I spent weeks digging through real flight attendant confessions for this one — and honestly, some of these shocked even me 😳✈
Which one do you think is the worst habit passengers still do?

There are too many people on flights these days who have no manners.

This video should be played on a constant loop at all airline boarding gates, to be viewed by passengers waiting to board the planes.

I’m a flight attendant and LOVE my job. I’ve been doing this wonderful job for 26 years. This is the best video I’ve seen on You Tube. Thank you so much for informing passengers of what to do and not to do. Keep up the good job on making these kids of videos.

Please everyone take a shower before your flight.

The tray table diaper thing horrified me. I’ve never seen it happening, but people who do that obviously should be publicly shamed.

Each overhead bin is marked with a seat number. Put YOUR luggage in YOUR bin.

I was once hugged by a FA when leaving the plane. She thanked me for being the only smiling, friendly and not rude demanding passenger on that plane … Another FA upgraded me to Business midflight, after my seat neighbor acted rude for a while …

I used to work for an airline, loading/unloading bags and cleaning the cabin in between, let me tell you there’s nothing worse than reaching into the seat back and pulling out a dirty diaper

Retired with 38 years f/a service: a personal (really big!) pet peeve -- put your tray table down BEFORE the food choice cart arrives at your row .. ÀND determine your (small) child's FOOD CHOICE BEFORE we arrive at your row too !! Aaargh!

1955 I was 4 kneeling in a prop plane seat when the plane dropped 4000 feet suddenly then bounced back up 5000 feet during food service! Disaster! I was knocked unconscious, the Air hostess was scaled with hot coffee, one broke her leg! The entire cabin looked like a WAR zone! We made an Emergency landing and had to be taken to numerous Hospitals! I had a Concussion! I ALWAYS wear my seatbelt throughout my flight now and I am 74!

When you said “tray table diaper change”, I screamed out loud. THE AUDACITY!

You know there is nothing wrong with being courteous. I was on a flight from Johannesburg to Singapore. The flight crew were friendly. I must say I don't fly that often. The one flight attendant was so friendly, we got chatting and so on. As we were deplaning, she told me to wait. She came back with two of the first class little baggies with tooth brush, toothpaste and so on. She thanked me so much.

I use the restroom before I board the plane and only have one bag that I place under the seat in front of me. I haven’t done any of these things. I say please and thank you to FA’s.

Also when the crew come to you be courteous and appreciative!

I think this video should be on the menu for movies and videos available during the flight. It’s too good to be missed.

As a retired nurse I could make a list. Half of patient's bell ringing is for things that are asked of the air attendants. We called some of our patients frequent fliers. That's repeaters that came in and know what might be available.

If people could not be bothered to take off the earphones and respond the crew should just move on

"Dont turn the cabin into a public dumpster" 46 yrs flying myself and I thank you for addressing these concerns to the customers/ passengers that we truly love to serve. Your video is wonderful ❤

#13 is my pet peeve as a fairly frequent flyer.

I've heard hundreds of safety presentations and I still pay attention to each one, especially the ones still given in person by the crew. Giving flight attendants your undivided attention for those 2-3 minutes may not only potentially save your life, it will let the flight attendants know you respect their job and their time, and sometimes that gives you perks, like more smiles and possibly more snacks.

But it's mainly about respect. The last thing anyone wants - including you - is to feel like you don't matter at your job.
