. A. voice really came out in this one 😂
Even when I understand the PA accouncements, it has been exactly the same every time I`ve ever flown. Still, it`s a sign of respect for the people who are looking out for your safety to at least refrain from conversations while the PA is on. Actually people should refrain from conversations period. I would pay extra for a no talking/no children flight. A quiet flight can be so relaxing, actually something I look forward to after a long busy trip somewhere. Why people insist on making conversations with random strangers at 6AM is a mystery.
Watched one video of yours, currently watching this one ... Due to go on my first ever long haul flight and I'm subscribing to you!!! You are chirpy and lovely and can't wait to see more from you!! 💛💜💛💜💛
I'm just curious, what would you do if a deaf/hard of hearing passenger on a plane not able to understand the PA system? I'm deaf myself and I never understand the PA announcements
There is an instruction sheet for each seat to follow along with the PA instructions. In-flight magazine, sick bag and instruction sheet all in the back of the seat in front of you 😀 Happy travels ☀
@@nohandel Yes, I read the instruction packet but what about other announcements like she mentioned in the video?
@@Taydelphia when you sit next to me, Let me know I can assist you and Let me know when you require assistance 😀 Have a Wonder Filled Day Beautiful Soul ☀
@@Taydelphia most of the announcements are the same as the info sheet. For announcements that are different I would recommend letting one of the flight attendants know you are deaf. I'm sure they would be happy to write the information down for you. I would recommend letting the flight crew know you are deaf anyway. That way if there is an emergency situation they know that you can't hear instructions.
@@SurelyIjest206 are there always flight attendants that speak ASL because it's not fair to expect people to be able to lip read, which is so common
The audacity to take the socks off when you're in such a tight space, like- Put yo dusty crusty toe stench out of my atmosphere
Sat next to a passenger who took her socks off - and it was a 9 hour flight. She is blessed by some kind of foot god: her feet had absolutely no odor. I wonder how the hell that's even possible. Our feet stink because we have sweat glands in them. We can sweat half a cup of fluid through our feet every DAY!
this made me howl, thank you xD xD
I agree with the bare feet, thats gross but am I the only one who's all good if you take your shoes off on a long haul flight and if your socks and feet don't smell?
I travel from Michigan to Florida and I take my shoes off and when we are getting close I switch to flip flops. My feet don’t smell though
Oh my gawd, I remember being on a TEN hour flight from Europe to the US and the girl sitting next to me took off her shoes and socks and PROPPED them up on her carry-on bag! It was pure luck that she didn't have stinky feet. But then, she got up and went to the lav barefoot!
Too funny! Love this video :) And love your eye makeup!
Omg last night I was flying back to New York and the flight attendant was a PA Pam and as a fellow FA I was thinking “This is why people don’t listen”
I agree with this in general. But I have had issues though with flight attendants ignoring the call button when there is no obvious reason. When I finally got up myself, they were all hanging out and chatting in the galley like it was a break room and paying zero attention to the passengers. Not that I would ever grab or touch the flight attendants, but please pay attention to the call bell.
I agree! You never know when it's going to be an emergency!
Great points today! Have you noticed that certain nationalities on international flights behave differently from Americans? I read a story by a FA who said on a flight from Germany to the US the majority of passengers were German and near the end of the flight as he went to collect trash from the passengers all of the Germans had neatly packed all of their trash in the empty food boxes and it made the trash collection so fast and efficient. None of the FA's on board could believe that he was able to clean up all the the cabins in such a short time! Would love to hear your comments about this. As always, take care and Happy Travels! Have a great weekend!
That is true! That happens often when I work to Frankfurt or Munich! They are very organized and efficient! Every nationality has their own cultural habits and quirks, even Americans lol! And thank you!
I have been living in Germany for 20 years now. Ordnung muss sein! There must be order!!!
I've been learning German because of my husband and I am so proud I actually knew what you said haha!
@@calise8783 dang, I need to move there 😂
I noticed how well behaved European and Asian children are. They are quiet, they don’t run around and the parents seem to discipline them better.
