My ideal pax:
Is this too much to ask for? This is how an ideal pax would behave on one of my flights (with me being my usual nice hostie self)
BOARDING
Me: Goodmorning, *smiles* may I see your boarding card please?
Pax: Hello, *smiles at me like I'm a human being not like something they've stepped in.* (Shows me their card with no fuss)
Pax stows their baggage, fastens their seatbelt, complies with cabin crew's polite instructions. Watches safety demo without talking or disturbing other pax.
INFLIGHT
Me: Would you care for a hot bevarage sir/madam?
Pax: A coffee please, just black. Thank you
Pax goes to the lavatory and manages to clean up after themselves. Hands in rubbish to crew as they come round to collect it. No abuse of any kind to crew or fellow passengers.
LANDING
Complies with the crew's instructions. Remains seated till the seatbelt sign goes off.
Me: Thank you, have a good day, buh bye! *smiles*
Pax: Thanks, you too, goodbye. *smiles*
Too much to ask for?
I also like it when pax are chatty and want to talk to you as long as it's not in critical phases or flight or when I'm eating!
