Easy guys!!! I am sure that since Cliff is not used to seeing ANY cabin crew we will all look PRETTY to him.....right??
Ask the hotels where you layover if any other crews layover there and if so- is there a crew room?? If there is a crew room and you come bearing gifts ( is wine/beer) you will receive a friendly welcome from everyone. Otherwise ask around where the "crew hangouts" are in various cities- Narita always has the cage and the truck, for example.