I love your video. I should make something like that for airport agents side.
I always suspected flight attendant are constantly frustrated and dislike me for doing the wrong thing or freezing up because I don't know what's going on or what I'm supposed to do. I travel by plane rarely and find it stressful and confusing. Thanks for confirming your total lack of sympathy, now I don't have to worry about it.
Except for the thing about people touching you. Wtf is up with that, everyone knows you can't just grab someone.
blank as a frequent traveler I understand where your coming from. I promise most airport staff/fa's/airline personell are very kind and will be helpful
I'm a frequent flyer but I get so stressed and tired and overwhelmed on flights, that I often react really badly, or forget how to speak. Most FAs have been really kind, but I did get one or two that were just rude and seemed to assume that I was purposely being annoying.
I always travel carry-on only with a hardsided case and can usually manage just fine getting my bag in the overhead (I'm 5'2). Flying back from Mardi Gras in New Orleans last year my first flight was fine but my second was on a slightly different model. Case kept catching on a lip inside the overhead that I couldn't see. I was struggling while other PAX nearby looked at me all judgy and tsking until a guy got up to help me and I thanked him for getting my Mardi Gras beads home safely. That cracked him right up! Lol Being polite, patient, and funny goes a long way when travelling!
Hahaha! Yes it does go along way and I like a nice seatmate passenger! They really can be so helpful!
As a fellow flight attendant I 100% agree with this video! All of these are on point!!
Haha thank you!!
One thing I hate about passengers is when we land and they're behind me and they won't let me get off the plane because they think they are special and need to go first.
Thanks for the info! I've only been on a couple flights and this actually gave me a lot of helpful "this is how it works" info for our next flight!
#1 Thing that gets on flight attendants' nerves: When people steal all of their furniture.
I can never understand the PA it’s not clear on most flights especially if you’re seated in the back.. The bathroom thing you can’t help when you need to go.
On regards the headphone comment, I was amazed that you didn't mention as an exception people who suffer from anxiety and use headphone to reduce noise (not cancelling noise). I usually keep my headphones on because I am not listening to music but flying gives me anxiety and I just need something that calms me down (silence)
Mariana Palazuelos I was thinking the same! I keep my headphones on pretty much the whole time due to sensory issues, but I do my best to stay aware of flight attendants trying to get my attention. I understand her frustration, but it some of her comments felt a bit ignorant.
Aubrey Danae yes she's a bitch and I think FA hate passengers
I'm sure they understand there are folks that for whatever reason need to keep their headphones on, but during service she does mention the waves as well, and surely one can see that, or the people in your row putting out their trays, out the corner of your eye. I think it's just a general "be more aware" suggestion, in her "roasting" style.
Yeah, I wear earplugs during flights not because of anxiety but to avoid headaches and there's no way I'm taking them out every time the waitress wants to get my attention.
@@sciadredan5410 they're not waitresses...
Thanks, this was helpful. I hope I have you as my flight attendant one day!
Frequent flier. I can see why these are your pet peeves-many are mine, too. I think one reason so many people bring stupidly big carry ons is they’re feeling like the airlines are nickling and dining them. I think this ends up being taken out on the FA’s when it’s not your fault-just a frustrating situation.
Yes I think so too. I also think it's weird they can't check it for free at the counter but can at the gate? Which forces many people to bring it on to the plane.
Exactly!
This. I hate when people do that. I feel if I have to pay $30 for a bag, they should too.
@@KatNesbitt I fly Air NZ a lot. They weigh our check in and have a wee cage, if your carry on doesn't fit - it isn't carry on! This occurs at check in.
Gretchen Hanna nickel and diming them.
on all the flights I’ve been on the flight attendant has always helped me if I couldn’t put it away
Next time speak up. They don’t want to wake you in case you’re not feeling well. You can’t blame them for respecting your sleep.
