pax checking in for a long haul flights: Is it a Boeing 737?

pax: we paid to pre-book our seats, are we sat together?
me: Did you not understand what you were paying for?

44kg in one bag, you're going to need to re-distribute the weight because the baggage handlers won't lift it
"yes, but it's ok because its for 3 of us"

me:I can't let you take that as hand luggage, it weighs 3 times the allowance in one item
pax: yes but it's between the three of us though
me: but you can only carry 5kg in one item
pax: you're being so unreasonable, we're travelling with a baby, it's full of baby food and nappies etc
me: ok fine, would you want it to hit YOU over the head

or for every passport check that needs doing, for the pax to tell me that its fine because THEY'VE already checked, ok well my job is pretty redundant then isn't it

how many times I've been told I don't need to put my labels on because they have written labels on the bags

After 3 announcements requesting everyone has their own boarding cards with the passports open - the amount of people that will insist on handing over a pile of 7 boarding cards and a pile of 7 passports.. or when they just hand over a boarding card and then say "oh do you need my passport as well?" or better yet people that stuff their passports with the flight tickets, boarding cards, landing cards and duty free leaflets then hand the whole lot over claiming they didn't know I needed

calling seat row numbers 1-11 and 30-40
sorry madam we're only boarding rows 1-11 and 30-40
oh I thought you said 1-11 and 13-40

usually on the canadian flights: oh seats 12A and B, we've paid for seats 11A and B...
yes madam, there is no row 11 on this aircraft though.
but we've paid for those seats though.
The seats in row 12 are the same as the seats in row 11.
So we can sit where we like?


You're flight will be boarding at 13.45
OOOO is it going early?
