Flight attendants will always go above and beyond in order to accommodate passengers and make their flight more enjoyable. This includes providing special perks many travelers don’t even realize are possible.
Content creator Sandra Jeenie Kwon, who used to work as a flight attendant for several airlines, recently decided to share some of these perks with travelers in a viral video shared on TikTok.
In the clip, which got 4.6 million views, Kwon disclosed seven things that people usually don’t know they can ask on a flight. And some of them are quite surprising.
According to Kwon, passengers who feel that their seatbelt is too tight can ask for an extender that will provide a better fit. This way you can feel both safe and comfortable. Additionally, all planes have a first aid kit so don’t hesitate to ask for help if you are feeling nauseous, have a headache, or accidentally cut yourself.
When it comes to drinks and food, Kwon says there is nothing wrong with asking for more. Instead of having a drink in the cup during drink service, you can ask for a whole can. Also, if you had a meal and are still feeling hungry, you can ask for a second meal and will be given one. The airlines carry extra and usually throw them away if not used.
Finally, the flight attendants always look out for plane enthusiasts. You can take a photo in the cockpit after the flight is done and get a pin or a trading card as a souvenir. Just remember to ask.
