You might be surprised to know that flight attendants know a lot more than where to find your seat and whether the in-flight snacks will be pretzels or peanuts. Want to know how to get bumped up to first class for free? Or why every flight attendant hates it when you order a Diet Coke? There are a lot of flying secrets we don’t know about, but these flight attendants just did a tell-all about the best kept ones. Are you one of the people they notice just as you step on a plane? And is it a good thing or not?

We have all heard it a million times: turn off your phone or switch it to airplane mode before the plane takes off. Did you know the reason is not actually because your phone signal will cause the plane to crash? It’s because using your electronic device while the plane is taking off or landing can irritate the air traffic control tower. Your phone can probably do more damage to the passengers of the flight if you chucked it at one of their heads rather than if you scrolled through Instagram.

Secrets Of Upgrades
Everybody wants an upgrade to those luxurious first class seats, but there are certain attributes a flight attendant looks for before giving you that coveted ticket. The people who usually get bumped up to first or business class are pregnant women, well-dressed flyers who are not only polite but also attractive, or of course, anyone who has a friend in the cabin crew. Are you thinking of arriving at your next flight in a full suit and tie, don’t think that will earn you a seat. Sometimes, the crew simply doesn’t have anything available.