I take off only my shoes only when I'm flying business/first class. Usually, because the airline will have slippers. But I overpaid for a first-class flight, so I think I can take off my shoes for a bit to sleep or recline. But I am incredibly polite to flight attendant staff while in First Class or any part of the cabin. I read the information card, I listen to the PAs, and I'll let flight staff know if I don't want to be bothered. I also do ask the flight staff to help with me find a place for my luggage if I can't find a space myself, or I ask my bag to be gate-checked. Other than all of that, preach it.
It’s all so logical. There are always those who are oblivious. Thx so much for sharing.
Kat, I work as a service attendant on passenger trains here in Canada and you literally hit the nail on the head with alllll these things! I see this stuff all the time on the trains and I'm having to have the same conversations with my passengers as you do with yours! The top ones for me are connections (how can you book another train with an 8 min buffer..) overhead bins (cmon ppl) and HEADPHONES in while I'm making my announcements or trying to serve you a beverage etc UGH!! Thanks for making this :)
Hahaha so relatable and what an awesome job to have!! How did you decide to get into that if I may ask?
Kat Nesbitt honestly I have always loved train travel and it kind of just came up! I went to school to be a nutritionist and ended up working on trains instead! Haha :)
Tracking the "bathroom juices" would occur whether with shoes or without. The fright should be to everyone, not just you.
Came here to say this. Probably more since shoes have crevices for all that stuff to collect. People are tracking poopoo germs everywhere shoes, and hands. :)
This one is just insane, even without the bathroom issue there is NO WAY I am sitting for 14 hours with my shoes on, she's nuts.
@@alittlebitgone I never understood this weird american foot phobia. I heard some people even wear shoes inside the house, while chilling on the couch or watching TV, which is just mind boggling to me.
AWSOME!video hopeful this will help people i'v never been on a airplane but this was veary helpful so i know how to treat and respect my flight attendant! ty so much ur so AWSOME!
Your great 😁 loved the video everything you said is so true ! We’ve traveled from Okinawa to the states sooooo many times I feel your pain. I have to say for the most part our flight attendants were amazing and so patient with my talkative boys
I’m a ramper that just got stuck with a needle in a seat back pocket. It’s been a nightmare of tests and blood draws. People for the love a Pete. Dispose of stuff properly. Give the FA’s your dang trash. Don’t leave your chewing tobacco cups. Don’t let kids color on the tray tables. Don’t leave dirty diapers. If you miss the target in the bathroom clean it up. Haha you hit some triggers
Chewing Tobacco cups? Are you flying in a western movie?
God Bless all of you flight attendants. I couldn't get through one flight as a flight attendant with so many people who are rude, entitled and unaware of themselves.
You have to realize along with other flight attendants sometimes the person is ending an EXTREMELY long day of traveling and dont want to be bothered. Guess what headphones are for? To drown out other people so you can sleep. I'm living in Switzerland due to my job and i fly back the US often. When I dont get a direct flight to my destination I have been traveling for 24 hours. How would you like it if you have been traveling for 24 hrs and people are bothering you. This little common sense stuff is why I dont travel on US airlines anymore. European airlines use common sense and dont bother people when they have headphones in
It's _so_ weird to hear someone say bare feet on planes are gross because of the feet, rather than the nasty-ass carpet that hasn't been vacuumed since before two hundred street shoes walked across it. When I take my shoes off on a long flight I make _certain_ to keep my socks on, just so my nice recently-showered feet (don't make strangers wallow in your stink for five hours, kids) don't directly touch anything inside the vomit comet. And I put my shoes back on before hitting the bathroom, natch.
Also, seconding the top-rated comment about PA announcements being a garbled mess most of the time.
Definitely with you on most of these Kat.👍👏👏👏
I like to take my shoes off😳 but - I leave the socks on and I keep them where feet should be. And if I need to get up I take them on. Not going into a bathroom without shoes on🙈
PA's is sooo difficult to listen too though, because you speak to quickly and it sounds like you are close to a mic, but maybe a feet or two away 😂
Yup, this one is nuts, she seriously expects me to sit for 14 hours with my shoes on.
