First Impressions
This may seem a bit odd, considering most want to be comfy on flights and opt for sweats, but the crew does look at your clothes. Apparently, putting some effort into your appearance can get you better treatment. Flight attendant Steffanie Rivers said, “I first notice how passengers are dressed. Some people dress as if they made an effort to put forth a positive impression. Others look as if they grabbed clothes off the floor and ran out of the house.” However, it also works to acknowledge them when you board.

Intense Schedule
Like we’ve been trying to tell you, the life of a flight attendant is very intense. They work long hours and take several trips even within a day. One crew member explained, “We don’t have a working week, per se, but we can work up to eight days in a row if they’re all two-sector short haul routes. We can also work up to four flights a day, or operate two 15-hour flights in four days. Regulation is that we have 20 minutes of break every 12 hours.”
