✈️ Ever wondered about the do’s and don’ts for flight attendants? Former flight attendant and now travel influencer Barbara Bacilieri spills the beans on some surprising rules she had to follow!
1. **No Kisses Allowed!** – Public displays of affection, including kissing, are a big no-no for cabin crew in uniform. And forget about smoking—whether it’s traditional cigarettes or vape pens. Even bubble-blowing with gum isn’t allowed if you’ve just quit smoking!
2. **Coffee Conundrum ☕** – Surprise! Drinking coffee at the boarding gate is off-limits. And while sipping alcohol is strictly prohibited, water is always available—but there’s a sneaky way it’s served.
3. **Secret Water Service 💦** – Barbara has a fun little trick for serving water on a plane without causing a stampede of thirsty passengers. By discretely serving it, she prevents the whole flight from clamouring for a drink. Want a tip? Skip the call button and quietly ask in the galley.
4. **Passenger Profiling 🛫** – As you board, ever noticed a flight attendant’s warm smile? They’re secretly assessing whether you need assistance or could lend a hand in an emergency—it’s all part of ensuring a smooth and safe journey.
These insights aren’t part of official training but picked up during her 14 years on the job. So, next time you fly, you might just see your flight crew in a whole new light! 🌟
