Galley Gossip: Ask a flight attendant - Positano, Italy

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

I really hate to seem mean or dampen the enthusiasm of the other commentaries, but among the last ones who I would ask for information about a particular travel destination would be a flight attendant. Most of the time they have limited on-site, in-town travel experience in that the very nature of their job restricts in depth, long-term travel activities. But, perhaps, acquiring some information from the flight attendant is better than nothing. However, I would rather have attendant pour some more coffee and focus on the paying passengers than playing the travel guide.

Carl-you forget that most flight attendants also travel on their own time. As a f/a, I always go to other f/as before the travel books. I have never been let down! I also have found that most passengers seem to really enjoy talking to us and I have met some wonderful people on almost all of my flights. Most of us are smart enough to be able to figure out how to do a service and converse with others at the same time!
