The post Ex-Flight Attendant Shares 7 Things You Didn’t Know You Can Ask for on a Flight appeared first on Traveler Master.
]]>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.

]]>Most travelers agree that the only situation in which it is acceptable to ask someone to switch seats is if you are a parent who couldn’t get a seat alongside their young child any other way. In all other circumstances, asking someone to switch seats is considered a big no-no.
However, this usually doesn’t stop people from trying and relying on the sympathy of a stranger to score a better seat or get seated alongside their family, friends, or partner. If you ever find yourself in this kind of situation and don’t want to give up your seat, consider reacting like this.
People usually believe that there is no harm in asking. You should also take the same approach and see no harm in declining. Politely decline the request and say that you are not interested in moving. Whether you offer any reasons for your decision is completely up to you.
If the stranger continues to try and pressure you into switching the seat, simply get comfortable and stop giving them attention. They should quickly get the memo and give up.
In case nothing else works and you get tired of saying no, simply inform the flight attendant. Tell them about the issue you are having and they will take it from there.

]]>Rather than carrying multiple bottles of vitamins and pills, determine what you need to bring on your trip and place everything in a single pill box. This way, you avoid wasting space in your luggage while also making it easier to find what you’re looking for if you need to take medication while flying.
Not only is it best to bring a set of headphones or earphones you find comfortable, but you aren’t always guaranteed to receive some from the airline. What’s more, even if you do receive complimentary earphones, the audio quality might not be as good as your own. Sometimes, it’s better to not take an unnecessary risk.
While a regular luggage tag can play a big role in helping you identify your suitcase, a smart tag will ensure that you can track it down at any point during your journey. This will enable you to travel with peace of mind, knowing that your belongings remain safe.

]]>While booking a direct flight to your chosen destination can be expensive, booking a different flight that has a layover in your destination of choice may turn out cheaper. For example, let’s say you want to fly from Washington D.C. to Dallas. While a direct flight may be expensive, a flight from Washington D.C. to Los Angeles with a layover in Dallas may be cheaper. In this case, you would fly to Dallas for your layover and simply not get on your flight to Los Angeles. Still, how risky is this maneuver?
If you book a ticket like this, then make sure not to travel with checked bags as these will proceed to the final destination. Also, many airlines void tickets if they see this practice in use. So, make sure not to do this with your favorite airline if you choose to take the risk of doing some skiplagging.
Ultimately, skiplagging can save you a lot of money. So long as you avoid checking in baggage and taking the risk of doing this practice with your favorite airline, then skiplagging can certainly be worth a try.

]]>The best thing you can possibly do before anything gets out of hand is to just play dumb. What that means is that if you’ve got your headphones on, or you’re watching a movie, just pretend like you don’t hear the person next to you who’s trying to get your attention. This allows the person to slowly realize that they should stop, and also saves them the embarrassment of knowing they bothered you.
If there’s absolutely no way to prevent actual human conversation, then you may chat for a moment or two with them just to be polite. But when you feel like it’s gone too far, you must be honest with them—but politely and casually. Just say in a nonchalant, casual manner, “Yeah, I’m actually about to go to sleep”, or “About to watch to a movie”, or something that seems organic and in the flow of things. As long as you’re honest about your intentions, they’ll stop.

]]>Perhaps one of the most underrated things to do on a flight is to do something productive or creative. Whether it’s catching up on some work, or contributing to a personal project that you’ve pushed off for so long, this can be an excellent way to pass time on a flight and feel good about yourself in the process.
There’s something innately satisfying about waking up from a long, well-deserved nap on a flight. It’s like you know deep down in your soul that it was necessary, and that you skipped many flight hours in the process. If you’re able to actually pass out, we’d highly recommend giving it a try.
Come on, don’t pretend like you aren’t tempted to peruse through the wide array of movies and TV shows that your airline offers. Bring a nice pair of headphones, not the dinky kind that they offer you, and you’ll be immersed in the beautiful world of whatever film you’re watching.

]]>Here’s how to make sure you’re comfortable. Wear loose-fitting clothing and pack a neck pillow, eye mask, and earplugs. These items can make a huge difference in your comfort level and help you relax.
Next, create a soothing environment. Close your window shade to block out the light, and play some calming music or white noise to drown out the sounds of the plane. Aromatherapy can also be helpful. Try lavender or chamomile to help you relax.
If you’re having trouble falling asleep, try some relaxation techniques. Deep breathing, meditation, and visualization can all help calm your mind and body, and you’ll be passed out in no time at all.
Finally, consider the timing of your flight. If you’re taking a red-eye flight, try to adjust your sleep schedule leading up to the trip. This can help you feel more tired when it’s time to sleep on the plane.

]]>Aliza Carr, whose IG account is targeted at moms, posted a video of herself trying to get her her baby to sleep while on a 14-hour flight.
The little girl was 4-months-old at the time and the Australian mom can be seen bouncing the tiny passenger near the emergency exit row where travelers usually stretch their legs or wait for the bathroom.
“I know if my child’s life depended on it, she wouldn’t sleep in the plane bassinet, or even on us — standing, bouncing and aggressively swaying is the only way,” Carr wrote in the caption.
While most mothers will recognize the action, having probably used it themselves at some point, people in the comment section were far from empathetic.
“If I was sitting at that exit row and paid for the extra leg room… I’d be so mad having this happening in front of me the whole flight!” someone remarked.
The sentiment was shared by another who wrote, “No. A hard No! You can bounce your sweet babe in the back of the plane. I’d be pissed as a passenger that was forced to watch you bounce.”
Carr, who works as a midwife, pointed out that her fellow passengers would likely have been just as annoyed had she not comforted the baby and let her cry.
Can people just go back to complaining about keeping the window shade open it closed?

]]>The cabin oxygen pressure is mostly set to a lower amount than most people are used to, and this can cause your oxygen levels to drop as well. This can lead to you feeling light-headed or sleepy, which is why you probably fall asleep on planes pretty easily.
The air that circulates within the cabin is drawn from outside the plane, which is very low in moisture. This dry air can actually cause you to become dehydrated, so you have to make sure that before the flight and during you’re drinking a lot of water. The dry air can also dry out your skin quite easily, so bringing lotion is a good idea.
The fact that seats are getting tighter and more cramped leads to terrible circulation while you’re on a flight. This can especially affect your ankles and legs making them swollen or numb.