Dean Bergen agreed! I know it's not the same as being home, but taking of shoes and keeping your feet to yourself should be okay 🙈
Dean Bergen I feel like she really hates her job
Priceless!! Flying would be so much more pleasant if everyone just remembered their basic manners!
Watching this on how to be a better passenger 🙏🏼 thank you!
I travel a lot and I have nothing but GOOD experiences with flight attendants.
Thanks for taking care of me!!
Cheers
* eating chocolate in my Paris hotel room* watching this like Yup! Mmhhmm you tell em girl! 😂 “ you skipped your manners” ☠️☠️ #sayitlouderforthepeopleintheback 🗣🗣🗣🗣
Hahaha *reading your comment wishing I was also in Paris eating chocolates right now*
Take me to Paris, Carissa. Thank you.
Great video. I don’t fly often and my husband is disabled, so I have to handle everything for him as well. There are so many resourceful videos people can watch if they don’t fly often, that there’s really no excuse for bad behavior.
I'm sorry to hear that about your husband! Yes, I'm never rude to passengers even when I do get annoyed but I agree there is lots of good info out there!
not sure why this vid was in my recommendations, glad i watched it thou. Now a subscriber and probably gonna spend the next hour binge watching your other vids.
These are all common sense and courteous good manners that lots of people seem to forget or never learned! Thanks Kat for either telling people what is proper human response or reminding them. Jeez what has happened to some of the general public ! Have a wonderful day and thanks again
Thank you for the good info,going on a vacation trip and will be flying with my 8 year old son.It will be his first time.
As a customer I expect flight attendants to be one in charge of safety and to customer service friendly. I don’t expect them to complain about the customers in public. I wonder which major carrier to work for that would allow this.
mflynn2009 exactly
Nice I found the karen
I was flying from Sydney, Australia to Newark here in the states. That's a long flight, and neither the flight attendant nor my seatmate woke me up for the in-flight meal. I wasn't mad, but super annoyed because I was starving the whole time!
My best friend is a flight attendant and I must say to you, thank you for Everything you do to keep us safe! You are appreciated more than you know! Love you guys! Actually, your pet peeves are mine as well. They drive me crazy! From the bare feet which just skeeves me to no end, to the trash. There’s but so much you can Do. I keep a little plastic bag with me to contain my clutter as sometime they don’t get back to me and I can toss it on my way out. Loved the video! Keep them coming!🥰❤️
when i get on the plane with my comfort wolverine, everyone looks at me funny
Things FA do that annoy passengers ... 1. Do not touch me. The touching thing works both ways female/male, male/female. My wife or daughters may lay their hand on my forearm, nobody else, period. Do not touch me. 2. Selective enforcement of rules/policies. I see this one constantly. Depending on the mood of the FA, a policy is overlooked or enforced. 3. The tremendous increase of attention to FA deadheading. Compliments of the chef! When a deadheading FA is seated in economy, they get 1st class treatment. A real feel-bad for all the non-airline employee passengers. So...the annoyances work both ways! The world has changed, including the world of airline travel. Passengers are herded like cattle. Passengers wear their PJ's on planes. FA used to be glamorous, now they most definitely are not. Things are not like they used to be. I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing. The world evolves. Things change.
since childhood i wanted to be a flight attendant. when I learnt what the job requirements are, your benefits and salary- i changed my plan. i do NOT dare complain about anything that you do. i am so appreciative of any service that you provide for us passengers. in fact, since i learnt that it is customary to tip- i do PLUS i write a thank you note and send to mgmt. u can always find something good to recognise in the service.
love your channel, Kat.
Thank you for this video Kat - my daughter was a flight attendant for a big UK airline a few years ago & some of her stories were hilarious & beyond belief - the general public are something else, really something else. This video is sooooo helpful & I hope that passengers watch it & inwardly digest!!! I love flying - for me it’s all part of a holiday - I love airports too (sad, I know!!) - I could sit all day & people watch, but then I’d probably miss my flight 🤣🤣🤣. I’ve watched several of your videos & love them all - thanks ❤
