What's the biggest tip you have received from your PAX?
I saw a thread in another forum "what present did you give to your instructor after your CPL/ATPL" and thought that the above question is far more intriguing.
I start: on one occasion, both the commander and me received each 600 CHF, which is around 400 Euro. The commander said he never saw a bigger smile on my face
Cash is king! Cecco

Mine doesn't beat that but we both got €100 each for helping out some pax.
I thought we "just did our job" but they were really happy with our service.

Havn't been given any cash or goodies yet from my passengers 
But a mate of mine has been given vomit in the seat-pocket to clean out at the end of the day, so I'm thankful for nothing at times!!!!

had a partner in sim a lil bit back tellin me about his company from the mid west. Said he flew a guy to Vegas who gave the crew each 100 when leaving the acft. Got back on with an extra bag the guy asked if he had a good weekend. His reply "as a matter of fact I did" gave them each an envelope. 5k each. Evidentally he was up 250k on Black Jack

Seriously, the best tip I ever received from a passenger was to buy a certain stock. The down side was I only bought a $1,000.00 of the stock, received a return of $23,000.00. If I had really known how good of a tip that was, I would have empted out my bank account and hocked everything I owned to buy all that stock that I could have.
(And no, it was not inside trading, I checked first.)

Tip
Two tins of Caviar at about 500 grams or a little more a piece and a big bottle of some fancy wine. I gave my aunt one tin, and my dad and sister the other tin. I don't like the stuff. My dad later commented on the fact that "I have more money stuck between my teeth than I have in my wallet". My sister put the wine up for auction, it is expected to fetch around 2000 Euros. Sadly the Russian that gave it to me died in a car accident a few months later.
