With this travel hack, it's easy to get special treatment on a plane.
Traveling by plane is exhausting, no matter how long or short the flight is. Fighting airport security and heading towards the gate, they are eager to be at their destination.
But one thing that can make an exhausting journey worthwhile is the feeling when the flight attendant tells you that you are the lucky customer chosen for seat upgrades.
Not all of us can fly first class. While it's not always possible to get a free seat upgrade, there are other things you can do to make your uncomfortable flight more enjoyable.
According to flight attendants, there is a secret that can guarantee you will get free drinks and extra snacks on your next flight.
US flight attendant Liz Dalbet said making “goody bags” for flight crews would go a long way to ensure they receive special treatment on their next trip.
She filmed the video in Tiktok. She showed that she would put one of these bags together.
In the caption, she wrote:
Liz started off with a goody bag by adding a small “thank you” sticker on the front of her ziplock bag. She then threw what was called “Flight attendant Staples.” This included water-soluble vitamin C bags and liquid IV to help crews stay healthy on the shift.
She also added to a small packet of chewing gum, which contains one piece per packet. This was said to be perfect for use whenever a flight attendant needs it.
She then added hand sanitizer wipes and an eye mask. Liz finished off her goody bag with “sweet sweets.” This time it was in the shape of a small chocolate biscuit.
In the comments, Liz explained that he normally gives goody bags to flight attendants who greet them at the door when they board the plane, and then they can then distribute the bags during the remaining flight crew.
The commenter thanked the experts for her helpful tips. Some even said they even tried it on their flight and saw great results from the thankful flight attendant.
One person said: “What a god, thank you! I'm definitely doing this.”
Another addition: “I did this for an international flight with candy and under-eye patches. Each of them came to me during my flight and said thank you!”
After all, a little kindness can go a long way for you!
